Setting the Hypoglycemic (Hypo) Indicator

You can set the meter to let you know when your result indicates a possible low blood glucose
(hypoglycemia). You can also select what blood glucose level you want this indicator to have (60–80 mg/dL).
As soon as a test result is below the level you have set, you see the flashing "hypo?" symbol displayed along
with the result. If the beeper is turned on, you hear 5 short double beeps (after the beep you hear when the
result is displayed). The 5 short double beeps are not heard when the beeper is set to off.
Before you set the indicator, talk to your healthcare professional to help you decide what blood
glucose level is your hypo level. Your new meter is preset to "OFF" for the hypo indicator. If you want to
turn it "On," follow these steps.
WARNING
This function is no substitute for hypoglycemia training by your healthcare professional or
diabetes team.
