How to Test Blood Glucose

Check supplies. Always check your supplies
before using. Check Meter for damage (damaged
or cracked Display, missing or damaged buttons).
If any damage is seen, do not use Meter. Call for
assistance. Check Test Strip vials for damage.
Discard any vials that appear cracked or broken.
1. Check dates on Test Strip vial being used. Do
not use if 120 day past written date or date
printed next to EXP, whichever comes first.
2. Wash hands (and forearm for alternate site
testing). Rinse well and dry thoroughly.
3. Remove Test Strip from vial. Recap vial
immediately.
Note: Use Test Strip quickly after removal from
vial. Test Strips that have been left out of
vial too long will give an error message when
used. Discard old Test Strip and use
new Test Strip for testing.
4. With Meter off, insert Test
Strip Contact End (Contacts
facing up) into Test Port.
Meter turns on. Keep Strip
in Meter until testing is
finished.
