With each test strip held safely inside the meter, there's less to carry and less chance of losing or dropping the test strip. Tests results are displayed in 30 seconds. Testing Testing with the Glucometer Dex is exceptionally easy and can be done with one hand. Holding the meter in the other hand, use the thumb to move the blue slide over and up to expose a test strip. When the blood drop symbol appears on the meter, touch the test strip to the blood drop.
