Recording Your Results
Always record your blood sugar results after testing. This will help you and your healthcare professional find
patterns in your blood sugar results. This information will help you better manage your diabetes, reducing
your chances for complications. Record your results in the self-test diary included in your kit, the meter’s
memory, or on your computer.
Storing Your Supplies
Keep the test drum vial tightly closed until you install the drum in the meter. Make sure you close the control
solution bottles tightly after each use.
You can keep all your testing supplies in the carrying case. Store the carrying case (and everything in it)
where it won’t be exposed to heat or moisture. Your bedroom may be a good place.
