■Remove the test strip from the meter and look at the test spot. It should still have a wet, shiny drop that completely covers the test spot. If the blood sample has a dull, dry appearance, you may not have applied enough blood, or you may have smeared it.
■Look at the back of the test strip. You should see a full, dark circle.
If there are any white patches or |
| |
streaks, you may have smeared the |
| |
blood or the drop was too small. In |
| |
either case, you may have a false | TESTING | |
low result. Repeat the test with a | ||
|
new test strip.
(Example — Not enough blood applied)
