Initial steps before testing
2 Initial steps before testing
2.1 Checking the contents
Check that your monitoring kit is complete. The package contents are
listed on the box.
If anything is missing, please contact the Accu-Chek Customer Careline
free on 0800 701000 (UK) or 1800 709600 (Ireland).
2.2 Checking the blood glucose unit
Blood glucose results can be displayed in two different units of mea-
surement (mmol/L or mg/dL). Consequently, Roche sells two different
versions of the same meter. If you do not know which is the right unit for
you, ask your doctor. The unit of measure normally used in the UK and
Ireland is mmol/L.
Check that your meter displays the unit that is right for you.
Check the unit by referring to the type plate and to the display window
during a display check (see the following pages).
Note
The unit that your meter displays cannot be changed. If the
wrong unit is printed on the type plate, please consult your dealer
or pharmacy. Using the wrong unit can cause you to misinterpret
the test results.
