Accurate blood glucose readings help you manage your health!

Make it easy and accurate with every test

With diabetes, the goal is to keep blood glucose levels within a target range established by your health care team - that is why testing is so important.

Testing lets you keep track of your results to make daily health and lifestyle decisions to help you manage your diabetes. Eight in 10 health care professionals base their diabetes treatment recommendations on the blood glucose test results1 - including adjustments to medication. Inaccurate readings could impact your health now or down the road, which could increase the risk of other conditions linked to diabetes, such as: heart disease, kidney problems, erectile dysfunction or vision loss.

What is Coding?

It's an adjustment made to the meter's electronic system to make sure the meter matches the blood glucose test strips and to ensure an accurate reading for every test. Most meters require manual coding every time a new box of strips is used. This is typically done by: Inserting a code strip once for every new box of strips or; Scrolling through and selecting a new code number in the meter for every new box of strips or; Inserting a code chip into a meter and keeping it there for as long as you use that box of strips.

Why is Coding Important?

Seventy-five per cent of patients don't always properly code their meter.1 Miscoded meters can lead to inaccurate blood glucose readings.
