Before you check your blood sugar, let’s get everything ready.
Wash hands
Use soap and water to remove any sugar on your fingertips.
Prep your lancing device
Be sure to use a new lancet for each reading.
Remove lancing device cap
Lightly twist the cap at the end of the lancing device and pull it straight off.
Insert lancet and remove protective cover
Push in a new lancet and twist to remove the protective cover. Save the cover for later.
Replace lancing device cap
Place the white cap back on the lancing device.
Adjust lancet depth
1 is the most shallow setting, 7 is the deepest. You may want to turn the green wheel to 4 for your first test. Then adjust in half setting increments from there.
Cock device
Pull slider until it clicks. If it doesn’t, it’s probably already cocked.

Before checking your blood sugar, read the steps below.
Code your meter.
Code your meter to ensure accurate readings. Start by checking the code on the test strip vial.
Use a new test strip
Remove a new test strip from the test strip vial, and tightly re-close the vial cap immediately to protect the remaining strips.
Insert test strip
Hold your meter with the screen facing you. Gently insert the strip with the blue side facing you and the three silver strips at the bottom.
The code “25” will appear on your meter screen.
Match the code on the meter with the code on the test strip vial.
If the codes do NOT match, press the up or down button to match the code number on the test strip vial. The new code number will flash on the display for three seconds and advance to the APPLY BLOOD screen.
If the codes match, the display will automatically advance to the APPLY BLOOD screen.
You’re ready to check!
Your meter is ready when the APPLY BLOOD screen appears.
Lance finger
Massage your finger to get the blood flowing. Then lance the side of your fingertip by pressing the green button.
Form a round drop of blood
Squeeze your fingertip so the blood drop forms. Be sure to get a large enough drop to help prevent an error in your reading. If it smears, runs or dries, lance a new location.
Apply to test strip.
Line up the tip of test strip with the blood drop. Gently touch the channel to the edge of the blood drop.
IMPORTANT: After you inserted the test strip, you have 2 minutes to apply the blood before your meter will automatically turn off.
If this happens, remove the strip and re-insert it. Wait for the APPLY BLOOD screen to appear before applying blood to the strip.
View results.
A 5-second countdown will begin.
Your blood glucose level appears on the display, along with the unit of measure, and the date and time of the test. Results are automatically stored in the meter’s memory.
Get an error code (ER)?
Don’t worry! Follow the instructions on the display, or click the button to see more.
SEE ERROR CODES
Flag your result (optional).
If you turned on flags when you set up your meter, you can add additional information to each reading.
Press the up button to add a meal flag and choose before or after meal. Press OK to confirm.
Then press the down button to add a comment, make your selection, and press OK to confirm.
Your flags have now been added to your result and will appear above and/or below your result.
Remove used lancet
To safely remove the lancet, remove the lancing device cap and place the protective lancet cover flat on a hard surface. Push the lancet tip into the side of the cover.
Eject the lancet
Push the slider forward to eject the used lancet.
