How to Perform a Control Solution Test

This chapter explains how to perform a control solution test
with the iBGStar Diabetes Manager Application (the app).
To perform a control solution test using the iBGStar Meter
independently: Skip step [1] and begin with step [2].
You must sync your meter to the app to be able to download
readings from your meter to the app and set your meter's time
and date. For instructions on how to sync for the first time refer
to Chapter 12. Test results without a set time and date:
• Will be saved to the meter in chronological order, but will
not download to the app.
• Test results without a set time and date will be displayed on your
meter with "--:--" and "--/--/--" in place of the time and date.
• If have you synced your iBGStar meter to the app previously
and you see dashes in place of the time and date you need to
re-sync your meter with the app. Readings that do not have
a time and date associated with them will not download to
the app. You can manually add these readings to the app to
include them in your statistics. For best results, frequently
sync the meter with your app.
Example Results:
[1] Launching the App and Connecting:
Tap the iBGStar Diabetes Manager Application icon
on your iPhone or iPod touch to launch the app.
The most recent scorecard or the app's
homescreen will be displayed.
