TESTING YOUR BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVELS
Special messages
HI: If your blood glucose test result is above
33.3 mmol/L (600 mg/dL), S will appear on the
meter display. This indicates severe hyperglycemia
(high blood glucose). You should re-check your
glucose level, and if S appears call your healthcare
professional immediately.
When your blood glucose test result is above
13.3 mmol/L (240 mg/dL) or reads S, Ç will
appear on the meter display. This message does not
mean that the system detected ketones, but that
testing with a ketone test strip may be advisable.
LO: If your test result is lower than 1.1 mmol/L
(20 mg/dL), T will appear on the meter display.
This indicates severe hypoglycemia (low blood
glucose). You should treat this condition according
to the recommendations of your healthcare
professional.
