Testing Your Blood Glucose
NOTE:
• For fingertip testing, use the opaque adjustable cap.
• For alternate site testing on palm and forearm, use the
clear adjustable cap.
Step 3:
Adjust the depth setting on the adjustable cap
for the puncture depth level (1 is the lightest and
5 is the deepest).
To select the best depth:
1-2 for soft skin
3 for average skin
4-5 for thick or calloused skin
Step 4:
With one hand holding the adjustable cap, pull
back the sliding barrel back with your other
hand until you hear a click sound. The lancing
device is now ready for blood sampling.
IMPORTANT:
Use a new sterile lancet every time you test to avoid cross
contamination. If alcohol wipes are used to cleanse the fingers,
↓
make sure the area is dry before the blood sample is obtained.
