Overview
It is very important to have the correct time and date set in the meter. Having the correct time
and date setting helps ensure accurate interpretation of information by you and your
healthcare professional.
• You may add comments to blood glucose results to help you and your healthcare
professional analyze patterns detected by the meter (see the Patterns section in the
chapter Meter Settings for details).
• If Patterns is set to On, once a pattern is detected you may NOT change the comment
attached to a blood glucose result (see the Patterns section in the chapter Meter Settings
for details).
• Adding a comment saves the comment and the symbol with the blood glucose results.
