Insert a compatible Accu-Chek Active test strip into the meter. Use a lancing device to obtain a finger-prick blood drop and apply it to the strip as per the user manual; wait for the reading. Record results and follow your clinician’s testing schedule. Use clean, dry hands; do not share lancets; dispose of sharps safely.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
Missed dose and overdose
If you miss a dose
Take the missed dose of Accuchek Active Machine as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one and carry on with the usual schedule. Do not take two doses together to make up for a missed dose.
