The results you get with the
OneTouch
®
UltraSmart
®
System can help you and your
healthcare professional monitor and adjust your treatment plan
to gain better control of your diabetes.
Your OneTouch
®
UltraSmart
®
System requires a small drop of
blood, at least 1µL (microliter), and five seconds to provide you
with an accurate plasma-calibrated test result.
The OneTouch
®
UltraSmart
®
Meter also has a memory that allows
it to function as an “electronic logbook.” Now you can store vital
everyday information such as insulin and oral medication doses,
food intake, amount of exercise, illnesses, and other pertinent
data. You can use your OneTouch
®
UltraSmart
®
System simply
to test or to serve as a complete storehouse of information
regarding your diabetes treatment plan.
