Understanding your test results
The smartLAB
®
pro blood glucose test strips are whole-blood ref-
erenced. Your meter is plasma-calibrated for easier comparison to
lab results. The unit of blood glucose test results displayed on the
screen is either mg/dL or mmol/L, depending on which unit of
measurement you have selected. The mmol/L results will always
include a decimal point; mg/dL results do not include a decimal
point. If „LO“ appears on the display, the monitor has deter-
mined that your blood glucose level is lower than 1.1 mmol/L or
20 mg/dL. If „HI“ appears on the display, the monitor has deter-
mined that your blood glucose level is higher than 35 mmol/L or
630 mg/dL. Please refer to the User Manual for instructions on
warning messages.
Expected results for non-diabetic adults:
The normal fasting glucose range is 70 to 110 mg/dL (3.9 to 6.1
mmol/L). Two hours after meals, normal glucose values should be
less than 120 mg/dL (6.7 mmol/L).
Unusual test results:
If your blood glucose result doesn‘t match the way you feel, fol-
low these steps, and then repeat the test:
1. Check if the strips are within the expiration date.
2. Be sure that the drop of blood completely lled the reaction
zone of the test strip
3. Do a function control test with the smartLAB
