How to Take

Wash hands, insert test strip, prick finger with lancing device, apply blood sample to strip, wait for reading. Refer to user manual for detailed instructions.

Mechanism of Action

The glucometer uses an electrochemical method. When a small blood sample is applied to a test strip, the glucose in the blood reacts with chemicals on the strip to produce an electrical current. The meter then measures this current and converts it into a blood glucose reading.
