Proper Test Strip Appearance

Although only a small amount of blood is needed, it is very important that you put enough blood on your test strip so that the entire yellow window is filled with blood. This ensures that your meter can produce accurate and reliable results.

This strip has the correct amount of blood.

Notice that the left side of the yellow window is not completely filled with blood. This strip has too little blood and may produce an error message (or an inaccurate result).

Very small amounts of blood may give you an error message or an inaccurate result (see Error Messages on page 39). Repeat the test.

This error display may appear at the end of the test and you will not get a blood glucose result. Remove test strip and retest with a new strip using a larger drop of blood.
