Important Things to Know:
WARNING: ALWAYS TEST WITH THE METER
RIGHT SIDE UP AS SHOWN.
Testing with your
meter upside down
will change how
you see your
results!
Never
test when your meter is upside down or if your
meter is connected to a Nintendo DS/DS Lite gaming
system or your PC. If your meter is connected to your
gaming system or your PC when your test reminder
sounds or you insert a test strip, you will see
on your
meter display. Remove your meter from the gaming
system or your PC before testing your blood sugar.
Remember that the test result icon
should look like this:
Do not share your meter.
Your doctor or diabetes
care nurse prescribed the DIDGET meter especially
for you. It is not safe to let others use your meter
because they could accidentally get blood on it.
Also, the results stored in your meter need to come
from you. The doctor or diabetes care nurse needs
your
results to help you manage your diabetes.
Testing is not a game.
Your meter is a powerful
tool to help you manage your diabetes. Test
according to the plan that your doctor or diabetes
care nurse set up for you. You will earn the most
points for testing four times a day every day.
Wash and dry your hands completely
before handling the test strips.
Always keep the test strips in the original
bottle. Tightly close the bottle immediately
after removing a test strip.
The bottle is made
to keep the test strips dry. Exposure to room
humidity can damage your test strips.
Do not drop blood directly on the flat surface
of the test strip.
Your test strip is designed to pull
the blood into the sample tip.
Do not press the test strip against your finger
when testing.
This may block the sample tip.
Test strips are for single use only.
Do not use a test strip that appears damaged
or has been used.
Let the meter and test strips adjust to the
temperature of the location where you are
testing.
Whenever the meter is moved from one
location to another, allow about 20 minutes for
the meter to adjust to the temperature of that
new location before testing. The meter and test
strips are designed to give accurate results at
temperatures between 41ºF and 113ºF.
Check the expiration dates on your test
strips and control solution.
Do not use the
test strips or control solution if the expiration date
printed on the bottle label and carton has passed.
