Testing Your Blood
The following steps will show how to use the meter, test strips, lancing device and
sterile lancets together to measure your blood glucose concentration.
Step 1 – Getting a Drop of Blood
The On Call
®
Plus Blood Glucose Monitoring System requires a very small sample
of blood which may be obtained from the fingertip, palm (at base of the thumb) or
forearm. See page 20 for information on obtaining a blood sample from the palm or
forearm. Before testing, choose a clean, dry work surface. Familiarize yourself with
the procedure and make sure you have all the items needed to obtain a drop of blood.
IMPORTANT: Prior to testing, wipe the test site with an alcohol swab or soapy
water. Use warm water to increase blood flow if necessary. Then dry your hands
and the test site thoroughly. Make sure there is no cream or lotion on the test site.
