Testing blood glucose
4.3.2 Obtaining blood
All the fingertips and both the earlobes are suitable for obtaining blood.
We recommend obtaining capillary blood from the side of the fingertip,
as this causes the least amount of pain.
You can choose the penetration depth from a possible 11 settings rang-
ing from 0.5 to 5.5. Your chosen penetration depth is visible in the win-
dow, e.g.:
The larger the number, the greater the penetration depth.
The half-settings – e.g. 2.5 – are identified by a dot. The setting 2.5 is
set when the dot is between 2 and 3 in the window. For technical rea-
sons the setting 5.5 is not identified by a dot. Setting 5.5 is set when
you rotate the cap beyond setting 5 and the cap snaps into place.
