CHAPTER 3 :
Testing Your Blood Glucose

1. Getting a Drop of Blood

1) Wash your hands in warm, soapy water.
Rinse well and dry completely. Warming
fingers can increase blood flow.
2) Turn the lancet insert cap counterclockwise
to remove it, insert the lancet into the
lancing device holder and push down
firmly until it is fully seated. Twist the lancet
protective disk until it separates from the
lancet.
3) Replace the cap and turn it clockwise, until
it is snug. Adjust the puncture depth setting
by turning the comfort dial. The dial has 1
to 5 steps, and the higher the step number,
the stronger the blood sampling pressure
on the puncture site.
