Blood Glucose Levels

Blood glucose goes up after eating, but one to two hours later
should return to the normal range.
The chart below indicates before and after meal ranges for
non-pregnant adults without diabetes.

YOUR blood glucose test results should fall within a personal
target range recommended by your healthcare professional. Once
you have established your target range, you will be able to detect
when your results are high or low. Clinical studies have shown
the closer you get to your target range, the more likely you are to
reduce your risk of diabetes-related complications.

Troubleshooting Tips

If your blood glucose result does not match how you feel,
follow these tips:
• Ensure you are carefully following the steps to perform a blood
glucose test (see Testing Your Blood on page 29).
• Check the expiration date on the POGO Test Cartridge. Do
not use the cartridge beyond the open expiration date (see
Important POGO Automatic Test Cartridge Information on page
19).
• Make sure your meter and test cartridges are always stored in
a cool, dry place. If necessary, repeat the test with a properly
stored test cartridge (see Storage and Handling on page 73).
• Perform a Control Solution Test to ensure that the system is
working properly (see Performing a Control Solution Test on
page 26).
• Make sure the display on your meter is working properly
by checking that when the meter is turned on, the display
completely lights up (see Turning On/Off Meter on page 23).
• If your blood glucose results still do not reflect the way you feel,
call your healthcare professional immediately.
