Why Regular Blood Glucose Testing Is Important
Testing your blood glucose regularly can make a big difference in how you manage your diabetes every day.
Discussing your results with your healthcare professionals and following their advice about medicine,
exercise, and food plans can help you better control your diabetes.
Important Information About Your New Meter
• The meter is designed for testing fresh whole blood samples (for example, blood from your fingertip).
The meter is for outside the body (in vitro) use. It should not be used to diagnose diabetes.
• This meter requires ACCU-CHEK Aviva Plus test strips. Other test strips will give inaccurate results.
• The meter comes with the time and date preset. You may need to change the time to your time zone.
• If you have followed the steps in this booklet but still have symptoms that do not seem to match your test
results, or if you have questions, talk to your healthcare professional.
• The ACCU-CHEK Aviva Combo system is intended for single patient use and should not be shared.
