CHAPTER 4
TESTING YOUR BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVEL
The Dario LC Glucose Meter measures the amount of glucose in your blood.
Once you place a small drop of blood from your fingertip onto the test strip,
the result will display in six (6) seconds on the screen in the Dario App.
Carefully read and follow the instructions provided in this chapter and in the
package inserts for the test strips and control solutions. It is very important to
follow the instructions to prevent an incorrect result or improper treatment.
Do not put any fluids into the test strip port.
Once you start the Dario App, follow the prompts on the screen.
Blood Glucose Testing Precautions
The meter, test strips, and control solutions are only intended
for use outside the body (in vitro). Do not eat the test strips. Do
not swallow or inject control solutions, or use control solutions
for any purpose other than testing your blood glucose.
