Many times, the meter can detect if there
is not enough blood and will show
but you should also look at the test strip
to make sure.
Step 3: Apply blood to the test spot
Apply blood to the test spot so as to cover
it completely with a round drop. It is very
important that enough blood is applied.
Do not:
• Smear blood onto
the test spot.
• Apply a second
drop after the test
begins.
• Move the test strip
as you apply blood.
• Remove the test
strip from the meter
to apply blood.
