W WARNING
The package insert contains warnings:
A WARNING indicates a foreseeable serious hazard.
Self-testing is not a substitute for visits to your doctor. You must
receive proper instruction from a qualified healthcare professional
before you start self-testing your blood glucose. Your healthcare
professional will determine the appropriate blood glucose target
range jointly with you.
The cap of the test strip container contains a non-toxic silicate-
based drying agent. If you accidentally swallow any of this, drink
plenty of water!
These test strips deliver results that correspond to blood glucose
concentrations in plasma as per the recommendation of the
International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory
Medicine (IFCC) [1]. Therefore, the Accu-Chek SugarView app
displays blood glucose values that refer to plasma although you
always apply whole blood to the test strip.
The normal fasting glucose level for a non-diabetic adult is below
100mg/dL (5.6mmol/L). A criterion for the diagnosis of diabetes
in adults is a fasting glucose level of 126mg/dL or higher
(7.0mmol/L or higher) confirmed in two tests [2, 3, 4]. Adults with
a fasting glucose level between 100 and 125mg/dL (5.6 and
6.9mmol/L) are defined as having impaired fasting glucose
(prediabetes) [2]. Other diagnostic criteria for diabetes exist.
Consult your doctor or diabetes nurse to determine if you have
diabetes or not.
