Unfortunately, the provided reference doesn't explicitly state how to turn on a glucometer. The excerpt focuses on the lancing device (pen) used to prick your finger, explaining how to adjust the depth setting. However, based on general knowledge about glucometers, here's how you typically turn one on:
- Inserting a Test Strip: Often, inserting a compatible test strip into the glucometer's designated slot will automatically power it on.
- Power Button: Some glucometers have a dedicated power button that you'll need to press and hold briefly to turn the device on. Look for an "on/off" symbol.
The provided video excerpt describes the lancing device:
- The lancing device or "pen" has a dial at the top, numbered 1 to 5. This dial adjusts the depth the finger prick will penetrate
