Checking the Amount of Blood
on the Test Strip
Although the OneTouch
®
Basic
®
Meter
requires only a small drop of blood, it is
very important that the drop be large
enough to cover the test spot
completely.
In many cases, the meter can detect if
the drop of blood was too small to give
an accurate reading. However, it is
important that you also look at the test
strip to make sure that you applied
enough blood.
Test results below 60 mg/dL
3
(3.3 mmol/L) mean low blood
glucose (hypoglycemia). Test
results greater than 240 mg/dL
4
(13.3 mmol/L) mean high blood
glucose (hyperglycemia). If you get
results below 60 mg/dL or above
240 mg/dL, and do not have
symptoms, first repeat the test. If
you have symptoms and continue
to get results that fall below
60 mg/dL or above 240 mg/dL,
follow the treatment advice of your
healthcare professional.
