Obtaining an ~A1c result
Before you can obtain an ~A1c result for the rst time, you must
perform the following steps in order:
[1] Create a “Pro le”
[2] Con rm that a “Pro le” was created
[3] Take “Fasting” blood glucose tests every day for the next 6 days
after your “Pro le” day
The MyStar Extra® will not show an ~A1c result if you did not
successfully complete these three steps.
[1] Create a “Pro le”
A “Pro le” consists of 7 blood glucose tests taken in one day.
• Take the 7 blood glucose tests using the “Pro le” Schedule. Blood
glucose tests must be taken within the speci ed time periods and
correctly tagged in order to create a “Pro le”.
• During a blood glucose test, the meter will suggest a mealtime tag
depending on the time of your blood glucose test. Make sure this
suggested tag is appropriate for the blood glucose test (e.g. pre-meal
reading is tagged with the pre-meal symbol). If the suggested tag is
not appropriate for the blood glucose test, you must change the
tag. A tag can be changed by pressing the (
) button on the meter
until the desired tag is displayed. Con rm the appropriate tag by
pressing the (
) button.
