Reviewing Past Results and Averages:
If you have just completed a test, pressOK to get to the MAIN MENU screen.
If your meter is off, press and holdOK to turn it on.
From the MAIN MENU screen you can choose:
LAST RESULT to view your most recent result,
ALL RESULTS to review up to 500 of your most recent results four at a time, or
RESULT AVG to select one of three types of result averages.
Press ↑ or ↓ to highlight LAST RESULT, ALL RESULTS, or RESULT AVG and pressOK.
Last Result:
The meter will display your most recent result. PressOK to return to MAIN MENU. If you wish to add or change a meal flag or comment for this result, see Attaching flags or comments to your results.
The meter will display four results at a time, in the order the tests were done, starting with the most recent. For each test result, the meter will display the date and time of the test. Results may also contain the following symbols:
HI if the result was above 600 mg/dL,
LO if the result was below 20 mg/dL,
* if a comment has been chosen for the result,
C if the result is from a control solution test,
- if the result is flagged BEFORE MEAL, and
+ if the result is flagged AFTER MEAL.
The meter stores a maximum of 500 blood glucose or control solution test results. When the memory is full, the oldest result is dropped as the newest is added.
To view details of an individual result, press ↑ or ↓ to highlight the result you want, then pressOK. If you wish to add or change a meal flag or comment for this result, see Attaching flags or comments to your results.
To return to the list of all results from an individual result, pressOK.
To view more recent results, continue to press ↑ after the top result on the display is highlighted. If you press ↑ when the most recent result is highlighted, you will see the oldest stored results.
To view older results, press ↓ after MENU is highlighted. Pressing and holding ↑ or ↓ allows you to move more quickly through the results. To return to the main menu, highlightMENU, then pressOK.
Averages:
If the flags/comments feature is on, the meter will display the three types of averages you can access:
the average of all test results,
the average of before-meal results, and
the average of after-meal results.
To select the type of result average you want to see, press ↑ or ↓ to highlight your choice, then press OK.
If you have turned the flags/comments feature off, selecting RESULT AVG from the MAIN MENU will lead directly to the ALL RESULTS AVG screen.
The meter will display each of your 7-,14-, and 30-day averages. The top of the display shows which type of average you are looking at. For each of the 7-,14-, and 30-day periods leading up to the current date, the meter will display the number of results obtained (NUM) and the average of those results (AVG).
In result averages, a HIGH GLUCOSE result is counted as 600 mg/dL, and a LOW GLUCOSE result as 20 mg/dL. Control solution results are not part of your averages. From any screen showing averages, press OK to go back to the previous screen.
To return to the main menu from the RESULT AVG screen, press ↓ until MENU is highlighted, then press OK.
NOTE:
Result averages provide information from past results. Do Not use result averages to make immediate treatment decisions.
If you change your date setting, your averages may change too. The meter calculates averages based on the 7-,14-, and 30-day periods ending on the current date setting.
If you do not have results in the past 7-,14-, and 30-day periods, the NUM and AVG columns will show 0. Also, if you do not use the meal flag feature, then the NUM and AVG columns will show 0 on the BEFORE MEAL and AFTER MEAL average screens.
To see averages for different parts of the day or over a different number of days, you can use diabetes management software and your home computer.
