Unusual Blood Glucose Results
If your blood glucose result does not match how you feel, follow these steps:
1. Perform a control test. See Chapter2, Control Tests.
2. Repeat the blood glucose test. See Chapter4, Performing a Blood Glucose Test with Blood from Your
Fingertip.
If your blood glucose result still does not match how you feel, follow your healthcare professional’s instructions
or call your healthcare professional immediately.
NOTE
Always follow your healthcare professional’s instructions. For example, if your healthcare professional
has advised you to immediately treat a low blood glucose result (such as by eating something), then
do that first.
WARNING
• Do not change your treatment because of one blood glucose result.
• NEVER ignore symptoms of low or high blood glucose.
