Testing Your Blood
The following steps show how to use the meter, test strips, lancing
device and sterile lancets together to measure your blood glucose
concentration.
The Blood Glucose Monitoring System requires a very
small sample of blood which may be obtained from the fingertip, palm
(at the 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.
