2. If after 5 seconds the PDM does not display the countdown 

screen, the sample may be too small. 

The strip port light turns off when the blood sample is 

accepted. The reading is complete when you hear 2 beeps (if 
BG sound is turned On) and the PDM shows your reading on 
the screen (Figure 7-22).

3. To mark the result as a pre- or post-meal test, to indicate a 

level of exercise or to indicate other situations connected to 
this blood glucose reading, press Tag. Then:
a. Use the Up/Down Controller buttons to select a tag, 

then press Select. You can select a second tag for the 
reading in the same way.

To learn how to manage your list of tags and to add 

custom tags, see “Manage the blood glucose tags list” in 
Chapter 6, Using the Personal Diabetes Manager. 

b. Press OK to return to the reading screen (Figure 7-24), 

then press Next.

4. If you do not want to mark the test, press Next instead of Tag.

5. Remove the test strip. If the strip-port light was turned on, it 

now turns off.

6. When you have finished testing, place the lancet protec-

tive cover on a hard surface, then push the rounded top 
into the cupped side of the cover. Then, remove the lan-
cet from the lancing device (Figure 7-23 on the next page). 
Discard the used lancet properly in a puncture-resistant con-
tainer. Then wash your hands with soap and water.

If the words Control solution show on the 
screen, repeat the test with a new test strip. If the 
problem persists, contact Insulet's Customer
