◆Excessive water loss (severe dehydration) may cause false low results.2,3 Severe dehydration, if untreated, can lead to life- threatening medical complications such as diabetic ketoacidosis. Some factors causing dehydration are vomiting, diar- rhea, inadequate fluid intake, some drugs (for example, diuretics), sustained uncontrolled diabetes, and shock.4 If you have these symptoms, consult your Healthcare Professional immediately, even if your glucose reading is not unusually high.

◆Because some diseases can be transmit- ted by blood, use care when disposing of used lancets and test strips.

NOTE: Blood glucose monitoring requires the help of a Healthcare Professional. Work with your Healthcare Professional to set your own target blood glucose values, arrange your test- ing times, and discuss the meaning of your blood glucose results.
