Not Enough Blood
Back
If any white patches or
streaks appear on the
blue confirmation dot,
you have not applied
enough blood for an
accurate test. You must
start the test over with a
new test strip to avoid
inaccurately low results.
* Never add a second
drop of blood.

Too Much Blood
Back
If there is no white visible
on the white pad, you
have applied too much
blood. You must start the
test over with a new test
strip to avoid inaccurate-
ly high results.
* Be careful not to apply
too much blood, espe-
cially if you tend to
bleed easily or are
taking blood-thinning
medications.
