Checking Blood Glucose with the Meter
Checking your blood glucose means using your Meter to measure
your glucose from a drop of blood from your fingertip. Results from
your Meter will be sent to the White Cap when the Meter is paired to it
and within communication range (within 20 feet). See the instructions
that came with your Meter for more details on how to use the lancing
device, the Meter and all safety information.
1.
Place a test strip into the Meter to turn it on and wait to be
prompted to apply the sample.
2.
Obtain a drop of blood from your fingertip using appropriate
lancing device and apply to the end of the strip.
3.
Turn the White Cap on by pressing the
button one time to display the Time Since
Last Dose screen and be prompted to
“Scan or check BG.”
4.
Wait for the blood glucose value to be sent to the White Cap.
• There are other situations when your Meter is not ready to
provide a glucose result or there is a problem with the Meter.
See
Chapter 10 - Troubleshooting
for more information about
these situations and what to do.
IMPORTANT:
Use the Meter that is paired with Bigfoot Unity
when checking blood glucose. If you use a different meter,
blood glucose values will not display on the White Cap.
Note:
If either the Meter or White Cap shuts off, press the button
one time to turn them on. Both must be on for the most recent
blood glucose value to be sent to the White Cap.
