the blood into the test strip, much like a straw,

when the tip touches the blood sample. Blood

should be applied only on the very tip. Blood

applied to the bottom or sides of the test strip

may cause inaccurate readings. It is important that

the test strip does not bend at all when applying

the sample.

Tip Three —Using a Sideways Approach

When testing, it may be helpful to hold the meter

on one side rather than at or face up. In this

position, the test strip sticks out of one end and

the side with the buttons faces towards you.

The idea here is that the nger can be brought to

the test strip from below until it touches the tip of

the test strip. Then, the meter can be repositioned

so the sample touches the absorbent opening

at the end of the test strip. Notice how the meter

can be positioned so that the test strip can be

sticking out to the left or to the right. This allows

for either hand to be used for testing.

Example

• Step 1—Gently milk the nger to bring blood

to the nger.

• Step 2—Puncture the nger.

• Step 3—Hold the meter in your hand. Place

your index nger under the test strip to help

you guide the meter to where you have

lanced.

• Step 4—Using overlapping dragging

motions in an upward direction, repeat the

motion around the puncture sight until you

hear the meter beep then say, “testing.”

• Step 5—Hold the test strip in place until you

hear the meter say your test results.

Tip Four —Practice, Practice, Practice

As with all new skills, practicing is the key to

feeling comfortable performing this new skill with

condence and ease. Don’t give up; remember

to practice, practice, practice. We suggest using

Prodigy

control solution when practicing.

Practice until, with relative ease, you can get a

test result that falls within the target range for the

Prodigy

control solution three (3) tests in a row.

It can be helpful to have someone with sight to

watch you practice in order to provide feedback

or to answer any questions you may have.
