📋 Product Specifications

How Accu-Chek Instant S Works

A drop of capillary blood is drawn into the edge of an Accu-Chek Instant strip, which converts glucose into an electrical signal. The meter compensates for hematocrit and temperature and shows the result in under 4 seconds, with a target range indicator for low, in range or high.

Accu-Chek Instant S Uses

•    Home Monitoring: checking glucose before meals, after meals or at bedtime as your doctor advises

•    Simple Daily Testing: for people who do not need Bluetooth syncing

•    Sharing With a Clinician: stored results can be transferred by USB

Who Should Use Accu-Chek Instant S

People with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who want a fast, accurate meter using Accu-Chek Instant strips at a lower price than the Bluetooth Instant. Pakistan has an estimated 34.5 million adults (20-79) with diabetes, and 26.9% are undiagnosed (IDF Diabetes Atlas 2025).

🚫 Limitations and Cautions

A glucometer cannot diagnose diabetes, and insulin or medicine doses should not change from one reading without medical advice. Check the insert for conditions that affect accuracy, such as severe dehydration or abnormal hematocrit. Never share lancets or lancing devices.

💊 How to Test Blood Sugar with Accu-Chek Instant S

1.   Wash Hands: Wash and dry your hands; sugar on the skin can falsely raise a reading.

2.   Insert a Strip: Insert an Accu-Chek Instant strip; the meter switches on. Close the strip vial tightly.

3.   Get a Blood Drop: Prick the side of a fingertip with the lancing device.

4.   Apply to the Yellow Edge: Touch the drop to the strip's wide yellow edge; one small drop is enough.

5.   Read and Dispose: Read the result in under 4 seconds, record it with the time and meal timing, then discard the strip and lancet in a sharps container.

⚠️ Understanding Your Results

For most non-pregnant adults with diabetes, American Diabetes Association targets are below; your doctor sets your personal target.
