UNDERSTANDING YOUR
TEST RESULT
If your blood glucose result seems unusually high
or low, or inconsistent with your previous results,
check the following:
Does the test strip code number match the
code number on the meter?
Was the blood sample applied immediately to
the test strip within 3 minutes of removing it
from the vial?
Was the size of the blood sample sufficient?
Was the test strip vial cap tightly sealed?
Was the test strip used before the expiration
date?
Were the test strips stored away from extreme
temperatures in very cold or hot weather or
from areas of high humidity?
Then run a quality control check with your
Glucoplus™ Control Solutions and a new test
strip. If the control result is within the acceptable
range, review testing procedure and repeat your
blood glucose test with a new test strip. If your
blood glucose value is still inconsistent with your
previous results, glucose trend, or how you feel,
please contact your doctor.
