Blood Glucose Meter

Tip Three - Using a Sideways Approach
When testing, it may be helpful to hold the meter on one
side rather than at or face up. In this position, the test
strip sticks out of one end and the side with the buttons
faces towards you.
The idea here is that the nger can be brought to the
test strip from below until it touches the tip of the test
strip. Then, the meter can be repositioned so the sample
touches the absorbent opening at the end of the test
strip. Notice how the meter can be positioned so that
the test strip can point left or right. This allows for either
hand to be used for testing.
Example
• Step 1 - Gently massage the nger to bring blood to
the puncture site.
• Step 2 - Puncture the nger.
• Step 3 - Hold the meter in your hand. Place your in
-
dex nger under the test strip to help you guide the
meter to where you have lanced.
