■ Entering Blood Glucose Readings Manually
You can enter blood glucose readings manually into the PDM.
This is particularly helpful if you use a separate blood glucose
meter.
1. On the Home screen, use the Up/Down Controller buttons
to choose More actions; then press Select.
2. Choose Add BG reading, then press Select.
3. Use the Up/Down Controller buttons to enter the BG read-
ing from your separate meter.
4. Press Tag to assign a tag to the reading. Press OK when fin-
ished. (For an explanation of entering tags, see page 93.)
5. Press Save to save the reading.
Or press Cancel to return to the More actions menu without
saving the reading.
■ Editing Tags
Within 2 hours of a blood glucose reading, you can remove or
change a tag or add one. However, you cannot alter a Control
tag.
1. On the Home screen, use the Up/Down Controller buttons
to choose More actions; then press Select.
2. Choose Assign/Edit BG tags, then press Select.
3. Use the Up/Down Controller buttons to choose a reading,
then press Tag (Figure 7-35 on the next page). A “?” icon is
shown to the right of any reading to which you have already
assigned one or two tags.
The Bolus Entry screen does not
open if:
• A regular bolus is currently in process
• The meter temperature is out of range
• You have tagged this BG reading as a Control
• The BG reading is less than your “Min BG for calcs”
• Insulin is suspended
To enter a “LOW” reading, press the Up/Down
Controller buttons down until you reach the mini-
mum value (20); then press down one more time.
To enter a “HIGH” reading, press up until you reach
the maximum value (500); then press up one more
time.
