About Testing Yourself or Others
WARNING
• DO NOT CHANGE YOUR THERAPY BASED ON A TEST RESULT THAT DOES NOT MATCH HOW
YOU FEEL OR IF YOU BELIEVE THAT YOUR TEST RESULT COULD BE INCORRECT.
• It is always a good idea to have a back-up testing method available. Failure to test could
cause a delay in therapy decisions and lead to a serious medical condition. Examples of
back-up testing methods include a back-up meter or testing by a laboratory. Ask your
healthcare professional or pharmacist about other possible back-up methods.
• If your blood glucose result does not match how you feel and you have followed the
instructions in this User's Manual, follow your healthcare professional's instructions, or
contact your healthcare professional.
