Blood Glucose Meter.
Run a control solution test every time you open a new box of test strips (See Chapter 2
"Control Solution Testing.")
Keep the test strips in their original bottle.
Close the bottle tightly right away, after you take a test strip out. This keeps the test strip dry.
Use the test strip within three minutes after you take it out of the bottle.
The strip is for single use only. Do not reuse it.
Record the date you open the test strip bottle. Be sure to check the “Expiration date” on the test
strip bottle. The test strip is good for three months from the date the bottle is opened or until the
expiration date on the bottle, whichever comes first.
Store the test strip bottle and your meter in a cool dry place.
Store the test strips between 2

Do not apply blood or control solution to the test strip until you insert it into the meter.
