Understanding Your Results
The result is displayed on the meter as a plasma glucose value. The system’s plasma calibration makes it easier for you to com- pare meter results with lab results. See
Comparing Meter and Laboratory Results for more information.
You and your Healthcare Professional have established target ranges for your blood glu- cose levels and any actions you should take in response to your test results. Follow your Healthcare Professional’s recommendations to receive the maximum benefit from testing.
If a test result falls outside of the target range that you and your Healthcare Profes- sional have established and you cannot link it to diet, exercise, medication, or stress, repeat the test. If the result is similar and
still outside of your range, review Testing
Tips for Accurate Results.
If you get an error message instead of a number as a test result, compare the test strip confirmation dot to the sample colour dots on the Colour Chart on the test strip vial label. If the comparison indicates your glu- cose is very low or very high and you have symptoms, follow the advice of your Healthcare Professional. If you do not have symptoms, follow the “What to Do” recom- mendations in Troubleshooting to resolve the problem. Repeat the test with a new test strip using the procedures outlined in Troubleshooting. If you continue to get an error or other message, call the OneTouch® Customer Care Line 1 800
