The test strip pulls the blood into the strip through the sides
(Figure 7-20).
1. Do not pull the test strip away from the sample until you hear
1 beep or see the countdown screen on the screen (Figure 7-
21 on the next page). This means you applied enough blood
and the meter is reading your glucose.
