Introduction
Why Regular Blood Glucose
Testing Is Important
Testing your blood glucose regularly can
make a big dierence in how you manage
your diabetes every day. We have made it
as simple as possible.
Important Information About Your
New Meter
• It is strongly recommended to have a
back-up testing method available. Failure
to test could cause a delay in therapy
decisions and lead to a serious medical
condition. Examples of back-up testing
methods include a back-up meter and
test strips. Ask your healthcare
professional or pharmacist about other
possible back-up methods.
• The meter may prompt you to choose a
language and the time format (12-hour
or 24-hour clock) the first time you turn it
on.
• Check the time and date on the meter
before you begin testing. Adjust the time
and date if necessary.
• Sample data screens are shown
throughout the manual. Your data will
dier.
• If you follow the steps in this manual but
still have symptoms that do not seem to
match your test results, or if you have
questions, talk to your healthcare
professional.
