How to Test Your
Blood Glucose Level
This chapter explains how to perform a test with the iBGStar
Diabetes Manager Application.
To perform a blood glucose test using the iBGStar Meter
independently: Skip step [2].
You must sync your meter to the app to be able to download
readings from your meter to the app and set your meter's time
and date. For instructions on how to sync for the first time refer to
Chapter 12. Test results without a set time and date:
• Will be saved to the iBGStar meter in chronological order but will
not download to the app.
• Test results without a set time and date will be displayed on your
meter with "--:--"and "--/--/--" in place of the time and date.
Example Results:
If have you synced your iBGStar meter to the app previously and
you see dashes in place of the time and date you need to re-sync
your meter with the app. Readings that do not have a time and
date associated with them will not download to the app. You can
manually add these readings to the app to include them in your
statistics. For best results, frequently sync the meter with your app.
[1] Preparing the BGStar Lancing Device:
Use the gray cap for testing on a fingertip and the clear cap for
testing on the palm (at the base of the thumb) or forearm.

other hand to twist off the lancet cover. Keep the lancet cover.
It should be used when discarding your used lancet.
