Why Regular Blood Glucose Testing Is Important
Testing your blood glucose regularly can make a big difference in how you manage your
diabetes every day. We have made it as simple as possible.
Important Information About Your New Meter
• Your new meter is designed for testing fresh whole blood samples (for example, blood
from your fingertip or forearm). The meter is for outside the body (in vitro) use. It should
not be used to diagnose diabetes.
• This meter requires Accu-Chek Performa Test Strips. Other test strips will give inaccurate
results.
• Your new meter comes with a preset time and date. You may need to change the time to
your time zone.
• If you have followed the steps in the booklet, but still have symptoms that do not seem to
match your test results – or if you have questions – talk to your healthcare professional.
