Frequently Asked Questions 2
What do I do first?
If needed, install batteries and set the time — test the Meter electronics with a Check Strip — code the Meter to match Ascensia ELITE Test Strips — and then run a control test to test the whole system before running a blood glucose test.
What does blood glucose monitoring do for me? Blood glucose levels change during the day due to medication, exercise, diet, insulins or hypoglycemics (oral agents) or possibly stress and illness. Blood glucose testing provides information that will help you understand the changes. This information can help you manage your diabetes to keep your blood sugar levels within your target range.
