Lo And Hi Readings - Abbott FreeStyle Lite Manual Del Propietário

LO and HI Readings

Important: Low or high blood glucose readings can indicate a potentially
serious medical condition. The FreeStyle® Lite Meter displays results from
20 to 500 mg/dL.
If your test result is lower than 20 mg/dL, LO will appear on the meter
display screen. This reading indicates severe hypoglycemia (low blood
glucose).

If you get a LO reading, but have no symptoms of low blood glucose,
then retest with a new test strip on your fingers. If you still get a LO
reading, follow your doctor's recommendation to treat hypoglycemia.
If your test is above 500 mg/dL, HI will appear on the display screen.
This indicates severe hyperglycemia (high blood glucose).
