6. Warnings, Precautions and Limitations

• Never make significant changes to your
diabetes control program or ignore
physical symptom without consulting
with your healthcare professional.
• Severe dehydration (excessive water loss)
may cause false low results. If you believe
you are suffering from dehydration,
consult your healthcare professional right
away.
• Extremes in hematocrit may affect test
results. Hematocrit levels less than
20% may cause falsely high readings.
Hematocrit levels greater than 60% may
cause falsely low readings.
• Inaccurate results may occur in severely
hypotensive individuals or patients in
shock. Inaccurate low results may occur for
individuals experiencing a hyperglycemic-
hyperosmolar state, with or without
ketosis. Critically ill patients should not be
tested with blood glucose meters.
• Normal endogenous (within body) natural
levels of uric acid, ascorbic acid (vitamin
C), bilirubin, triglycerides, and hemoglobin
do not interfere with your blood glucose
results obtained.
