After a beep, you will see the 
meter count down 5 seconds 
and your blood test result is 
displayed and automatically 
stored in the meter memory. 
Please do not touch the test 
strip during the countdown as 
this may result in an error. 

6. 

Remove the test strip to 
turn your meter off. Dispose 
of the used test strip as 
medical waste.

Always wash your hands 
well with soap and water 
before and after testing,

Expected Values

Blood glucose values will vary depending on food 
intake, medication dosages, health, stress, or activity. 
Non diabetic plasma glucose concentrations are 
normally maintained within a relatively narrow range, 
roughly 70 - 110 mg/dL in a fasting state.

You should 

consult with your health care professional for 
glucose values specific to your needs.
