Meter Features:
Easy:
Bayer's DIDGET™ blood glucose monitoring
system is about simplicity. You will notice its simple
approach the first time you see and use it.
Automatic:
You no longer have to worry about
coding your meter and test strips or marking a control
test result. The DIDGET meter does it automatically.
It will even tell you when a test strip is under-filled.
Programmed:
Your DIDGET meter has been preset
at the factory with the standard date, time, and units
of measure (mg/dL) used in your country. To change
the date or time, or use advanced meter features, such
as meal markers or After Meal test reminder, read through
the Additional Features section of this user guide.
Customizable:
The DIDGET meter allows you to
set personal choices for some features. For more
information, please see pages 24-30.
Games:
The DIDGET is more than simply a blood
glucose meter with advanced features; it is also a
system that rewards positive behaviors in blood
glucose testing. The rewards come in the form of
points that can be used in a Nintendo DS™ gaming
system or online.
Your DIDGET meter is designed with No Coding™
technology, so the meter codes itself every time you
insert a test strip. This means you do not have to
worry about getting inaccurate results due to
miscoding or forgetting to code your meter.
