TESTING YOUR BLOOD GLUCOSE
Read your result on the meter
Your blood glucose level appears on the display, along with the unit of measure, and the date and time of the test.
Blood glucose results are automatically stored in the meter’s memory.
Error messages
If you get an ERROR message on your screen rather than a result, see Troubleshooting in Section 8.
After getting a result
Once you have read your result, you may:
• Attach a meal ag to this result if the meal ags feature is on, see Section 4, Attaching meal ags to your results, or
• Review your meter memory by pressing
to go to MAIN MENU, see Section 5, Reviewing past results and averages, or
• Turn the meter o by removing the test strip.
Removing the used lancet
Remove the lancing device cap. Place the lancet protective cover on a hard surface and push the
lancet tip into the cover. Remove the lancet and place it in a container for sharp objects. Replace the
lancing device cap.
Disposing of the used lancet and test strip
It is important to discard the used lancet carefully after each use to avoid unintended lancet stick injuries.
Used test strips and lancets may be considered biohazardous waste in your area. Be sure to follow your health
care professional’s recommendations or local regulations for proper disposal.
(Example)
CAUTION: If you test at the low end of the operating range (10°C) and your glucose is high (over
180mg/dL), the reading on your meter may be lower than your actual glucose. In this situation, repeat
the test in a warmer environment with a new test strip as soon as possible.
WARNING: If mg/dL does not appear with the test result, contact Customer Service.
Use of the wrong unit of measure may cause you to misinterpret your blood glucose level,
and may lead to incorrect treatment.
