The Time-Specific Average function will compute that number for you. Say your blood glucose at lunchtime over the last few days has been 10.6 mmol/L, 12.1 mmol/L, and 8.1 mmol/L. The Time-Specific Average function will show you that your blood glucose has been 10.3 mmol/L for this time of day.
MARKING Marking Insulin Doses: Marking allows you to identify specific blood glucose test results or insulin doses in the monitor’s memory. Some examples of how you may use the Marking function to mark an insulin dose are shown below. • The Marking function is turned off when you receive your new monitor.
