screen. This means you have enough blood

 

 

and the meter is reading your glucose.

•If after five seconds your meter does not show a short line moving around the display screen, the sample may be too small. You may add blood to the same edge of the test strip from which you started for up to 60 seconds from the time of the first application.

•The test result is complete when you hear

two beeps (if sound is turned on). Your blood glucose test result is shown on the display screen.

• The time that the meter takes depends on your blood glucose level. The higher your glucose level, the longer it takes to get a result. Results appear in an average of 7 seconds.

Important:

•Make sure the apply sample symbols show on the display (alternating test strip and blood sample).

•Use only one edge of the test strip per test.

•If blood is applied to both edges, you can get an inaccurate result.

•If you have performed a test using both edges of the test strip, repeat the blood glucose test using a new test strip and a fresh blood sample.
