Understanding Your Blood Glucose Test Results

Blood glucose values will vary depending on food intake, medication,
health, stress, and exercise. The ideal range for adults with and without
diabetes should be
• 70 to 100 mg/dL before meals, and
• 70 to 140 mg/dL after meals
It is important to consult with your physician or healthcare professional
to determine an appropriate target range for you.
What to do if you get a high or low reading
If the Meter displays results that are HI or LO, or you get a result that is
more than 250 mg/dL or below 50 mg/dL AND you feel ill:
• Treat your diabetes according to the instruction from your doctor
and/or consult your healthcare provider.
If the Meter displays results that are "HI" or "LO," or you get a result that
is more than 250 mg/dL or below 50 mg/dL AND you DO NOT feel ill:
• Test your meter with a control solution, refer to page 25,
Control Solution Testing.
• Test again using fingertip.
If you still get a high or low reading, contact your health care professional.
NOTE:
• Inaccurate results may occur in severely hypotensive individuals
or patients in shock.
• Inaccurate low results may occur for individuals experiencing a
hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar state, with or without ketosis.
• Critically ill patients should not be tested with blood glucose meters.
