If the result is higher than 600 mg/dL (33.3 mmol/L), “HIGH!” is displayed
instead of a result.
If your blood glucose test results in a LOW or HIGH message, repeat the
blood glucose test following all of the instructions provided in
“Step Four -
Testing Your Blood Glucose” on page 40
.
If your blood glucose test results in a LOW or HIGH message a second time,
follow the protocol established by your health care professional or contact your
healthcare provider immediately.
Please note that the exact blood glucose reading that constitutes a HIGH or
LOW reading depends on many factors, including individual differences, and
the
time since your last meal.
FACTORS THAT MAY LEAD TO INACCURATE RESULTS
Certain medications, food supplements, medical treatments and health conditions
can interfere with the blood glucose system and cause inaccurate results.
Incorrect testing technique or improper storage or handling of the Dario™ may also
lead to implausible test results which don’t match the way you feel. These include:
Your hands may not have been washed thoroughly
Your glucose meter test strip port may be contaminated.
Your test strip has been bent.
The test strip is expired. Check the “use by” date.
The length of time that has passed since first opening the test strip package
exceeds the allowed time.
Test strips were stored incorrectly.
Testing was done in a humid environment (for humidity specifications,
refer to
Technical Specifications on page 55
).
Your glucose meter has been dropped.
If your meter has been dropped and you are receiving error messages
or implausible results, contact customer support.
Do not rely on the blood glucose measurement alone in making health
care decisions.
