Taking a test
Interpreting unexpected
test results
Refer to the following cautions whenever your blood
glucose results are higher or lower than what you expect.
m CAUTION
Low blood glucose results
If your blood glucose result is below 70 mg/dL or is shown
as EXTREME LOW GLUCOSE, it may mean hypoglycemia
(low blood glucose). This may require immediate
treatment according to your health care professional's
recommendations. Although this result could be due to a
test error, it is safer to treat first, then do another test.
Dehydration and low blood glucose results
You may get false low blood glucose results if you
are severely dehydrated. If you think you are severely
dehydrated, contact your health care professional
immediately.
High blood glucose results
If your blood glucose result is above 180 mg/dL, it may
mean hyperglycemia (high blood glucose) and you should
consider re-testing. Talk to your health care professional
if you are concerned about hyperglycemia.
