Performing a Blood Glucose Test
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. Prepare the lancing device.
2. Wash and dry your hands.
3. Insert the test strip into the meter in the
70
direction of the arrows. The meter turns
on.
4. Make sure the code number on the
display matches the code number on the
test strip container. If you miss seeing
the code number, remove the test strip
and reinsert it into the meter.
