TESTING

Meal Markers

During a blood sugar test, you can attach a Meal Marker to your blood 

sugar result when the Meal Marker feature in the meter is turned 

On. This feature lets you track your blood sugar levels over time with 

separate Target Ranges for Fasting/Before Meal and After Meal 

markers.

marker when testing blood 

sugar levels after fasting 

(no food or drink for 

8 hours, except water or

Range: 70 mg/dL–130 mg/dL

Before Meal: Use the 

Before Meal marker when 

testing blood sugar levels 

within 1 hour before a 

meal.

If you mark your test result 

as Before Meal, the meter 

compares your result against 

the Before Meal Target 

Range.

Pre-set Before Meal Target 

Range: 70 mg/dL–130 mg/dL

Symbol What the Symbol Means Comparison/Target Range

After Meal: Use the 

After Meal marker when 

testing blood sugar levels 

within 2 hours after the 

first bite of a meal.

If you mark your result 

as After Meal, the meter 

compares the result against 

the After Meal Target Range.

Pre-set After Meal Target 

Range: 70 mg/dL–180 mg/dL

No Mark Selected: Use 

the No Mark symbol when 

testing at times other than 

after fasting or before or 

after a meal.

the meter compares your test 

result against the Overall 

Target Range.
