  If the Fora Blood Glucose Meter doesn't start after you apply the sample, it might be due to several reasons: * **Insufficient blood sample:** Use a new test strip and apply a larger volume of blood. * **Defective test strip:** Try repeating the test using a new test strip. * **Sample applied after auto switch-off:** Ensure you apply the sample while the flashing symbol is on the display, using a new test strip. * **Defective meter:** In this case, please contact customer services.
