Understanding your test results

The smartLAB
® nG blood glucose test strips are plasma referenced
and calibrated for easier comparison to lab results. The unit of
blood glucose test results displayed on the screen is either mg/
dL or mmol/L, depending on which unit of measurement you
have selected. The mmol/L results will always include a decimal
point; mg/dL results do not include a decimal point.
Expected results for non-diabetic adults:
The normal fasting glucose range is 70 to 100 mg/dL (3.9 to 6.1
mmol/L). Two hours after meals, normal glucose values should be
less than 120 mg/dL (6.7 mmol/L).
Expected results for diabetic adults:
The normal fasting blood glucose range for an adult with diabetes
is 70-130 mg/dL (3.9 7.2 mmol/L)*. Two hours after meals, the
~
blood glucose range for an adult with diabetes is less than 180
mg/dL (10.0 mmol/L). For further queries about diabetes: please
consult your healthcare professional for the blood glucose range
appropriate for you.
