With modern lifestyle changes, diabetes has become a common chronic disease. Sino blood glucose meter is a reliable device for measuring blood glucose levels in diabetic patients. However, it is very important to use a Sino blood glucose meter correctly. This article will introduce you to the correct use of Sino blood glucose meter.
Before you start using your Sinocare blood glucose meter, make sure your hands and meter are clean and hygienic. You'll need a battery and some test strips, which must match the model of the meter you're using. If you don't have the correct test strips, your blood glucose meter won't be able to properly measure your blood sugar levels.
The first step in testing blood sugar with a Sino blood glucose meter is to prepare a test strip. Remove the test strip from the test strip bottle and make sure it has not expired. Make sure the test strips are intact and have not been bent or damaged, and that they are within the recommended range for the duration of storage.
Before each use of the Sino blood glucose meter, please check the normal operation of the blood glucose meter. You can turn the meter on and check the battery level on the display. If the battery is too low, you need to replace the battery. Make sure the test strip is inserted into the slot of the meter so that you can put the test blood in the correct place.
Make sure your hands are clean and dry before collecting a blood sample. Wash your hands with water or soap and then dry them with a clean towel, as wet hands can affect the test results. Use a sterile cotton swab or medical alcohol to wipe the blood collection site and gently prick your finger. Place the blood on the test strip, taking care not to touch the port part of the test strip to avoid affecting the test results.
Insert the test strip into the slot of the meter and wait on the screen for the results to appear, which usually takes a few seconds to a few minutes. Do not remove the test strip from the slot or turn off the meter during the test. Make sure to wait for the test results to be completed before they appear.
Record your blood glucose test results and share them with your doctor. This helps to track the progress of diabetes, as well as manage the disease as needed.
Proper use of a Sino blood glucose meter is the best way to ensure that your blood glucose levels are accurately measured. To summarize the above steps, all you need to do is prepare the equipment you need, prepare the test strips, check the blood glucose meter, collect a blood sample, test your blood sugar levels, and record your test results. If you have any other questions about using the Sino Blood Glucose Meter, please consult your doctor or pharmacist for more help and information.
