Hi
If the message "Lo" (Low) or "Hi" (High) appears, and you do not have any symptoms of
illness, first repeat the test. If you have symptoms or continue to get the same message,
please consult your healthcare professional and follow the treatment advice.
- If the message "Ketone" appears, it could mean that the blood acidity is increasing due
to the accumulation of substances called ketones bodies. First repeat the test, and if the
result is still the same, please urgently consult your healthcare professional and follow
the treatment advice.
