Setting
The Glucose Target Range
The BGStar includes a unique positive feedback feature where
a happy face symbol is displayed with test results that fall
within the glucose target range. By setting a target range for
what your glucose levels should be before or after a meal, you
customize when this symbol appears. Always consult your
healthcare professional for your recommended target ranges.
IMPORTANT: First set the hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic
warning alarms to your recommended thresholds before
making changes within the glucose target range menu (refer
to chapters 15-16 for setting these alarms).
Note: The glucose target range is limited by the values set for your
hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic warning alarms. Your meter
will not allow you to select a number beyond these alarm settings,
even if the warning alarm is turned off.

For example: If you want the pre meal target range to begin at
5.0 mmol/L, then the hypoglycemic alarm needs to be set at
5.0 mmol/L or less; or if you want the post meal target range to
end at 10.0 mmol/L, then the hyperglycemic alarm needs to be set
at 10.0 mmol/L or higher.
