Testing blood glucose3
3.2 Performing a blood glucose test
When you have inserted a lancet drum into the lancing
device and set the penetration depth, you can now
start to perform a blood glucose test.
There are two ways of starting a blood glucose test.
You can open the tip cover (with the meter on or off).
You can turn on the meter using the
button
and select Test in the Main menu.
After performing the test, you can ag the result if the
test was performed under special conditions and you
want to record this.
Notes
Incorrect results may cause the wrong therapy
recommendation to be made and thus produce
adverse health effects.
Therefore, refer to the following notes:
Before you start the test, wash your hands with
warm water and soap and dry them well. This helps
remove any residues from the skin, e.g. from food,
drinks or skin cream, which can disturb the test
result. This also stimulates blood ow and reduces
contamination of the puncture site.
