Pre- or Post-Meal Marking (optional)

NOTE: To understand the effects that
meals have on your blood glucose,
it is important to test in "pairs" — 1
hour before and 2 hours after you eat.
The American Diabetes Association
(ADA) also recommends testing prior
to exercise and bedtime or when
hypoglycemia is suspected.
After a test, the meter displays a glucose
result with a blinking pre- or post-meal
symbol.
If you CHOOSE NOT TO MARK your result:
• You are done. Turn off meter or allow it to
turn off automatically.
If you CHOOSE TO MARK your result:
• Press the scroll buttons until the
( ) marking dot appears before or after
the appropriate meal symbol.
• To confirm, turn off meter or allow it to
turn off automatically.

IMPORTANT: Remember to set the correct time and date on your
meter before testing. If incorrect, your mealtime averages will not
adequately reflect your glucose patterns. (see Setting Up Your
Meter on page 55).

Understanding Your Results

The POGO Meter will display glucose results
ranging from 20 to 500 mg/dL.
LO (Low) Results
If your test result is lower than 20 mg/dL,
LO (low) will appear on the display screen.
This indicates severe low blood sugar
(hypoglycemia).
CAUTION: You may get false low glucose results if you are
severely dehydrated. If you think you are severely dehydrated,
contact your healthcare professional immediately.
HI (High) Result
If your test results are above 500 mg/dL,
HI (high) will appear on the display screen.
This indicates severe high blood sugar
(hyperglycemia).
If your test results are unusually high or
low, immediately repeat the test.
CAUTION: LO (low) and HI (high) blood glucose results indicate
potentially serious health issues. You should immediately contact
your healthcare professional and follow his or her treatment
advice if you continue to get unusually high or low results.
