Expected Test Result Values

Blood sugar values will vary depending on food intake,
medication dosages, health, stress, or activity. Non diabetic
plasma glucose concentrations are normally maintained
within a relatively narrow range, roughly 3.9 mmol/L –
6.1 mmol/L in the fasting state.
WARNING
You should consult with your health care professional
for glucose values specific to your needs.
• If your blood sugar reading is under 2.8 mmol/L,
follow medical advice immediately.
• If your blood sugar reading is over 13.9 mmol/L,
wash and dry your hands well and repeat the test
with a new strip. If you get a similar result, call your
health care professional as soon as possible.
• Always consult your health care professional before
changing your medication based on test results.

Control Solution Testing

CAUTION: Use only C
solutions from Bayer (Normal, Low and High)
®
with your C
ONTOUR
monitoring system. Using any other control
solution or any other combination of control
solution and strips can cause inaccurate results.
Quality Control
• Shake the control solution bottle well, about
15 times before every use.
• Unmixed control solution may cause inaccurate results.
You should perform a control test when:
• Using your meter for the first time.
• You open a new bottle or package of test strips.
• You think your meter may not be working properly.
• You have repeated, unexpected blood glucose results.
CAUTION: Check the expiration date on
the test strip bottle and the expiration date
and discard date on the control solution
bottle. DO NOT use expired materials.
Normal, Low or High control solutions are available and
sold separately if not included in the meter kit. Always use
C N control solutions from Bayer. Other brands
ONTOUR EXT
could present incorrect results. If you need help locating
C N control solutions from Bayer, call Bayer
