Re: Free Montitor
Hi Gratope there is a knack to using a bg meter but you will soon get the hang of it. A few tips.
Wash hands in warm water before test.
Prick side of finger just away from the nail, not the pad or it might stop you typing a post to the forum
Gently squeeze finger tip to encourage a small blob of blood, just gently though, if not enough blood is there you may need to adjust the depth of your finger pricker.
Aim for a 'drop' not a smear.
Insert test strip in meter and when 'On' offer tip of strip to blood and let the strip absorb the blood up into test area, dont wipe the test strip onto the blood.
Make sure blood covers the whole of the test strip test area and you should get a good reading.
No more errors
