TESTING YOUR BLOOD GLUCOSE
Be sure to have these items ready when you test:
Gmate® VOICE Meter
Gmate® Test Strips
Lancing Device
Sterile Lancets
Important
Use only Gmate® Test Strips.
Make sure to wash the puncture site with soap and water before sampling.
Make sure the Gmate® VOICE meter and test strips are about the same temperature
(room temperature is best) before you test.
Immediately close the test strip vial after use to avoid contamination and damage.
Store unused test strips only in their original vial.
DO NOT open the test strip vial until you are ready to perform a test.
DO NOT return the used test strip to the vial after performing a test.
DO NOT re-use or share a test strip that had blood or control solution applied to it.
Test strips are for single use only.
Write the discard date, 3 months after first opening, on the test strip label.
Keep your meter and lancing device clean by following the cleaning and disinfection
protocol in this User Manual (see page 48).
