BLOOD GLUCOSE TESTING

Obtaining a Drop of Blood

Step 1
Wash hands with soap and warm water. Dry hands
thoroughly. If you use alcohol wipes to cleanse fingers,
make sure the area is dry before lancing finger.
Unwashed hands or residual alcohol may lead to
inaccurate readings.
Step 2
Let the arm hang down for 10 to 15 seconds. Holding the
arm below the heart and massaging the wrist, palm and
finger makes it easier to obtain a blood drop.
Step 3
Choose a site on the side of a fingertip to minimize pain.
