Blood Glucose Tests
2
Before you perform your first blood glucose test, set up the meter correctly. You need the meter, a test strip,
a lancing device, and a lancet.
1
Wash and dry your hands.
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, poke your
fingertip with the lancing
device.
6
Gently squeeze your
finger to assist the blood
flow.
This helps you get a
blood drop.
7
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.
