Blood Glucose Meter Instructional videos:

The pharmacy where you get your blood glucose meter supplies is able to provide instructions on how to use your meter. If the pharmacy is very busy, you might prefer to use the the following links for instructions on your meter:

  • Accuchek Guide
  • Contour next one meter (Note that your diabetes educator might recommend changing the color coding that goes along with your glucose reading) 
  • Freestyle Lite (Note that this video is not from the company but shows how to use the product)
  • Freestyle Precision Neo
  • GE 200 (Note that the example glucose reading in the video shows US units, which are different than Canadian units. The video also shows using a disinfectant on your finger, which is unnecessary, so long as your hands are clean.)
  • MediSure Canada (Note that use of alcohol wipe is not necessary so long as your hands are clean)
  • One Touch Verio Flex (Note that your diabetes educator might recommend changing the color coding that goes along with your glucose reading)
  • One Touch Verio Reflect (Note that your diabetes educator might recommend changing the color coding that goes along with your glucose reading)
