1. Firstly wash your hands with soap and warm water. Make sure you don't use wet wipes as it can affect the result next, take your testing strip and slot it into the end of the meter.
2. This should turn it on. Once your meter is ready,
it's time to prepare your lancing device. Each one works a little differently,
but the principle remains the same. Take the lid off to your lancing device.
Take your Lancet and slot it in. Remove the
protective cover, and then pop the lid back on. You can select the depth of the
puncture. And, finally, set the device by pulling the plunger now you need to
choose which finger to prick. So, avoiding your thumb and your index finger,
you want to use a different finger every time.
3. Take your lancet holder and hold it to the side of
your finger, avoiding the pad and the nail A drop of blood should appear, but
if it doesn't, that's fine, just squeeze it gently until some blood appears.
Then you want to take your testing meter, take the blood and press it against
the strip until your meters ready.
4.Then, just stop any bleeding taking a tissue, and
just hold it until the bleeding stops now it's time to record your blood sugar
level. You can use a diary your phone or a laptop, whatever works best for you.
It's just important that you date and record every single reading that you get finally,
use a tissue to remove the test strip from the meter, which usually turns it
off.
Just like a testing strip, a lancet can only be used
once, so take the lid off your lancing device and remove your lancet. You can
then throw both your lancet and the testing strip into your sharps bin. So
remember check your kit, wash your hands, choose which finger to test, wait for
your meter to be ready, clean up and write it down.
