Blood Glucose Test 6
13
Note: Multiple Site Testing
Consult with your healthcare professional prior to testing from a site
other than your fingertips.
Blood glucose testing results from sites other than your fingertip
could be significantly different. These differences may vary from indi-
vidual to individual, and are physiological differences caused by fac-
tors such as food intake, health state and medication being used.
If you perform testing other than from a fingertip:
A. Select a soft, fleshy area of skin that is free from hair and visible
veins.
B. Wash the puncture site with soap and warm water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly. This ensures cleanliness and increases blood flow to
the puncture site.
C. After you have determined
the proper depth of your
selected site, set the lancing
device for that depth of punc-
ture. Firmly press the lancing
device against the skin at the
selected lancing site, then
press the button to lance the
skin. When a drop of blood forms on the surface of your skin,
bring the meter and test strip up to touch the drop.
4. Touch and hold the TEST END
(tip) of the Test Strip to the drop
of blood until the Meter beeps.
The Test Strip is filled, and the
timer begins counting down
from 29 seconds.
