If the displayed result (particularly when blood glucose is measured) does not match the way you
feel or seems to be unusually high or low, perform a control test using control solution and a new
test strip (see description starting on page 55). If this check confirms proper functioning of the
meter, please read again the instructions on how to perform a test (starting on page 31). Perform
another test using a new test strip. If this result does not seem plausible either, please consult
your doctor.
