About Testing Yourself or Others
• Certain substances can interfere with the ACCU-CHEK Aviva blood glucose
system and cause falsely high results. For example, peritoneal dialysis solutions
containing icodextrin (such as Extraneal) or certain immunoglobulin therapies
that contain maltose (such as Octagam 5 %), cause inaccurate results. For more
information, refer to the Test Strip Package Insert, or ask your doctor.
• If you are very dehydrated or urinating frequently, you may get an inaccurate
test result. If you think you are dehydrated, call your doctor right away.
• Some people with diabetes do not experience symptoms of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
Others, such as children or people who are unconscious or have certain disabilities, may not be
able to communicate their symptoms to caregivers. For these reasons, do not change any
treatment without first talking to a doctor.
• Run a control test when you open a new box of test strips or if you think that your test result is
incorrect. Running a control test lets you know that the meter and test strips are working
properly.
• Refer to your Test Strip and Control Solution Package Inserts for additional health-related
information.
