Blood Glucose Monitoring

Can I use an expired test strip?

No, check the use by date  on the test strip container. Do not use test strips past the use by date. 

What happens if I do not apply enough blood on the test strip?

A ‘Drop Too Small’ (E4) error message will display on the meter, indicating not enough blood was drawn into the test strip for measurement or blood was applied after the test had started. You should discard the test strip and repeat the blood glucose test.

How much is the required blood sample size for a blood glucose test?

Only a tiny blood drop will do (0.6 microlitre).

How do I use Accu-Chek Guide to obtain a blood glucose result?
  1. Insert your test strip into the meter and it turns on automatically.
  2. Apply your blood sample to the easy to see yellow dosing area. Only 1 small drop is needed.
  3. In less than 4 seconds, your test results will appear in the easy to read display.
