This is how to do it:
1. Select a part of the body that is
soft, not too densely covered with
hair and not near a bone or a vein.
2. Massage the area gently to prepare
the skin and to improve the
circulation.
3. Hold the lancing device against the
lancing spot for a few seconds and
then press the trigger button.
4. Wait until a blood drop forms
under the AST cap with a diameter
of approx. 1.4 mm.
5. Remove the lancing device from
the skin carefully and proceed in
the same way as for the normal
protective cap (see 5.3.1 Performing
a blood glucose test, p. 24
onwards).
