Taking Your Blood Glucose Reading

Be sure to read this section and any inserts found in the test strip box carefully before taking a

reading. Wash and dry your hands before starting.

GETTING A DROP OF BLOOD

Step 1. Insert a Lancet in the

Adjustable Lancing Device

Twist the lancing device cap to remove it. Insert a

lancet into the lancet holder and push down firmly until

it is fully seated. Do not twist the lancet.

Twist the protective disk until it separates from the

lancet.

WARNING! To reduce the chance of infection:

• Never share a lancet or the lancing device with anyone.

• Always use a new, sterile lancet. Lancets are for single use only.

• Avoid getting hand lotion, oils, or debris in or on the lancets and the lancing de vice.

Replace and screw the lancing device cap until it is

snug but not too tight.

The adjustable tip offers 5 levels of skin penetration. To

select the desired depth, twist the adjustable tip in

either direction until the number lines up with the

Arrow. To select the best depth: 1-2 for soft or thin

skin, 3 for average skin, 4-5 for thick or calloused skin.
