Checking Your Blood Glucose

Fill the blood glucose test strip with blood
1. Make sure that the strip is in the PDM and the PDM is pow-
ered on. If the PDM has powered off, take out the strip and
reinsert it (Figure 7-26), or simply press and hold the
Power
button to turn on the PDM.
2. Bring the strip to the blood sample at a slight angle
(Figure 7-27).
If you do not apply the sample within 10 seconds, the strip-
port light turns off. To turn it on again, press
Light
.
Use only one edge of the blood glucose test strip per test. Do
not apply blood to both edges (Figure 7-28). Only use strips
once. Discard used strips.
The strip acts like a sponge and pulls the blood into the strip
through the edge (Figure 7-29).
Avoid lancing areas with obvious veins or moles,
to avoid excess bleeding. Also avoid lancing
areas where tendons or bones stick out (for
example, hand bones and ankle bones).
