How do I clean and maintain my blood glucose monitor?

There will be cleaning instructions provided with your glucose monitor prescription, which you can use to ensure you maintain the safety and effectiveness of your monitor.

Part of this process involves ensuring that you always replace the lancets and blood glucose test strips between each use. This will ensure your results aren’t impacted, and the lancets for diabetes checks are always fresh and sanitary.

Also, using germicidal wipes with 0.55% bleach are recommended for disinfecting your blood glucose monitor between uses.
