Important Information about Monitoring Your
Blood Glucose
•
Do not use out-of-date test strips. Check the expiration
date printed on the test strip box and on each test strip
foil packet. If only the month and year are printed on the
test strip, then the expiration date
is the last day of that month.
•
Use the test strip immediately
when you take it out of its foil
packet.
•
Do not use a wet, bent, scratched,
or damaged test strip.
•
Do not use the test strip if its foil packet has a puncture or
tear in it.
•
Before you monitor your blood glucose allow your meter
and test strip to reach the recommended operating
temperature range of the test strip. The test strip operating
temperature range is in the "What else do I need to know?"
section of the blood glucose test strip instructions for use.
•
Read the lancing device instructions for use.
