Uses For Your Meter’s
Optional Functions
This function is designed to help you adjust your insulin dose based on a
pattern of blood glucose values over 3 to 5 days (“pattern-control” of your
insulin). It provides information to help make these insulin adjustments.
You can use the meter to compute the average of 3 blood glucose test
results that you took at roughly the same time of day over the last few days.
You can select the 2-hour time period that you want this average to be
drawn from (ie, before or after meals, before or after exercise).
