Checking the Amount of
Blood on the Test Strip
Although the ONE TOUCH
™
BASIC
™
Plus System 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
(3.3 mmol/L) or above 240 mg/dL
(13.3 mmol/L), and do not have
symptoms, first repeat the test.
If you have symptoms and
continue to get results that fall
below 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L) or
above 240 mg/dL (13.3 mmol/L),
follow the treatment advice of
your healthcare professional.
