Attaching ags 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 dierent reasons to apply them.
Note type Recommendation Benet
Add a meal ag to every blood glucose
result.
Select an appropriate comment whenever
you test under conditions that you or your
healthcare professional feel are worth
noting.
We suggest you talk to your healthcare professional to see how meal ags 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 ag or comment to a result marked as a control solution test.
