FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How can I download my results?
There is a USB port on the device which can connect the meter to a laptop or computer via a USB cable. This will then allow you to download the results.
How do I change from mg/dL to mmol/l or vice versa?
Turn the machine on by pressing the 'S' button on the side of the meter. The date setting will flash to begin with but to move on, press the S again until you see either mg/dL or mmol/l flashing at the bottom. To switch the unit of measure, hold down the one of the arrow buttons until it beeps and the other unit of measure then starts flashing. Then keep pressing the 'S' button until the device displays 'OFF'.
Why are my readings inconsistent?
This may be because you are comparing results from different times of the days. When you are monitoring your glucose levels, you essentially need to be comparing 'apples with apples'. This means you should take a reading each day at the same time, for example, just after you've woken up before you have had any breakfast. This is because your glucose level will vary throughout the day when you eat and drink so by taking a reading in the morning before you have eaten anything, means there isn't these variable affecting how 'true' the reading is.
Another reason could be the blood sample isn't big enough or when you prick your finger you haven't discarded the first drop of blood. Refer back to the user manual to follow the instructions on the best practice when taking a glucose reading.
