Testing Your Blood Glucose
You will need:
• Your GLUCOCARD Expression meter
• A new GLUCOCARD Expression test strip
• Lancing device with a clean, unused lancet (or safety lancets)
• Wide tip (lancing device) for Alternate Site Testing (AST) on palm and
forearm
Before you begin, make sure:
• The meter has been set up properly and you’ve completed a control test.
See Setting Up Your GLUCOCARD Expression System on page 16, and
Control Solution Testing on page 33 for details.
• Wash your hands and the testing site thoroughly with soap and warm
water, dry well.
• You are testing in an area between the temperature ranges of 50˚F~104˚F.
NOTE: Your meter will not test outside of this range and will display a
thermometer icon with verbal indication if the voice feature is turned on.
Move the meter into an area that is between 50˚F~104˚F, and let sit for
10 to 15 minutes before testing again.
