Health Conditions Which Can Cause Out–of–Range Results
If you are getting results outside your target range and you believe the
OneTouch® SureStep® Meter and
OneTouch® SureStep® Test Strips are working together properly, ask yourself the following questions.
◆“How do I feel?”
◆“Do I have symptoms of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia): slurred speech, headache, tingling of lips, cool sweating, rapid heartbeat, disorientation, weakness,
dizziness, fainting, hunger, nervousness, irritability, or tremors?”
◆“Do I have symptoms of high blood glucose (hyperglycemia): fatigue, dry mouth and skin, increased thirst or hunger, blurry vision, increased urination, rapid deep breathing, or a fruity smell to the breath?”
◆“What have I eaten?”
◆“How much have I exercised?”
◆“Am I ill (common cold, flu, etc.)?”
◆“Have I been under stress lately?”
If your Healthcare Professional has not already instructed you in dealing with these situations, you should contact your Healthcare Professional.
