How to Test
- Use your lancet device and prick a freshly cleaned and dry area of your fingertip, then ensure you get a blood droplet about half the size of a matchstick head. Use the second or third droplet of blood for your measurement, to ensure no interstitial fluid is mixed with your blood, which can skew results
- With the meter turned off, insert the strip into your meter
- Bring the tip of the strip to the blood droplet on your finger; on contact, it will draw in the blood via capillary action. Hold the tip of the test strip in the blood droplet until the meter beeps and starts counting down. Glucose will count down from 5 seconds and you’ll get a reading. Please do not touch the test strip during the countdown as this may result in an error
- Immediately discard the glucose strip using the easy eject button on the back of the meter
- Insert the ketone strip into the meter and bring the tip of the strip to your blood droplet. Hold it there until the meter beeps. The meter will start counting down from 9 seconds, then give you your results
- Discard the ketone strip using the eject button on the back of the meter
- You have 3 minutes to get your readings before the meter will shut off
- The test result will automatically be stored in the meter memory
