  • Page 44 Be sure that you: Touch only the tip of the drop of blood to the test spot. Apply enough blood to form a round, shiny drop that covers the test spot completely and stays wet during the entire test. Do not smear blood on the test spot or apply a second drop after the test begins.
  • Page 45: Special Messages

    Blood glucose test results are automati- cally stored in your meter’s memory with the time and date they were per- formed. In addition, you may wish to enter an event label and insulin infor- mation. For information on event labeling and insulin programming features, see Event Labeling, Insulin Programming, pages 42–47.
  • Page 46 If you take insulin, you may be producing ketones. Testing your urine with a ketone test strip may be necessary. Blood glucose results greater than 33.3 mmol/L are displayed as hi and your meter will beep in a high tone. (Example) These messages indicate very high blood sugar (severe hyperglycemia).
  • Page 47: Checking The Amount Of Blood On The Test Strip

    Checking the Amount of Blood on the Test Strip Although the ONE TOUCH System requires only a small drop of blood, it is very important that the drop be large enough to cover the test spot completely. In many cases, the meter can detect if the drop of blood was too small to give an accurate reading.
  • Page 48 Front Side Remove the test strip from the meter and look at the test spot. It should still have a wet, shiny drop that completely covers the test spot. If the blood sample has a dull, dry appearance, you may not have applied enough blood, or you may have smeared it.
  • Page 49: Immediately After Testing

    IMMEDIATELY AFTER TESTING The ONE TOUCH Profile ® allows you to enter and store informa- tion linked to each test result. You can save information on diet, exer- cise, and insulin dosages in memory and link this information with each blood glucose test you perform.
  • Page 50 You can link an event label to your blood glucose result immediately after testing before you remove and inspect the test strip or later when you are reviewing the tests stored in your meter’s memory. To select an event label, press the C button while the blood glucose test result is still showing on the meter dis- play.
  • Page 51: Insulin Programming

    Insulin Programming The ONE TOUCH Profile ® allows you to link insulin type and dosage information to each blood glu- cose test result. Set the Insulin Prompt option to “on,” and you will be prompt- ed to enter insulin information after each blood glucose, control solution, or check strip test (see page 67).

  • Page 57: Expected Test Results (Target Range)

    Never use your meter with blood that has been placed in a gray top test tube. A variation between meter and lab results can occur because blood glu- cose levels can change significantly over short periods, especially if you have recently eaten, exercised, taken medication, or experienced stress.
  • Page 58: Testing Tips To Ensure Accuracy

    your test results should fall within the target range recommended by your healthcare professional. Once you have established your target range, you will be able to recognize when your results are high or low and know when to take action based on the advice of your healthcare professional.
  • Page 59 Before testing: Wash your hands before testing. Use a new, sterile lancet. Make sure you are using ONE TOUCH Test Strips. ® Check the expiration date on the test strip vial. If it has passed, dis- card the unused test strips and open a new vial.
