TESTING YOUR BLOOD GLUCOSE
Applying blood and reading results
Once you have a blood sample and your meter shows the screen with the ashing blood drop icon
R
, you are ready to obtain a blood
glucose result. If your meter does not show the screen with the ashing blood drop icon
R
, remove the unused test strip and re-start the
test process. See Getting a blood sample in Section 3.
Prepare to apply the sample
Keeping your nger extended and steady, move the meter and test strip toward the blood drop.
Do Not apply blood on the top of the test strip.
Do Not hold the meter and test strip underneath
the blood drop. This may cause blood to run into
the test port and damage the meter.
When applying a drop of blood from your forearm or palm, keep your palm or
forearm steady and bring the top edge of the test strip to the drop of blood with
your other hand.
Fingertip
Palm
Forearm
When sampling blood from your forearm or palm, make sure the drop of blood is large enough (
approximate size) before you release
pressure and remove the lancing device.
Remove the lancing device
Carefully lift the lancing device away from your skin. Do Not smear the blood sample.
NOTE:
You may need to wait a little longer to get a large enough drop of blood from the forearm or palm. Do Not squeeze the site excessively.
If the sample drop of blood runs or spreads due to contact with hair or with a line in your palm, Do Not use that sample. Try puncturing
again in a smoother area.
Remember: You may have to adjust the lancing device to a deeper setting to get a large enough drop of blood ( approximate size).
