What if my meter readings do not match the laboratory's results?
Meters and laboratory equipment may be calibrated to test and measure blood glucose in different ways and therefore give different results.

Can I use lancets more than once?
To prevent infection you should not use a sterile lancet more than once. Dispose the used lancet in a container for biohazard and sharp objects.

Will the temperature affect my meter reading?
The GlucoLeader Enhance meter operates at temperatures ranging from? 28ºF to 86ºF (10ºC to 30ºC).

Will altitude affect my meter reading? Can I use my GlucoLeader Enhance meter inside a plane?
When on a plane, flying at an altitude of 30,000 to 40,000 feet, the interior of the plane is pressurized to a barometric pressure of not more than 8,000 feet. Therefore, you can use the GlucoLeader Enhance meter inside a plane.
