How often should I replace my glucometer?
Replace the monitor every 4 to 5 years. Touch a generous drop of blood to the test strip. Don’t add more blood to the test strip after the first drop is applied. If you’re using a testing site other than your fingertip and you think the reading is wrong, test again using blood from a fingertip.
