Unexpected Test Results

Unexpected test results can occur. When this
happens, please refer to these cautions.
Low Blood Glucose Test Results
False low results may occur if you are severely
dehydrated. If you think you are severely
dehydrated, contact your healthcare professional
immediately.
If your test result is lower than
70 mg/dL or "Lo" appears on your
meter screen, this could be a result
of hypoglycemia. Although this result
could be due to a testing error, it
is best to treat first and retest later.
Contact your healthcare professional
immediately. See Figure 39.
High Blood Glucose Test Results
If your test result is higher than 180 mg/dL, this
could be a result of hyperglycemia. If you are
uncertain about this test result, retest. If the result
continues to be higher than 180 mg/dL, contact
your healthcare professional immediately.
