Checking Your Blood Glucose
■ The Built-in FreeStyle® Blood Glucose Meter
With the FreeStyle® blood glucose meter, checking your blood
glucose requires a very small sample size, 0.3 microliter of blood.
Refer to your FreeStyle test strip instructions for use for impor-
tant test strip information.You may want to test for low blood
glucose:
• When you feel symptoms such as weakness, sweating,
nervousness, headache, or confusion
• When you have delayed a meal after taking insulin
• When your healthcare provider advises you to do so
Keep the system and the FreeStyle® accessories away
from young children, as they contain small parts that
may be dangerous if swallowed.
Only use FreeStyle® test strips and FreeStyle® control
solution with the System. Using other brands of test
strips and control solutions with the System can pro-
duce inaccurate results.
Never attempt to test your blood glucose while your
PDM is connected via USB cable to a computer.
Doing so could result in electrical shock.
This Device is intended for self-testing by the user.
Please read all the instructions provided in this User
Guide and practice the testing procedures before
using the system and FreeStyle® accessories. Follow
the guidance of a healthcare professional for proper
blood glucose monitoring.
