FreeStyle Freedom Lite Overview It's important to get your meter set up so you can take advantage of all the features the system has to offer. But before you begin your set up be sure you’re familiar with the meter. |

 |
Test Strips The test strips are a critical component of the FreeStyle Freedom Lite blood glucose monitoring system so treat them with care. When the strip is in place it automatically turns the meter on. |
|||
 |
Control Solution To ensure your FreeStyle Freedom Lite meter is working properly it’s a good idea to run a Control Solution Test before doing an actual Blood glucose test. |

Alternative Test Sites The FreeStyle Freedom Lite meter gives you the flexibility to test your blood glucose on your fingertips, forearms, upper arms, thighs, calves, and hands.1 |

Test Procedures Insert a new test strip in the port on the FreeStyle Freedom Lite meter. Push it all the way into the test strip port until it stops. As the self-diagnostics take place, your screen will indicate all the functions are being tested. |

 |
Lancet Disposal You should also properly throw away your used test strips because they can be only be used once. The rules for disposing of medical products and sharp objects vary so be sure you know what is appropriate in your area. |

Environmental Controls Like any electronic devices or systems that depend on chemical reactions, Blood Glucose testing can be affected by heat and cold. |

Battery Your meter comes with one pre-installed 3 volt, lithium battery. The lithium technology has extended the battery life far beyond the older types. |
