Taking a test
• When you first open a vial of test strips, record the
discard date on the label. Refer to the test strip insert
or vial label for instructions on determining the
discard date.
• Comparing your blood glucose test results taken with
this meter to your results taken from a different meter
is not recommended. Results may differ between
meters and are not a useful measure of whether
your meter is working properly. To check your meter
accuracy, you should periodically compare your meter
results to those obtained from a lab. See page152
for more information.
IMPORTANT: If another person assists you with testing,
the meter should always be cleaned prior to use by that
person. See page132.

Monitoring System should not be used for patients
within 24 hours of receiving a D-xylose absorption test
as it may cause inaccurately high results.
