CHAPTER 3 :
Testing Your Blood Glucose
1. Getting a Drop of Blood
1)
Wash your hands in warm, soapy water. Rinse well and
dry completely. Warming fingers can increase blood
flow.
2)
Turn the lancet insert cap counterclockwise to remove
it, insert the lancet into the lancing device holder and
push down firmly until it is fully seated. Twist the lancet
protective disk until it separates from the lancet.
3)
Replace the cap and turn it clockwise, until it is snug.
Adjust the puncture depth setting by turning the
comfort dial. The dial has 1 to 5 steps, and the higher
the step number, the stronger the blood sampling
pressure on the puncture site.
The comport tip offers 5 different levels of skin
penetration.

1-2 : for soft or thin skin
