1. Before testing. Compare the confirmation dot on the back of the new test strip to the shade marked unused on the chart.

Do not use the test strip if the confirmation dot is darker than the color of an unused test strip on the Color Chart.

2. After testing. Directly after read- ing a meter result, you can com- pare the color of the test strip con- firmation dot with the colors on the chart. The color of the confir- mation dot will either match one of the colors on the chart or fall between two colors. When the color of the blue dot falls between two colors, your blood glucose

level is between the values printed next to the two colors. This compar- ison will give you a rough estimate of your blood glucose level.

Note: If your Color Chart reading and meter result do not agree and do not reflect how you feel, follow the testing tips for accuracy on pages 38–39. Do not use the Color Chart with control solution tests.
