If you remove the test strip before this step, you will still see
the available soft keys.
■ Performing a Blood Glucose Reading
Figure 7-9 on the following page shows the parts of the Free-
Style® lancing device.
You can select a maximum of 2 tags.
If the suggested bolus calculator feature is turned Off,
the Bolus soft key appears instead of Next.
If you mark a test as a control solution test by mistake,
you can unmark it: Press Tag, select Control, then
press Clear.
Be sure to discard used test strips. (You can only use
test strips once.)
To ensure accurate results, wash your hands and the
test site (for example, your upper arm) with soap and
water. Do not leave any cream or lotion on the test
site. Thoroughly dry your hands and the test site.
