TIP:
• Gently massage your hand and finger toward the puncture site to form
a drop of blood (approximate size ). Do not “milk,” or squeeze around
the puncture site.
• Lance the side of your fingertip to avoid soreness. To avoid calluses,
choose a different lancing site each time.
For Testing on Palm and Forearm:
Hold the lancing device (use the wide tip adjustable
cap) against the test site (base of palm or forearm).
Avoid a test site that has veins, moles, excessive
hair, or bone.
Press the lancing device firmly against the test site
and press the release button, hold lancing device in
place.
