Attaching a meal flag or comment to a result with the OneTouch® Ultra®2 Meter
Your meter allows you to attach optional notes to your blood sugar result. There are 2 kinds of notes and different reasons to apply them.
|
Note type |
Recommendation |
Benefit |
|
Meal flag |
Add a meal flag to every blood glucose result. |
Allows you to link the effects of food to your blood glucose results. Provides you with separate averages for before-meal and after-meal tests. |
|
Comment |
Select an appropriate comment whenever you test under conditions that you or your health care professional feel are worth noting. |
Helps track possible reasons for test results. |
You can attach these notes just after checking your blood sugar, before you remove your used test strip from your meter. You can also modify notes when reviewing a past result.
You will not be able to add a meal flag or a comment to a result marked as a control solution test.
You can choose not to attach a meal flag or a comment after checking your blood sugar. If you do not want to use this feature at all, you can turn it off so the meter will not prompt you to add notes or to select a type of result average to review.
Add or change a meal flag 
If the flags/comments feature is turned on, the up arrow at the bottom right corner of the result screen will flash when a result is first displayed to remind you to enter a meal flag. To add or change a meal flag:
Step 1
While viewing a result, press ▲ to display the MEAL FLAG screen
Step 2
Press ▲ or ▼ to highlight BEFORE MEAL or AFTER MEAL
If you decide not to assign a flag to this result, select NO FLAG.
Step 3
To confirm your selection, press 
The meal flag you chose will appear above the result on the result screen.
NOTE: Testing after a meal can show how the food you ate affects your blood sugar. These results can be flagged as AFTER MEAL and are usually obtained 2 hours after the start of the meal. Your health care professional may suggest another time period or other use for this feature.
