Symptoms of Low or High Blood Glucose
Being aware of the symptoms of low or high blood glucose can help you understand your test results and
decide what to do if they seem unusual.
Low blood glucose (hypoglycemia): Symptoms of hypoglycemia may include, but are not limited to, anxiety,
shakiness, sweating, headache, increased hunger, dizziness, pale skin color, sudden change in mood or
irritability, fatigue, diculty concentrating, clumsiness, palpitations, and/or confusion.
High blood glucose (hyperglycemia): Symptoms of hyperglycemia may include, but are not limited to,
increased thirst, frequent urination, blurred vision, drowsiness, and/or unexplained weight loss.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, or other unusual symptoms, test your blood glucose
from the fingertip. If your blood glucose result is displayed as LO or HI, follow your healthcare
professional’s instructions or contact your healthcare professional immediately. If your blood glucose
result does not match how you feel, follow the steps under Chapter 3, Unusual Test Results.
WARNING
The meter is designed to provide a numerical value for blood glucose in the range of 20–600 mg/dL.

feel, contact the ACCU-CHEK Customer Care Service Center toll-free at 1-800-858-8072.
