To ensure the accuracy of your blood glucose meter, you need to do these three things:

I. Methods of preservation of blood glucose meters:

1, not in use is the blood glucose meter test strips are placed in the blood glucose tester package to save for storage or carry.

2, if the blood glucose meter surface sticky foreign matter, do not use corrosive strong alcohol cleaning, can use neutral cleaning agent for wiping. Such as a cotton cloth moistened with water to wipe.

3. Avoid liquid inside the tester, you can also use a hair dryer to blow the tester.

4. Do not clean the test strip slots arbitrarily, clean the test strip slots arbitrarily.

5. Blood glucose test strips are required to be placed in dry, +10 degrees and +40 degrees temperatures.

6、Don't put it in too humid, too hot, too cold environment. Blood glucose meter preservation should avoid dust, the temperature should not be too high, humidity should not be too large. To prevent violent oscillation and collision.

Second, the correct way to use it:

Alcohol disinfection is required before blood collection, the first drop of blood is wiped off, the second drop of blood is taken for testing, and the blood can be collected directly with the blood collection pen that comes with the blood glucose meter, and then the blood drop is leaned into the test paper, and put into the blood suction area of the test paper and it will be directly sucked in. After drawing blood, wait for the test result to be displayed.

Third, replacement of test strips requires calibration of the blood glucose meter, and the code displayed on the meter should be checked and adjusted to match the code on the test strip box before testing. It is also necessary to consider whether there are reasons such as expired test strips, low battery, etc., all of which can affect its accuracy.

The above is only a personal opinion, to learn more about health, pay attention to Dr. Xiao Xiao.

I am engaged in medical testing, the most correct way to calibrate the blood glucose meter is to buy a set of blood glucose meter quality control solution, there are two bottles of a set of blue is the low standard 6mmol / L, red is the high standard 12mmol / L, the blood glucose test paper to be examined inserted into the glucose meter, drop a drop of quality control solution in the clean slide, with the test paper to measure if the display is 6.1 is correct, the general up and down the error of 0.3 or so can be, the factory error control The factory error control is about 20%, for example, if the exact blood glucose value is 5, then 4 to 6 is considered accurate, of course, nowadays blood glucose meter will not have such a big error. The quality control solution can be bought at any time, so it is very convenient to calibrate the glucose meter. As long as you pay attention not to drop the quality control solution on the sugar stains can be, otherwise it will not be allowed, I have been using this method of calibration, about every batch number calibration, or when in doubt about the data, the quality control solution covered in the refrigerator can be used for two years, no problem, preservation of three or four years can also be preserved, there is a preservative, this method can be said to be the most accurate and convenient.

Read the instructions carefully.

Go to the hospital, take a blood test, take a blood glucose meter, compare the results, and you're done.
