Detailed Information

The meter provides you with plasma equivalent results.
Desirable ranges:
Normal plasma
glucose range for
people without
diabetes *
Total cholesterol *
Uric Acid *
A part of a complete blood count (CBC) - Capillary whole blood sample
• If the hematocrit test result is more than 70%, or hemoglobin is more than 23.8
(g/dL), the blood glucose test may be invalid. Please redo the test, and consult
your doctor if the result is repeatedly invalid.
• The β-Ketone test measures Beta-Hydroxybutyrate (ß -OHB), the most important of
the three β-Ketone bodies in the blood. Normally, levels of ß –OHB are expected to
be less than 0.6 mmol/L.
• ß -OHB levels may increase if a person fasts, exercises vigorously or has
diabetes and becomes ill. If your β-Ketone result is "Lo", repeat the β-Ketone
test with new test strips. If the same message appears again or the result does
not reflect how you feel, contact your healthcare professional.
Follow your healthcare professional's advice before you make any changes to
your diabetes medication programme. If your β-Ketone result is between 0.6
and 1.5 mmol/L, this may indicate development of a problem that could require
medical assistance. Follow your healthcare professional's instructions. If your
β-Ketone result is higher than 1.5 mmol/L, contact your healthcare professional
promptly for advice and assistance. You may be at risk of developing diabetic
ketoacidosis (DKA).
Please consult your doctor to determine a target range that works best for you.
