If it is a wimpy drop, stab again. I put the hole in the lancet holder over the drop to stab again close by.When the blood is sufficient, place the strip into the meter.Then we WAIT.When the meter has woken up  and done its start up routine it will show a drop of blood on the display - usually flashing. Apply the blood to the tip of the strip and watch it being sucked up. The meter will probably make its happy sound and then show a result in a few seconds.</blockquote>
