Flagging test results
You can flag test results to describe certain events
connected to the result or particular characteristics of
the result. You can only flag a test result while the
test strip is still in the meter and the result is being
displayed.
You can choose from 4 flags:
The Before Meals flag (apple symbol
) is intend-
ed for test results that you have measured before
your meals.
The After Meals flag (apple core symbol
) is
intended for test results that you have measured
after your meals.
The General flag (asterisk symbol
): You can
define the meaning of this flag yourself. For exam-
ple, you can, use it for test results that you have
obtained from alternative sites or after physical
activities.
The Control flag (bottle symbol
) is intended for
performance checks in which you apply control
solution to the test field instead of blood (see
Chapter 7).
