Frequently Asked Questions

Testing blood sugar (glucose)

Failure to test could cause a delay in therapy decisions and may potentially lead to a serious medical condition. Therefore it is strongly recommended to:

  • Have a spare set of batteries, because battery life may vary due to factors such as temperature and battery manufacturer.
  • Have a back-up testing method available. An example of a back-up testing method would be a back-up meter and strips. Ask your healthcare professional or pharmacist about other possible back-up methods.
  • If you have further questions, please contact our Accu-Chek ExtraCare customer service line at 6272 9200 to obtain further support.

    • Remove the batteries,
    • Press and hold the Power/Set/OK button for at least 2 seconds,
    • Reinsert the batteries.

General Questions

Accu-Chek Guide system uses Accu-Chek Guide test strips. The strips have a wide dosing area which requires a small blood sample. The strips are packed in a spill resistant vial that makes it easy to remove just one strip at a time. The Accu-Chek Guide meter is not compatible with other Accu-Chek test strips.
