Thanks! I've been using mine for about a month now, and realized the date/time where never setup. Finding/Watching and Following your instructions was so much quicker than trying to remember where the heck I put the instruction manual
It looks like the meter turns on when you insert the test strip...mine does not turn on. If I push the "M" button the blue light flashes along with the lancet indicator if I push the "M" button, it turns off completely. I think the settings are correct according to your video. I'm a little confused. The chk does not come on or the little droplet of blood indicator.
On the monitor..there are 3 options for monitoring Gen, AC, and PC, which option should I used. So far I've tried the Gen and AC. The AC reads about 3 -4 points lower than the Gen.
Those are optional tags that indicate whether you are fasted or fed. The gen is for a general glucose reading regardless of meals, AC indicates you are taking a reading before a meal and PC indicates you are taking a reading after a meal. Basically, a useful reference when you are review your historical readings.
@@learnbloodsugartestinghow come I get two completely different readings from general and PC or AC with the same prick of finger. For example, if I wake up and check my levels I use AC (before a meal ) and I get 65mg …. Then I used immediately after with a new test strip on general and got 100 .
Hi, Thanks for the video. I have one question. When I get up in the morning and do my test should I set the meter to GEN or am I supposed to use another setting?
Lo indicates your blood sugar is extremely low, if you feel that is incorrect you may want to use control solution to ensure the meter is functioning correctly.

That was very helpful as the instructions in the manual aren't nearly as clear or easy to follow.. Thanks for taking the time!
Glad it was helpful!
What is the Blood Glucose Control solution for?
Great video. My wife was ready to throw the meter against the wall. 😂
Thanks, I am glad you found it useful.
Thank you for the detailed and articulate direction. This was great!

Thank you for this video instructions . This is my first time doing measure of my blood sugar
I can't find an explanation of what the 4 different meter readings are for and what they mean? Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me!
I'm very grateful for this video. I bought this thing and it had no instructions. Thank you
Glad I could help!
Is it possible to check ketones with this also?
Thank you for the detailed explanation🙏🏽
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for video ☺️
Do u have to have it set to the correct date in order to get a reading?

Make sure the test strip is in the top slot, not the bottom!
Same here...until I put the strip in until it felt like it sorta clicked....then the CHK light came on and it worked properly
I try many strips at the same time it gives me lot of results
Very clear instructions. Thanks a lot
How do you load and trigger the lancet. That part wasn’t shown
Here's the lancet device video th-cam.com/video/yn3T6G2SVyo/w-d-xo.html
What is the USB slot at bottom used for? Pulling data from the device?
Correct, it is for downloading the data to a pc.
Hello how do u reset the time and date i can not seem to get it to reset to 12 hour its set to military time and want the civilian time. Thanks
Use the set button located in the battery compartment and follow along with the video.

Thanks man!! I was wondering about that.

Thank you for this video.
You are welcome!
Thank you so much.
I have a Metene Enhance meter and I cannot find out how to change the strip number to 05 when the meter starts at 23. Please help.
What should the blood glucose control solution register at and what is it here for?
I discuss the control solution in this video th-cam.com/video/47wxxwmEiHM/w-d-xo.html

can i use a usb cable to connect to a pc for a history log on my readings? thanks for the video
Yes, you can, the USB cable is not included. The windows based software, "Health Care Software System" is available for download on Metene's website.
Hi, Thanks for the video. I have one question. When I get up in the morning and do my test should I set the meter to GEN or am I supposed to use another setting?
I would mark it as AC since you haven't eaten yet.
Sorry but how do you change it from mg/dl to mmol/l
The Metene TD-4116 is preset, it does not allow you to change the units it measures in.
@@learnbloodsugartesting thank you so much
Where does the blood Glucose Solution go?
Thank you so much! 😊
You're welcome 😊
How do you use the control solution?
Here is the video showing how to use the Metene Control Solution th-cam.com/video/47wxxwmEiHM/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much
You're most welcome
how do you check ketones ?
This meter does not check ketones, you have to purchase a separate ketone meter and ketone test strips.
I can’t get the needle to come out
Hi, is a measure of 54 before get lunch is normal ? Thanks
Not at all. That is considered a very low blood sugar reading.
THANK YOU!!!!
You're welcome!
Can you read your Ketones on this monitor?
No, this meter doesn't measure ketones.
I’m so frustrated with this, two days in a row I get a reading of 22. That can’t be right. What am I doing wrong?
Have you try using control solution to ensure the meter and strips are working properly?
@@learnbloodsugartesting I did do that, finally, that may be the reason I started getting better results. Thanks!
I only get "LO". What is that mean?
Lo indicates your blood sugar is extremely low, if you feel that is incorrect you may want to use control solution to ensure the meter is functioning correctly.
My set button is not responding or beeping
I cannot for the life of me get a reading on the meter. Followed all the instructions, do the blood, but never gets a reading
Is your stip upside down? Blue side up?
@ I was able to finally figure it out
How do you set the year if it says 2018? suddenly it went to 2027. thanks but your too fast and quiet.
Mine just flashes M
That indicates you are accessing the memory, continue to push the 'M' button until the meter powers off.
@@learnbloodsugartesting i had the strip in backwards. I appreciate your response.
I put the strip in and it doesn't say check this thing is a piece of crap. Put several strips in got one to read and won't do any more . C r a p
en español
I'm having problems with this thing I wish it was completely simple I hate this freaking day thing and memory it shouldn't have any of that
You move to fast! The set button is very hard to press and by that time, YOU have moved on
Sorry I am too fast, I hope you still found the video useful.
garbage did not work i returned it dont buy it
Did you set up the date and time?
Yea not working good
The volume on this video is so low that I cannot hear it. Plus you are talking too fast. Not helpful at all.
Perfect video. Thank you
You're welcome!
Very helpful. Thanks.
