Taking A Test; Testing Your Blood Glucose - OneTouch VerioFlex Owner's Booklet

3 Taking a test

Testing your blood glucose

Preparing for a blood glucose test
NOTE: Many people find it helpful to practice testing with
control solution before testing with blood for the first
time. See page 60.
Have these things ready when you test:
OneTouch Verio Flex™ Meter
OneTouch Verio® Test Strips
Lancing device
Sterile lancets
NOTE:
• Use only OneTouch Verio® Test Strips.
• Unlike some blood glucose meters, no separate step to
code your OneTouch Verio Flex™ System is required.
• Testing must be done within operating temperature
range (50-104°F).
• Make sure your meter and test strips are about the
same temperature before you test.
• Keep test strips in a cool, dry place between 41°F
and 86°F.
