If the blood glucose result does not reflect the patient's clinical symptoms, or seems
unusually high or low, run a control test. If the control test confirms that the system is
working properly, repeat the blood glucose test. If the repeated blood glucose result still
seems unusual, follow facility guidelines for further action or refer to the following table for
assistance in problem solving.
