Taking a test
Testing your blood glucose
NOTE: Many people find it helpful to practice testing
with control solution before testing with blood for the
first time. See Testing with control solution, pages 45–52.
Preparing for a test
Have these things ready when you test:
OneTouch® Verio™IQ Meter
OneTouch® Verio™ Test Strips
Lancing device
Sterile lancets
• Use only OneTouch® Verio™ Test Strips.
• Unlike some blood glucose meters, no separate step to
code your OneTouch® Verio™IQ System is required.
• Make sure your meter and test strips are about the same
temperature before you test.
• Do Not test if there is condensation (water build-up) on
your meter. Move your meter and test strips to a cool,
dry spot and wait for the meter surface to dry before
testing.
• Tightly close the cap on the vial immediately after use to
avoid contamination and damage.
• Store unused test strips only in their original vial.
