Attaching flags or comments to your results

Attaching flags or comments to your results
Your OneTouch® Ultra® 2 Meter allows you to attach optional notes to any blood glucose test result. There are two kinds of
notes and different reasons to apply them.
Note type
Meal Flag
Comment
We suggest you talk to your health care professional to see how meal flags and comments may help you manage your diabetes.
You can attach these notes just after a blood glucose test before you remove your used test strip from your meter. You can also
modify notes when reviewing a past result.
You will not be able to add a meal flag or comment to a result marked as a control solution test.
This feature can be turned on or off. It needs to be turned on before you can use it. See Turning the flags/comments feature off or
on in Section 2 for instructions.

Add or change a meal flag

If the flags/comments feature is turned on, the up arrow at the bottom right corner of the result screen will flash when a result
is first displayed to remind you to enter a meal flag. To add or change a meal flag:
 While viewing a result, press
 Press
If you decide not to assign a flag to this result, select NO FLAG.
 To confirm your selection, press
The meal flag you chose will appear above the result on the result screen.
NOTE: Testing after a meal can show how the food you ate affects your blood glucose. These results can be flagged as AFTER
MEAL and are usually obtained two hours after the start of the meal. Your health care professional may suggest another time
period or other use for this feature.
Recommendation
Add a meal flag to every blood
glucose result.
Select an appropriate comment whenever
you test under conditions that you or
your health care professional feel are
worth noting.
