Testing Your Blood Glucose

You will need:
√ Your EVENCARE G2 Meter
√ A new EVENCARE G2 Blood Glucose Test Strip
√ Lancing device with a clean, unused lancet (or safety lancets)
√ Clear cap for Alternate Site Testing (AST) on palm and forearm
Before you begin, make sure:
• To set up your meter properly and run a control test. See Setting Up
Your New System on page 14, and Control Solution Testing on page 27
for details.
• Wash your hands and the testing site thoroughly with soap and warm
water, and dry well.
• You are testing in an area between the temperature ranges of
50˚F-104˚F. Your meter will not test outside of this range and will
display thermometer icon with verbal indication if the voice feature is
turned on. Move the meter into an area that is between 50˚F-104˚F,
and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes before testing again.
Preparing Your Lancing Device (for Home Testing)

device and insert the lancet by pushing down
firmly until it is fully seated.
Step 2:
Twist the protective cover off the lancet. Screw
the adjustable cap clockwise back onto the lanc-
ing device.
