■
Remove the test strip from the
meter and look at the test spot.
It should still have a wet, shiny
drop that completely covers the
test spot. If the blood sample has
a dull, dry appearance, you may
not have applied enough blood,
or you may have smeared it.
■
Look at the back of the test strip.
You should see a full, dark circle.
If there are any white patches or
streaks, you may have smeared the
blood or the drop was too small. In
either case, you may have a false
low result. Repeat the test with a
new test strip.
