Now simply hold the meter at a slight angle. With either side of the test strip lightly touching the blood droplet like this when it touches your sample. The test strip draws blood into the channel.

Your OneTouch Verio IQ® Meter uses a rechargeable battery. When fully charged, the meter will perform blood glucose or control solution tests for about 6 to 8 weeks before recharging is needed.

The expected values for normal fasting blood glucose concentration are between 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) and 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L). When fasting blood glucose is between 100 to 125 mg/dL (5.6 to 6.9 mmol/L) changes in lifestyle and monitoring glycemia are recommended.

Press. And hold the up or down button until the control solution icon C appears on the display. Invalid.

Test strips also could be expired. A lack of proper storage or using expired strips could put you at risk for getting incorrect results from your glucose meter. And incorrect results can put you at risk for serious health complications - and even death.

Using test strips that have expired can cause your results to be inaccurate. If your test strips have expired, throw them away and begin using a new vial of strips. The expiration date is printed on every vial of test strips.

Replace the monitor batteries as needed. 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.

LifeScan is recalling and replacing all OneTouch® Verio®IQ Meters because at extremely high blood glucose levels of 1024 mg/dL and above, the meter will not provide a warning that the blood glucose is extremely high and will shut off, thereby potentially leading to incorrect treatment and delaying proper treatment.
