Chapter 3: Testing Your Blood Glucose Using The Lancing Device The best depth setting is the lowest number that draws enough blood for a test. Try different settings to find the one that’s right for you. Please do not share your lancing device with anyone. And always use a new, sterile lancet. Lancets are for one time use only. Note: Used test strips and lancets are considered bio-hazardous waste in accordance with U.S. local regulations and should be handled as if capable of transmitting infection.
Inserting A Lancet Into The Lancing Device You must first load the lancet into the lancing device to get it ready for use. 1. Take the cap off. 2. Insert the lancet into the lancing device firmly then twist off the protective cover. 3. Recap the front cap.
4. Select the desired penetration depth. 5. Pull on the sliding barrel of the lancing device until it clicks and then release. Now the lancing device is ready. Do not prick your finger until your meter and strip are prepared. 6. Set the lancing device aside until later in the test. Note: Select 1-3 for soft or thin skin, 4-5 for average, and 6-8 for thick or calloused skin.
Running A Blood Glucose Test With Blood From Your Fingertip 1. Wash your hands with soap and warm water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. 2. Put a test strip into the meter in the direction of the arrow. The meter turns on. Note: If a flag icon of “ ” is set, press “X” for 1 seconds to cancel the setting of control solution test. 3. Swab the blood collection area on your finger with an alcohol swab. Please wait at least 5 seconds until the intended area is dry and clean before sampling the blood. 4.
5. When the blood drop flashes on the display, obtain a drop of blood from your fingertip. 6. Gently squeeze your finger to assist the flow of blood. This helps you get a blood drop. Touch the drop to the tip of the transparent window of the test strip. Do not put blood on top of the strip. Be sure to get enough blood on the strip’s reaction zone. Otherwise, an inaccurate reading may result. 7. The meter will beep when enough blood has entered the strip’s reaction zone.
Alternative Site Testing (AST) Understanding Alternative Site Testing What is AST? Besides the fingertip, you can test the forearm. What is the advantage of AST? You have the option of testing other places on your body besides the fingertip. Consult your health care professional before you begin using the forearm for testing. Blood glucose test results obtained from your forearm may differ significantly from fingertip samples.
Fingertip test only: If sick If blood glucose is low After exercising Two hours or less after eating When basal insulin is most active What After NOT injecting to do: rapid-acting insulin (two hours or less) If the blood glucose test result does not match how you feel, do a fingertip test to confirm the result again. Do NOT change your treatment just because of an alternate site result, do a fingertip test to confirm the result.
Running A Blood Glucose Test With Blood From Your Forearm 1. Massage the puncture area of forearm for a few seconds. 2. Change the gray cap into limpid cap for AST testing. 3. Press and hold the device with one clear adjustable tip against the forearm. 4. Press the trigger button to activate the lancing device.
Discarding Used Lancets 1. Take the adjustable cap off. Without touching the used lancet, stick the lancet tip into its protective cover. Grip the lancet carrier firmly and pull the lancet safely out. 2. Discard the used disposable lancet into a container for sharp or biohazard material.
Expected Values The EasyPlus mini R2N Blood Glucose test strips are whole-blood referenced and calibrated for easier comparison to lab results. The normal fasting blood glucose range for an adult without diabetes is 70~110 mg/dL. Two hours after meals, the blood glucose range for an adult without diabetes is less than 120 mg/dL. For people with diabetes: please consult your doctor for the blood glucose range appropriate for you.
Symptoms Of High Or Low Blood Glucose Being aware of the symptoms of high or low blood glucose can help you understand your test results and decide what to do if they seem unusual. Here are the most common symptoms: 1 Below 60 mg/dL 2 Greater than 240 mg/dL What It Means: The test result is higher than reference range. (70~110mg/dL) What It Means: The test result is lower than reference range.
Comparing Your Meter Result To A Lab Result The meter is equivalent to whole blood (as noted on the page 31 of the user’s manual). A common question is how the blood glucose results on your meter compare to the lab results. Your blood glucose can change quickly, especially after eating, taking medication, or exercising. If you test yourself in the morning, then go to the doctor’s office for a blood glucose test. The results will probably not match, even if you are fasting.
Chapter 4: Meter Memory, Setup Memory, Storing Test Results Your meter stores a maximum of 480 test results with the time and date of the test. You can review them at any time. When the memory is full, the oldest result is dropped as the newest is added, so it is very important to have the correct time and date set in the meter. Note: 1. Do not change your therapy based on one individual result in memory. 2. The memory is not lost when you replace the battery.
Viewing Test Results 1. Press “X” to view the last test result. 2. Press “W” to view the previous results in order from the latest to the earliest. 3. Press “X” once again to view averages of 7-day test result. 4. Press “W” to review averages of 14-day, 30-day and 90-day test results. 5. Press “X” to be back to the testing mode of flashing strip.
Setting The Alarm The meter can set up to 4 alarms, allowing you to control your test times according to your requirements. 1. Press “X” for 5 seconds and enter the setting mode of alarm. 2. Press “W” to set “On” for the first alarm. 3. Press “W” to adjust time and press ” X” to confirm the setting (24-hour clock). 4. Press “X” to confirm the first 5. Repeat step 1 to 4 to set other 3 alarm. If you don’t want to setting and then get into the turn on the alarm at all, turn second one.
Chapter 5: Maintenance and Troubleshooting Installing Batteries The meter uses two batteries of CR2032 Lithium Cell 3V. Batteries will normally last for over 2000 tests. Other types of CR2032 Cell 3V batteries are also acceptable, yet the capacity of test times may differ. Install the batteries when you first use the meter or replace with new batteries when the "LP" message and the low battery symbol appear on the display. Low battery symbol Note: 1.
