Understanding Blood Glucose Test Results
The meter displays blood glucose results in mg/dL. The unit of measurement is preset. You
cannot change this setting.
IMPORTANT: The meter displays results from 20 - 500 mg/dL. Low or high blood glucose
results can indicate a potentially serious medical condition.
The expected glucose range for a non-diabetic, non-pregnant fasting adult is under
100 mg/dL. Two hours after meals, levels should be less than 140 mg/dL. 3
