Before you perform your first blood glucose test, set up the meter correctly. You need the meter with
pre-inserted activation chip, a test strip, a lancing device, and a lancet.
2
Prepare the lancing
device.
3
Check the use by date
on the test strip
container.
Do not use test strips
past the use by date.
4
Insert the test strip into
the meter in the direction
of the arrows.
The meter turns on and
beeps.
5
When the blood drop
symbol flashes, perform
a fingerstick with the
lancing device.
6
Gently squeeze your
finger to assist the blood
flow.
This helps you get a
blood drop.
7
Wash and dry your
hands.
Touch the blood drop to the front edge of the
yellow window of the test strip.
Do not put blood on top of the test strip.
The meter beeps and flashes when there is
enough blood in the test strip.
