Each time you turn on your meter, the unit of measure will appear on the display with the R symbol. The unit of measure will also appear under every test result.
You may misunderstand your blood glucose results if your meter is set to the incorrect unit of measure. Your meter’s unit of measure should be set to mg/dL.
If your meter is set to the correct unit of measure, “mg/dL” will appear on the display. Your test result will not include a decimal point (Fig. 1). Do Not change this setting – this is the correct unit of measure for the United States.
