Taking a Reading

Tap the Contour Next One that is listed.
Select your meal information and insert your test strip into the glucometer.
When ready to test, press “Take Reading.”

Once done, you will see your reading on your smartphone. You can enter a note (if needed.) To leave this screen press “Open Health Data” or “< Back”
Tips for Taking a Reading
Wash your hands using warm water before you test to prevent infection.
Let your hand hang down and shake it. This will help blood flow to your hand.
Pierce your fingertip on the side of your finger, between the bottom of your fingernail to the tip of your nail (avoid the pads as this can pinch more).
After taking a test strip out, close the lid tightly. Too much light or moisture can damage the strips.
