Blood Glucose test strips are plasma referenced and calibrated for easier
comparison to lab results. The normal fasting blood glucose range for non-pregnant adults with
diabetes is 70-130 mg/dL (3.9~7.2 mmol/L)*.
Two hours after meals, the blood glucose range for
non-pregnant adults with diabetes is less than 180 mg/dL (10 mmol/L).
For further queries about
diabetes: please consult your healthcare professional for the blood glucose range appropriate for
you.

Unusual Test Results
If your test result does not match the way you feel, please follow these steps:
1. Run a control test, Chapter 2, "Control Solution Testing."
2. Repeat a blood glucose test, Chapter 3, "Testing Your Blood Glucose."
3. If your test results still do not reflect the way you feel, call your healthcare professional
immediately.
1. Extremely high humidity may affect the test results. A relative humidity
greater than 90% may cause inaccurate results.
2. Hematocrit below 20% may cause higher results. Hematocrit above 60% may
cause lower results.
3. Some studies have shown that electromagnetic fields may affect results. Do
not test near an operating microwave oven.
