Testing your blood glucose
Preparing for a blood glucose test
NOTE: Many people find it helpful to practise testing with
control solution before testing with blood for the first
time. See page 62.
Have these things ready when you test:
OneTouch Ultra Plus Flex ™ Meter
OneTouch Ultra
®
Plus Test Strips
Lancing device
Sterile lancets
3 Taking a test
NOTE:
• Use only OneTouch Ultra
®
Plus Test Strips.
• Unlike some blood glucose meters, no separate step
to code your OneTouch Ultra Plus Flex ™ System is
required.
• Testing must be done within operating temperature
range (6-44°C).
• Make sure your meter and test strips are about the
same temperature before you test.
• Keep test strips in a cool, dry place between 5°C
and 30°C.
