Optional Colour Chart

A Colour Chart is included with
each package of SureStep

Test

Strips. It is useful as an additional
check that your meter and test
strips are working properly. The
Colour Chart is NOT a replacement
for a SureStep

Meter test.

The chart shows four shades of
blue, each corresponding to a blood
glucose level. It also shows an
off-white shade for new, unused
test strips. Use the Colour Chart in
the following two ways.

1. Before testing.

confirmation dot on the back of
the new test strip to the shade
marked unused on the chart. Do
not use the test strip if the con-

the Colour Chart.

2. After testing.

of the confirmation dot will
either match one of the colours
on the chart or fall between two
colours. When the colour of
the blue dot falls between two
