Your health care professional can work with you to decide what actions, if any, you should take if your results are higher than 180 mg/dL. If your meter displays HIGH GLUCOSE, you may have a very high blood glucose level (severe hyperglycemia) exceeding 600 mg/dL. If the result is HIGH GLUCOSE again, this may indicate a severe problem with your blood glucose control and it is important you obtain and follow instructions from your health care professional without delay. 35 Applying blood and reading results Applying blood and reading results CAUTION: Repeated unexpected glucose results If you continue to get unexpected results, check your system with control solution.
