decide what to do if they seem unusual.

anxiety, shakiness, sweating, headache, increased hunger, dizziness, pale skin color, sudden change in
mood or irritability, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, clumsiness, palpitations, and/or confusion.
High blood glucose (hyperglycemia): Symptoms of hyperglycemia may include, but are not limited to,
increased thirst, frequent urination, blurred vision, drowsiness, and/or unexplained weight loss.
WARNING
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, or other unusual symptoms, test your blood glucose
from the fingertip. If your blood glucose result is displayed as LO or HI, contact your healthcare
professional immediately.
