So glad I came across this video. I kept getting E -2 error. I finally realized what I was doing wrong. I kept dropping my blood on top of the testing strip instead of placing my blood against the edge of the strip. I didn’t realize that the strip would automatically suck up (soak up ) the necessary amount of blood. Thank you for sharing this video.

This is very helpful. I have a sister in law who has to wait several months to test if she is diabetic. I’m buying her this $20 meter as a beginners device for her to check her levels just for peace of mind. I’m sure her doctor will recommend a more high tech monitor if she is diabetic. I did check on the prices for the test strips and they are $74 for 100 ct. That just seems crazy!! Almost a dollar per strip after tax. And I don’t know how much the lancets are yet but holy smokes.

After 5 attempts to draw blood I finally got a reading. Libre 3 (+26 hours since applying) = 53 True Metrix Finger Stick = 141. No. I have not been hypoglycemic for the last 8 hours. Time to make a call to Abbott.

ALT indicates it is in alternative site testing mode. To change that, insert a strip and press the left arrow button on the top of the meter. The "ALT" should no longer show on the screen and the meter is regular finger tip testing mode.

I tried compressing the tip of my finger with my thumb, as shown in the video. I didn't like that! I could definitely feel the stick. As a noobie, I have some advise of my own. After 2 weeks of this, I found that, using 30ga lancets, instead of the 28ga which come with the meter, placing the TrueDraw device on my finger with very slight pressure, and set to level 4, provides a good blood sample, with no discomfort at all.

I got the E-2 error message 3 times out of 5 tests and I follow the instructions to a T. Which really sucks when they only give you 10 lancets & 10 test strips. Even with 0 errors it's not enough to do even a week's worth of testing (if you're doing it before and after every meal). This is my 2nd time trying to get on top of my diabetes and it's perplexing why they never give you the supplies you need to test like they want you to? Also, with this particular product there is so many small print instructions, some of which contradict each other, for example whether to use alcohol or not. This product also has a warning that you need all 3 levels of control solution to test if this device is working properly yet they only provide you with one.

I did have a medium chocolate milkshake the night before from McDonald's and I read that's 80 grams of sugar. I'm wondering if some of that sugar was still somehow left in my body giving that reading. So anyway I was thinking of getting this so I can check and save money going back to the lab.
