how to use storage pouch for onetouch ultra mini?

Question

I purchased my onetouch ultra mini (green) today.
I got it home, opened the box and went through everything.
I'm trying to figure out HOW to store EVERYTHING in the pouch without it ripping and being able to zip it up.

It seems like its a REALLY tight fit!!

the meter itself has a plastic holder it sits in. but where does the lancing pen and strip container go? it seems when I put them each in the other 2 straps and have lancets in the zipper and the book in the back (even tried with the book inside the pouch) it is too tight of a fit.

Does anyone have pics they can email me of how its all supposed to fit in there??

If so, click the button on my yahoo answers profile and send me a message, I'll reply with my emial addy for you to send pics with.

Thank you for any help you can offer!!

Sugar PIe, I have to store the whole vial, because it has the container to hold the test strips. I don't want to put it in something like a baggie and put it in there cause baggies can get make moisture. I live in a very humid place. humid even in winter. if the strips get wet they won't work after that. ;)

Answer 1

You probalby only store a few sticks in the pouch at a time, not the wole vial.

Answer 2

I put the lancing pen and the test strips in the other two straps. The pen in the left one and the strips in the right one. I don't know why you would want to carry the book with you. When you get used to the meter you will not need the book and other stuff will fit in pouch.
