Checking Glucose with a Test Strip
Use your lancing device to obtain a blood drop and apply blood to the white area at the end of the test strip. Refer to your lancing device instructions for use if you need help using your lancing device. If sounds are turned on, the Reader beeps once to let you know you have applied enough blood.
You will see a butterfly on the screen while you wait for your result. Do not remove the test strip while the butterfly is on the screen. If sounds are turned on, the Reader beeps once when your result is ready.
If the butterfly does not appear, you may not have applied enough blood to the test strip. Apply a second drop of blood to the test strip within 5 seconds of the first drop. If the butterfly still does not appear or if more than 5 seconds have passed, discard the test strip. Turn off the Reader and repeat the steps in this section with a new test strip.
