How to Test Your
Blood Glucose Level
CAUTION: To ensure accurate results, wash your hands with
warm, soapy water and dry before every test. Make sure
there is no grease, oil or lotion on the test site. Use lancets
only once. Do not use any lancet that has been used by
another person. Unwashed hands may lead to inaccurate
results.

How to test your blood glucose level:

[1] Preparing the AgaMatrix 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.
Remove Lancing Device Cap:
Snap off the cap from the lancing
device.
Insert New Lancet: Insert a new
AgaMatrix Lancet firmly into the
lancet holder cup. Pushing the
lancet into the lancet holder cup may cock the device; this is OK.
Twist the Lancet Cover Off : Hold
the lancet firmly in place with one
hand and use your other hand to
twist off the lancet cover. Do not discard the lancet cover. It
should be used when discarding your used lancet.
Replace Lancing Device Cap:
Replace the lancing device cap
