Update Calibration Prompts
Once your start-up calibration is done, your update calibration schedule begins.
The steps to enter your update calibrations are the same as your initial calibration, including
entering values in only one display device. The only difference is, with update calibrations;
you enter your BG meter value just once.
Like the reminders you received with your initial calibration, if you don’t enter your BG meter
values right away, the system notifies you every 15 minutes.
