Unusual Blood Glucose Results
If your blood glucose result does not match how you feel, check this list to help solve the problem.
Troubleshooting Checks Action
1. Check if the test strips were expired. Discard the test strips if they are past the use by
date. Repeat the blood glucose test with an
unexpired test strip.
2. Check if the cap on the test strip container was
always closed tightly.
Replace the test strips if you think the test strip
container was uncapped for some time and repeat
the blood glucose test.
3. Check if the test strip was used immediately
after removing it from the test strip container.
Repeat the blood glucose test with a new test strip.
4. Check if the test strips were stored in a cool, dry
place.
Repeat the blood glucose test with a properly stored
test strip.
5. Check if you followed the directions. See Chapter 2, Testing Your Blood Glucose, and
repeat the blood glucose test. Contact Roche if you
still have problems.
