How to Fix a Coding Error on a Glucose Monitor


1. Find the code on your package of test strips. The code is usually printed both on the outside of the box and on each individual vial of test strips.
2. Go to the coding screen on your glucose monitor. Each monitor has its own way to access the coding screen. To get help accessing the coding screen, read the manual for the monitor, visit the manufacturer's website or call the manufacturer's customer service department.
3. Enter the code that appears on your package of test strips. The meter will flash the new code or make another visual or audible indication that it has accepted the new code. Exit the coding screen.
