[3] Lancing: To ensure accurate results, wash hands with
warm, soapy water and dry before every glucose test. For
details on possible test sites, refer to chapter 3.
For instructions on how to test on your palm or forearm,
please refer to chapter 9.
Note: Keep your hand warm or
gently massage the site you are
lancing to stimulate blood flow.
Lance Test Site: Press the lancing
device against the site to be
lanced. Press the release button.
Express Blood Drop: When testing
on a finger tip, wipe away the first
blood drop that appears using
a clean tissue or paper towel.
Squeeze from the base of your
finger up towards the tip, until a
second small blood drop forms.
Do not squeeze directly around
the lanced area.
If necessary, set the lancing device to a deeper setting or use
a larger lancet to produce enough blood.
