suffering from severe dehydration, consult a healthcare professional immediately.
• Test results below 60mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L) indicate hypoglycemia, or low glucose. Test results
higher than 240 mg/dL (13.3 mmol/L) indicate hyperglycemia, or high glucose. Consult your
physician when one of these results is shown repetitively.

you have followed all instructions described in this owner's manual, call your healthcare
professional.
