Blood Glucose Testing

You can use the built-in meter to check your blood glucose, whether you 

are wearing a Sensor or not . You can perform a blood glucose test on 

your fingertip or approved alternate site . Be sure to read the test strip 

instructions for use prior to using the built-in meter .

Step

Action

1

 

 Wash your hands and the test site with warm 

soapy water for accurate results . Thoroughly dry 

your hands and the test site . To warm the site, 

apply a warm dry pad or rub vigorously for  

a few seconds .

Note: 

Avoid areas near bones and areas 

with lots of hair . If you get a bruise, consider 

selecting another site .

CAUTION: 

If you think you have low  

glucose (hypoglycaemia) or you suffer  

from hypoglycaemia unawareness,  

test on your fingers .

Step

Action

2

 Check the test strip expiry date .

3

 Open the foil test strip packet at the notch and 

tear down to remove the test strip . Use the test 

strip immediately after removing from the  

foil packet . 

4

 Insert the test strip with the three black lines at 

the end facing up . Push the strip in until it stops .

5

 Use your lancing device to obtain a blood drop 

and apply blood to the white area at the end of 

the test strip .
If sounds are turned on, the Reader beeps once 

to let you know you have applied enough blood . 

Note: 

See test strip instructions for use for 

re-application instructions .
