5.1 Preparing to test blood glucose
You need the following items to carry out the test:
your meter with the code chip inserted
the pack of Accu-Chek Active test strips that
belong to the code chip
a lancing device to collect blood
a lancet for the lancing device
1
Read the package insert which came with the
test strips.
2
Wash your hands with warm water and soap,
and dry them well before you start to perform
the test.
This helps remove any residues from the skin (e.g.
from food, drinks or skin cream) which can disturb
the test. This also stimulates blood flow and reduces
contamination of the puncture site.
3
Prepare your lancing device to collect blood.
