I can’t tell you how many pokes I did to my finger until I decided to RU-vid it and came across this great video thank you so much

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.

I tried 4 times and got E2 before this video. Very helpful indeed 👍

THANK YOU SO MUCH! THE ONE WE GOT AT HOSPITAL KEPT SAYING E1 OR E2. THIS WAS SO HELPFUL AND QUICK. THANK YOU!

Thank you for this great video. You showed us how to use it as opposed to other videos who just talked and did not show!! I poked my fingers many times till I found this GREAT ONE.

It took me several hours on how to use the clear plastic things and where to put the lancet in. Finally it's working ok. For me I get much less pain, and larger blood drop when testing just above my knee.

Omg thank you for this tutorial! The instructions that came with the monitor were so complex and overwhelming and I was about to give up. You're a lifesaver.

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I just got my monitor and was getting confused with reading so many different instructions. Saved me a big headache 👍🏼🙂

I used this video to get through my first time trying to use the kit. It sure helped, but I wish there was more info on how to adjust the 1-5settings. I think 1 is the strongest, now that I've played with it some. Thank you so much for preparing and providing 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.

Thank you so much! I was able to set this up for my Dad 😊

Thank you. The instructions that came with the meter is too small .Your instructions is very helpful.

I had to come here, to know how to use it... Thank You So Much!!!!

What should be a normal results?

So very glad I found this site. Thank you so very much for posting this!!

Mi esposo habla solo ingles y yo español no entendia las instrucciones encontre su video y soluciono su problema🙏

This is so amazing Doc u taught usquite well how we can understand i love it

Thank u so so much for this video...really helped me a lot

I want to thank you for this video because it was so informative and help me get through this process with ease

This is a great video I didn't if should drop the blood on the tap or let the blood go onto the test strip thank you.

Thank you! Your video helped guide me through my first test. Much appreciated!

Thank you very much, I never done anything like it but worked like a charm

I get either E0 or E5, I've gone though about 10 strips. I've had a Gluco Navii meter for years without issues. I'm not sure what's going on.

Very helpful. Thanks for the video!!!

Thanks so much for this instructional video. Most appreciated.

Eye doctor I just want to say thank you for the video very informative 75% blind so it's hard for me to read literature specially some of it being in very small print that being said I have an issue with my meter I put the test strip in and it doesn't power up and when I finally got it to power up it said E3 can you tell me what I'm doing wrong

I appreciate your assistance

This video was great! Thanks for your help

How do I set the date and time? The arrows aren't letting me change anything, also, the blood draw symbol is not showing up on the screen.

Awesome. I still got my test strip inserted the wrong way round on try 1. But remembering this is supposed to be idiot proof, I looked for what stupid thing I could have been wrong. 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.

Much appreciated it worked as i thought thanks

What does the letters ALT mean on the bottom left when my blood sugar number shows? This meter is by far most accurate I've ever used. LOVE IT!!!

I did 4 test in a row and got 4 different numbers. Kept going higher

Thanks so much for the video. These other videos do not explain how this thing works.

Thanks for the walkthrough video, it was very helpful.

I was able to solve the E3 error messages after watching your video. Thanks a lot!

Hey bro, just wanna say thank you for this video. Super helpful 👊

Thank you for this advice, it has helped a lot. Do I change the pin after every use?

Just got my True Metrix today, helpful video

Thanks a lot for this helpful video

Thanks, very useful video!

Was having a very difficult time getting it to work followed your steps and worked the first time thank u

This is so helpful thank you so much

Nice, I use FreeStyle libre with Nightrider, it help me to continuous track the glucose on the phone. They are a game changer, save me having to do multiple finger pricks everyday.

Thanks for for your help🌸

Thanks. I bought the same meter.

Nicely done. Thanks

How many times can you use the same lancets??

Do you have to have control solution? They don't even sell it at Walgreen where they sell the device...?

Thank you, how to take used needles out ?

