• Take out a OneTouch Select Test Strip from the box and insert it into the slot on the OneTouch Select Simple blood sugar testing machine (remember, it's the white-coloured one) just before you prick your finger.
• Use a clean lancet or insert a clean needle, this will help you prick the end of your finger.
