If your blood glucose test results in a LOW! or HIGH! message,
repeat the blood glucose test following all of the instructions in
Step Five: Testing Your Blood Glucose on page 47.
• If your blood glucose test results in a LOW! or HIGH! message a
second time, follow the protocol established by your health care
provider or contact your health care provider immediately.
• Note that many factors determine whether your blood glucose
reading is outside the range of 20 mg/dL-600 mg/dL (1.1-33.3
mmol/L), including individual differences and the time since your
last meal.
The American Diabetes Association suggests that the following expected
glucose values for individuals without diabetes:
Before eating (FPG) < 100 mg/dL
Two hours after meals (OGTT) < 140 mg/dL

Diabetes – 2017. Diabetes Care, 40 (Supplement 1): S1-S132.
