Obtain a Blood Sample
Select a test site. There are differences in testing on fingers versus
other alternative sites.
Use your lancing device to obtain a blood sample. Refer to the
Lancing Device insert for detailed instructions on how to use
the FreeStyle Lancing Device.
WARNING: If you are testing for hypoglycemia (low blood
glucose), or if you suffer from hypoglycemia unawareness, we
recommend that you test on your fingers.

Filling the FreeStyle Lite Test Strip
with Blood
a. Make sure that the FreeStyle Lite Test Strip
is in the meter and the meter is powered
on. (If the meter is off, take out the test
strip and reinsert it into the meter.) You
are now ready to apply the blood sample.
b. Bring the FreeStyle Lite Test Strip to the
blood sample at a slight angle.
c. The FreeStyle Lite Test Strip acts like a
sponge and pulls the blood into the strip
through the sample area.
