TESTING YOUR BLOOD GLUCOSE
Wait for the confirmation window to fill completely
The blood drop will be drawn into the narrow channel and the confirmation window should fill
completely.
When the confirmation window is full, this means you
have applied enough blood. Now you can move the test
strip away from the blood drop and wait for the meter to
count down from 5 to 1.
Read your result on the meter
Your blood glucose level appears on the display, along with the unit of measure, and the date and time of
the test.
If mmol/L does not appear with the test result, contact Customer Care on 0800 121 200 (UK)
or 1800 535 676 (Ireland).
After getting a result
Once you have your result, you may:
• Attach a meal flag or fasting flag to this result, see Section 3, Attaching meal flags and fasting flags to your
test results
or,
• Review your meter memory by pressing , see Section 4, Reviewing past results and averages
or,
• Turn the meter off by removing the test strip.
Removing the used lancet
Remove the lancing device cap. Place the lancet protective cover on a hard surface and push the lancet
tip into the cover. Remove the lancet and place it in a container for sharp objects. Replace the lancing
device cap.
Disposing of the used lancet and test strip
It is important to discard the used lancet carefully after each use to avoid unintended lancet stick injuries.
Used test strips and lancets may be considered biohazardous waste in your area. Be sure to follow your
healthcare professional’s recommendations or local regulations for proper disposal.
