Prepare your lancing device

Before you check your blood sugar, let’s get everything ready.

Use warm soapy water. Rinse and dry completely. Contaminants on the skin may affect readings.

Prep your lancing device

Be sure to use a new lancet for each reading.

Replace lancing device cap

Adjust lancet depth

1 is the most shallow setting, 7 is the deepest. You may want to turn the green wheel to 4 for your first test. Then adjust in half setting increments from there.

Cock device

Pull slider until it clicks. If it doesn’t, it’s probably already cocked.

Check your blood sugar

Before checking your blood sugar, read the steps below.

Use a new test strip

Remove a new test strip from the test strip vial, and tightly re-close the vial cap immediately to protect the remaining strips.

Hold your meter with the screen facing you. Gently insert the strip with the blue side facing you and the two prongs pointing down.

You’ll see a flashing drop on the meter screen indicating the test strip has been inserted correctly and is ready to receive a sample.

Lance finger

Massage your finger to get the blood flowing. Then lance the side of your fingertip by pressing the green button.

Form a round drop of blood

Squeeze your fingertip so the blood drop forms. Be sure to get a large enough drop to help prevent an error in your reading. If it smears, runs or dries, lance a new location.

Apply blood drop to side channel of Ultra Plus test strip

Apply to test strip

Apply blood drop to the visible channel on either side of the test strip, NOT the top.

IMPORTANT: After you insert the test strip, you have 2 minutes to apply the blood before your meter will automatically turn off. If this happens, press and hold the OK button to turn it back on and wait for the flashing drop to reappear before applying blood to the strip.
