Important Information
• Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause false
low results. If you believe you are suffering from dehydration,
consult a healthcare professional immediately.
• Test results below 3.9 mmol/L mean low blood glucose
(hypoglycaemia). Test results greater than 13.3 mmol/L mean
high blood glucose (hyperglycaemia). If you get results below
3.9 mmol/L or above 13.3 mmol/L and do not have symptoms,
first repeat the test. If you have symptoms or continue to get
results that fall below 3.9 mmol/L or above 13.3 mmol/L, follow
the treatment advice of your healthcare professional.
• If you are experiencing symptoms that are not consistent with
your blood glucose test results and you have followed all
instructions described in the OneTouch
®
UltraSmart
Owner’s
Booklet, call your healthcare professional.
• A red blood cell count (haematocrit) that is very high (above
55%) or very low (below 30%) can cause false results.
