Testing blood glucose

The cap must be on the finger pricker when you
obtain blood. Without the cap, the lancet would
penetrate too deeply and you would feel more
discomfort than necessary.
2 Press the finger pricker firmly against the chosen
puncture site.
You will feel a slightly raised ring against your skin; this
is the pin-hole through which the tip of the lancet
emerges.
3 Press the multifunction button all the way down.
This triggers the lancet, which penetrates the skin to
the penetration depth set.
4 If necessary, gently massage the finger in the
direction of the fingertip to encourage a blood drop
to form.
