Testing Your Blood Glucose
Wash and dry your hands fist before starting.
To test your blood
glucose, you will need: the monitor, test strips, the lancing device, and
lancets.
Step 1 Set the lancing device
Remove the cap of the lancing device.
Insert a lancet into the lancet holder
and push down firmly until it is fully
seated.
Twist the protective disk until it sepa -
rates from the lancet.
Replace and screw the lancing device
cap until it is snug but not too tight. Ad-
just depth of penetration: 1-2 for soft
or thin skin, 3 for average skin, 4-5 for
thick or calloused skin.
For AST, use
clear cap instead of lancing device
cap to get a drop of blood easily.
Slide the ejection/cocking control back
until it clicks. If it does not click, the
lancing device may have been cocked
when the lancet was inserted.
To reduce the chance of infection:
Never share a lancet or the lancing device with anyone.
Always use a new, sterile lancet. Lancets are for single use only.
Avoid getting hand lotion, oils, dirt, or debris in or on the lancets and
the lancing device.
Warning!
