Steps before testing
Checking the unit of measurement
Blood glucose results can be displayed in two different units of measurement (mg/dL or mmol/L).
Consequently, there are two different versions of the same meter. Check that your meter displays the unit
of measurement you are accustomed to. You can find the unit of measurement
displays on the type plate on the back of your meter. If you do not know which unit of measurement is
correct for you, ask your healthcare professional.
W
The unit of measurement that your meter displays cannot be changed. If the wrong unit of
measurement is printed on the type plate, contact the customer support and service centre (see
page 134). Using the wrong unit of measurement may cause misinterpretation of your test results and
can cause the wrong therapy recommendation to be made, and thus produce serious adverse health
effects.
