Doing a Daily Check
Look through the small hole in the test strip holder to make sure there is no lint, dirt, or blood blocking it.
If there is anything blocking the hole, or if the test area has dirt, lint, or blood on it, remove the test strip holder and clean the test area by following the instructions in the next section. Then do a check strip test (see page 12).
