Frequently Asked Questions

What do I do first?
If needed, install batteries and set the time –
test the Meter electronics with a Check Strip –
code the Meter to match Glucometer Elite Test
Strips – and then run a control test to test the
whole system before running a blood glucose test.
What does blood glucose monitoring do
for me?
Blood glucose levels change during the day due to
medication, exercise, diet, insulins or hypoglycemics
(oral agents) or possibly stress and illness. Blood
glucose testing provides information that will help
you understand the changes. This information can
help you manage your diabetes to keep your
blood sugar levels within your target range.
Do I need to read this book?
