What is high blood sugar? In general, a blood sugar reading of more than 180 mg/dL or any reading above your target range is too high. A blood sugar reading of 300 mg/dL or more can be dangerous. If you have 2 readings in a row of 300 or more, call your doctor.

E-3 message is a safety feature to alert you that the test strip may be used, or the test strip may have been left outside of vial too long or the test sample may have been applied on top of the test strip. The meter is designed to trigger this alert instead of giving inaccurate readings.

Check your blood sugar level with your meter at the same time that blood is drawn for lab tests, being sure to use a fingerstick sample, not blood from the blood draw. Then compare your meter's reading with the lab results. Results that are within 15% of the lab reading are considered accurate.
