Before you check your blood sugar, let’s get everything ready.
Watch this video or follow the steps below.

Wash hands
Use soap and water to remove any sugar on your fingertips.

Confirm your lancing device
These instructions detail how to use the OneTouch® Delica® Plus lancing device.


Remove lancing device cap
Lightly twist the cap off the lancing device and pull it straight off. The cap should come off without much force.


Insert lancet
Push in a new lancet. Twist to remove the protective cover and save it for later. Be sure to use a new lancet for each reading.


Replace lancing device cap
Place the white cap back on the lancing device.


Adjust lancet depth
1 is the most shallow setting, 7 is the deepest. You may want to turn the green wheel to 4 for your first test. Then adjust in half setting increments from there.


Cock device
Pull slider until it clicks. If it doesn’t, it’s probably already cocked.

Before checking your blood sugar, watch the video or read the steps below.

Use a new test strip
Remove a new test strip from the test strip vial, and tightly re-close the vial cap to protect the remaining strips.


Insert test strip
Hold your meter with the screen facing you. Gently insert the strip with the gold side and two prongs facing you.
You’ll see a flashing drop on the meter screen indicating the test strip has been inserted correctly and is ready to receive a sample.


Lance finger
Massage your finger to get the blood flowing. Then lance the side of your fingertip by pressing the green button.


Form a round drop of blood
Squeeze your fingertip so the blood drop forms. Be sure to get a large enough drop to help prevent an error in your reading. If it smears, runs or dries, lance a new location.


Apply to test strip
Apply blood drop to the visible channel on the side of the test strip, NOT the top.
IMPORTANT: After you inserted the test strip, you have 2 minutes to apply the blood before your meter will automatically turn off. If this happens, press and hold the OK button to turn it back on before applying blood to the strip and the flashing drop will reappear.

View results
A 5-second countdown will begin. Your result will appear along with a ColourSure® arrow that will make it easy to tell if you’re high, low or in-range. The meter will store your 500 most recent readings.
Get an error code (ER)?
Don’t worry! Click the button to find your error code and see how to continue with a successful reading.


Remove used lancet
To safely remove the lancet, remove the lancing device cap and place the protective lancet cover flat on a hard surface. Push the lancet tip into the side of the cover.


Eject the lancet
Push the slider forward to eject the used lancet.