Thanks you very much brother😊

Thank you so much, it helped a lot your very detailed video.... 🎉

Ugh thank you so much for this

So how do you remove the lancets to put a new one?

I figured out how to do it when you prick from the side let the blood glide into the strip the blood should not be all over the strip it’s suppose to slide ryt in the line that’s it so prick from the side it let it glide ito the the tiny line I hope this helped it took me about 8 times to get this good luck on your journey

I have been using true result for a long time then I purchased a true metrix so I did test on both machines on same finger just to see if I will get same results but I was surprised the true result gave me 168 then in true metrix it gave me 24 ..I just don't know how did that happened? I would assume at least the difference would be closer but that's way far..what do you think did I do wrong ? I took it at the same time..

Thank you so much

Thank you for your help❤️

Is there a certain way to dispose of used lancets and test strips? It just feels wrong to me throwing in normal trash. I feel like I should have one of the red containers like at the doctors office.

Thank You!!!! I just got one..Needed to know how to use it...207 was mine... The man that's trying to build-up my credit score from Indianapolis...💯🇺🇲🤙

How do I set this meter, I got a new battery but I need to know how to set it! Please go slow because I have had 3 Strokes and my comprehension has gotten a little inpaired thank you very much!

This was a helpful video. Thank you for posting it.

This video helps with entering into the unknown. It’s a bit intimidating at first. Thanks.

when loading the lancers...just dont install to deep in the holder set at 5 it will prick your finger perfectly however forcing it deep into the holder will prevent how much of the needle is provided once triggered

I just tried an the pen don't know how to use it.but the machine is beautiful.

thanks for the video. I've jut got mine after my A1C was high and the doc wnats me to test my blood for 3 months. How to set it up with the phone? what application to use? thanks

Thank you🙏

Awesome video. Thank you so much

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.

Can I check my ketones on this meter? Thank you

Does this meter save your results each day? I can't find them. The app says to attach the cable to upload to your computer. Mine didn't come with a cable, nor the forearm adaptor, nor the control solution. Is the only way to save the results is to manually record them myself?

Thank you but You didn't describe other features on the meter its self

Thank you

مرحبا تحية لك من العراق لدي هذا الجهاز ولاأعرف كيفية تنظيمه من حيث الوقت ووقت التخزين وأشكال الاختبار قبل وبعد الأكل .. نرجو ترجمة الفديو الى العربية ولك كل الشكر والتقدير

How do you remove lancet from holder after testing? You didn’t show.

Do u have to change the blue thing every time u stick your self

Hey how do you take used needles out ?

I miss the light from my other meter which my insurance refused to let me use. I can't use this in the dark if I want to check it in the night. I didn't show is what that dilution is for???

how do you change the time from eastern standard time to western standard time

What do u do if u want to check your past sugar levels

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.

Amazing video

How do I look at my last reading, and then my reading before that, and so on?

I have 2 glucose meters. True Matrix and another brand. Consistently, the True matrix almost always is 10 points above the other glucose machine ???

What is the control solution for?

Does this device have the ability to test ketones?

I'm assuming you use a new lancet every time. How should you properly dispose of the lancet?

How do we set the correct date and time?

What does E3 mean on the meter?

questions about the recording. I'm doing 12 hours fast. I stop eating at 12am-12pm every day. Do I still write the number for before and after breakfast/ before and after lunch even though I'm fasting at that time? Do I do the test only once a day? First-time diabetic (non-insuline dependant) patient. thanks

How does one set the date and time?

Quiero saber la tabla de medidas de la glucosa en sangre con éste equipo

Is there an iphone app that can record your readings instead of having to use paper to jot them down?

Is there supposed to be a backlight so the numbers will be visible when dark?

Hi I recently had blood work done for a general health check and my glucose was 100 after 12-14 hours of fasting. 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. I don't have health insurance.

So I have a Walgreens one but I ran out of strips but no Walgreens close to me are there other ones that will work?

I was wondering how the solution works

Do you have to set date to use

Can I change my true metrix metre readings from metre to imperial and vise visa?
