Performing a Blood Glucose Test
IMPORTANT:
• Check the expiration date printed on the test strip bottle and its
package. Do not use expired test strips.
• Use each test strip immediately after removing it from the bottle.
• Do not use wet or damaged test strips.
• Keep away from direct sunlight and heat. Store the test strip bottle
in a dry, cool place.
• Record the "date opened" on the bottle label. Discard the bottle and
any remaining test strip after 6 months from date of opening.
