Understanding Your Test Results
Expected Values*
The EASYMAX® Blood Glucose test strips are whole-blood referenced and calibrated for easier
comparison to lab results. The normal fasting blood glucose range for non-pregnant adults with
diabetes is 70-130 mg/dL (3.9~7.2 mmol/L)*. Two hours after meals, the blood glucose range for
non-pregnant adults with diabetes is less than 180 mg/dL (10 mmol/L). For further queries about
diabetes: please consult your healthcare professional for the blood glucose range appropriate for
you.

Unusual Test Results
If your test result doesn't match the way you feel, please follow these steps:
1. Run a control solution test, Chapter 2 "Control Solution Testing."
2. Repeat a blood glucose test, Chapter 3 "Testing Your Blood glucose."
3. If your test results still don't reflect the way you feel, call your doctor immediately.
1. Extremely high humidity may affect the test results. A relative humidity above 90%
may cause inaccurate results.
2. Hematocrit: The hematocrit between 10% and 65% will not affect the results.
Hematocrit below 10% may cause higher results. Hematocrit above 65% may cause
lower results.
3. Some studies have shown that electromagnetic fields may affect results. Do not
test near an operating microwave oven.
