Important Health-Related Information

• Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause false low
results. If you believe you are suffering from severe dehydration,
consult your physician immediately.
• Test results below 3.3 mmol/L (60 mg/dL) mean low blood glucose
(hypoglycaemia).
• Test results greater than 13.3 mmol/L (240 mg/dL) mean high blood
glucose (hyperglycaemia).
• If you get results below 3.3 mmol/L (60 mg/dL) or above 13.3 mmol/L
(240 mg/dL) and do not have symptoms of hypoglycaemia or
hyperglycaemia, repeat the test. If you have symptoms or continue to
get results that fall below 3.3 mmol/L (60 mg/dL) or above 13.3 mmol/L
(240 mg/dL), follow the treatment advice of your healthcare
professional.
• If you are experiencing symptoms that are not consistent with your
blood glucose test and you have followed all instructions described in
the FreeStyle Lite Owner's Booklet, call your healthcare professional.
