Look at other positions listed in your area and include following manufacturer's directions.
What are the personnel requirements for glucometer testing? Do you need a high school diploma?
Moderately complex testing requires a high school education. Waived testing just requires orientation training. If your glucometer is waived, you do not need a high school diploma.
