28 TESTING YOUR BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVELS
Check that the InDuo
TM
meter display is working
properly. You will know the meter display is working
properly because each time the InDuo
TM
meter is
turned on, all the segments of the meter display
appear briefly (see “InDuo
TM
meter and insulin doser
display symbols” in cover flap).
After checking that the InDuo
TM
meter display is
working, you are ready to obtain a drop of blood
and to do a blood glucose test. When carrying out a
blood glucose test, keep the risk of infection to a
minimum by observing the following precautions:
æ Caution:
Never share a lancet or the blood sampler with
anyone.
Always use a new sterile lancet every time you
take a blood sample. Lancets are for single use
only.
Avoid getting hand lotion, oils, dirt, or debris on
the lancets or on the meter.
