Reference Range/ Critical values
Any sample reading below 2.8 mmol/l or above 20 mmol/l, or which is not in keeping with the clinical
picture, should be verified by sending a venous specimen of blood to the laboratory for random blood
glucose testing.
If ‘LO’ is displayed on the meter, blood glucose may be below 0.6 mmol/L.
If ‘HI’ is displayed on the meter, blood glucose may be over 33.3 mmol/L.
A high or low result should be confirmed on a venous sample analysed in the laboratory.
If the blood glucose result does not reflect the patient’s clinical symptoms, or is unexpectedly High or Low, a
quality control test should be performed to check the performance of the meter. If this is satisfactorily, the
patient test should be repeated and if confirmed then medical staff informed.

base unit.
