Adding Meal and Event tags
Your OneTouch Verio Reflect
™
Meter allows you to
attach a Before Meal ( ) or After Meal ( ) tag to
your current blood glucose result. It is important to
understand the link between blood glucose levels and
food. When you tag your test results with Meal tags, you
add information about food to your results. Your meter
uses this information in a variety of ways and displays
Pattern Messages, Mentor Tips and Awards. Talk to your
healthcare professional to see how Meal tags may help
you manage your diabetes. Consider the following
guidelines when Meal tagging.
• A Before Meal blood glucose test is taken just before
the start of your meal.
• An After Meal blood glucose test is typically taken one
to two hours after the start of your meal.
• A blood glucose test taken while fasting should be
tagged as Before Meal.
