"HI" Result

What It Means:

Your monitor has determined that your blood glucose result is higher than 500 mg/dL (27.8 mmol/L) or there may be a problem with the

test strip.

What to Do:

Monitor your blood glucose again with a new test strip. If HI shows on the display window again, contact your healthcare professional immediately.

If you check your ketones as part of your diabetes management program, it is recommended that you check your blood ß-Ketone.
