3. Read your test result. You will hear a beep when the test result appears on
the screen together with β-ketone icon "Ket". The test result will blink until
meter switches off.
CAUTION
● If HI appears on the screen:
HI appears if your test result is more than 8.0 mmol/L. Retest your blood
β-ketone immediately using a new sensor. If the reading is still high,
contact your doctor or healthcare professional immediately. "0.0"
appears if your blood β-ketone test result is less than 0.1 mmol/L: no
action is required.
● If test results do not match with how you feel:
Make sure you have performed the test correctly as explained in §5.2. If
no procedural errors were made, conduct a β-ketone control test to check
that the system is working properly (§5.3). If the system is working
properly and your blood test results still do not match with how you feel,
contact your doctor or healthcare professional.
● Do not ignore test results. Do not alter your treatment on the basis of the
β-ketone result without previously consulting your doctor or healthcare
professional.
