TESTING YOUR BLOOD GLUCOSE

 Testing your blood glucose

 CAUTION:

 To reduce the chance of infection:

•   Make sure to wash the puncture site with soap and water  

before sampling.

•   Never share a lancet or a lancing device with anyone.

•   Always use a new, sterile lancet—lancets are for single use only.
•   Keep your meter and lancing device clean. See 

Caring for your 

system

 in Section 6.

NOTE:

 If you do not have a lancing device, please refer to the instructions that came with your lancing device.
