Steps for Testing:

1. Prepare Your Kit – Gather your glucose meter, test strip, lancing device, and cotton wool.
2. Clean Your Hands – Wash and dry your hands to prevent external sugars from affecting the reading.
3. Obtain a Blood Sample – Prick your finger with the lancing device and apply a drop of blood to the test strip.
4. Record the Result – Insert the test strip into the meter to measure your blood sugar level.
5. Stop Bleeding – Use cotton wool to dab away any excess blood.

Best Practices for Testing:

• Link testing times to daily routines to make it a habit.
• Check your blood sugar before meals, after exercise, and before bed.
• Fasting readings (before eating) provide the most accurate results.
• If you forget to test before a meal, wait at least two hours after eating for a reliable reading.
