Instructions for Accu-Chek Instant Use

The Accu-Chek Instant Plus System has the ability to test both your glucose level and your cholesterol. Though it tests two different things, you can use the same test strip for either test, making it simpler to use. You will, however, need to perform one test at a time. The Accu-Chek Instant Plus also gives results quickly. It takes less than a minute for you to place the test drop of blood and read the results.
