Tips for Testing
+
CONTOUR
®
NEXT ONE meter must be on during sync. Once you get BG reading, leave strip in the meter and sync
immediately (CONTOUR
®
NEXT ONE meter will remain on for 3 minutes)
+
Check your blood glucose as often as needed. You should check when you feel symptoms like weakness, headaches or
sweating; when you have delayed a meal after taking insulin; & when your healthcare provider advises you to do so
+
Clean your fingers properly by washing your hands with soap and warm water. Dry completely before testing. Residue on
your fingers can affect your blood glucose
+
Use a different finger each day or each time you test. Use the edges of your fingers. Take care not to get too close to the
cuticle. This allows the finger to heal with less pain/soreness
+
Make sure your test strips are stored in their closed original packaging and check the expiration date
+
Use a fresh lancet for each test - reusing lancets causes them to dull and will hurt more
