Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Insert a test strip into your blood sugar meter. Prick one of your fingertips with a lancet device. Squeeze a drop of blood from where your finger was pricked. Touch the end of the test strip to the drop of blood. Record your blood sugar levels onto your blood sugar log. Dispose of the lancet used to prick your finger.
