When the results are "HI" on the Abbott FreeStyle Precision Neo, it means the blood ketone level is higher than 8.0 mmol/L. This may indicate a serious medical condition such as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). It is recommended to repeat the test with a new test strip. If the result is still "HI," contact a healthcare professional immediately.
