Testing blood glucose

Notes

Use a new lancet each time you obtain blood. This not only

reduces the risk of infection but also helps ensure virtually pain-

free blood sampling.

Do not prime the finger pricker until you are ready to collect

blood. Keeping the finger pricker in this primed state can cause

parts to become misshapen through tension, impairing its opera-

tion.

The amount of blood that emerges at the puncture site depends

on the penetration setting and the pressure used to hold the fin-

ger pricker against the skin. If the amount of blood you obtain is

too small, try again, applying more pressure this time. If you still

obtain insufficient blood, repeat the procedure with progressively

deeper settings. If too much blood emerges, reduce the penetra-

tion depth.

 Firmly press the finger pricker against the chosen puncture site.

You will feel the slightly raised ring against your skin. This is the pin-

hole through which the tip of the lancet emerges.

 Press the plunger all the way down.

This triggers the lancet, which penetrates the skin.

 Using gentle pressure, massage the finger towards the fingertip to

encourage a drop of blood to form.
