Blood Glucose Readings 4
Warnings:
Blood glucose readings below 3.9 mmol/L may indicate hypoglycaemia (low
blood glucose). Blood glucose readings above 13.9 mmol/L may indicate
hyperglycaemia (high blood glucose). Follow your healthcare provider's
suggestions for treatment.
If you get a 'Treat your low BG!' message and feel symptoms such as weakness,
sweating, nervousness, headache , irritability, or confusion, follow your
healthcare provider' s recommendation to treat hypoglycaemia.
If you get a 'Treat your high BG! If it remains high, seek medical advice'
reading message and feel symptoms such as fatigue, thirst, excess urination
or blurry vision, follow your healthcare provider' s recommendation to treat
hyperglycaemia.
'LO' or 'HI' blood glucose readings can indicate potentially serious conditions
requiring immediate medical attention. If left untreated, these situations can
quickly lead to diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), shock, coma or death.
