Running a Blood Sugar Test

Chapter 3: Testing Your Blood Sugar

Before running your first test, make sure you set up your meter properly and run a control test.
See Chapters 1 and 2 for details.

1. Wash and dry your hands.

2. Take one test strip from the test strip vial. Close the test

strip vial cap tightly.

3. Insert the end of the test strip with the silver-colored

bars into the meter, with the yellow window facing up.
The meter turns on automatically.

4. Make sure the code on the meter matches the code on the

test strip vial.

5. When you see the flashing blood drop, hold the lancet

device against the side of your fingertip and press the
release button.
