Some common reasons for unsuccessful calibrations
Your BG test result is below 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L) or above 300 mg/dL (16.7 mmol/L). Perform the •
calibration test when your blood glucose is within the above range.
Your blood glucose is changing too rapidly. is can happen during a meal or exercise activities or if you •
have taken insulin. Give yourself an hour before you try to perform a calibration test again. Do not perform
a Blood Glucose mode test for calibration if you do not see the blood drop icon on the screen.
