Abstract

A method for using a meter and a meter (10) adapted to determine an analyte concentration reading, the meter comprising a display (12) adapted to display information to a user of the meter, the display including information directed to a post-meal test-time alarm (22″) that is adapted to remind the user to obtain a post-meal analyte concentration reading, and at least one user input mechanism (15) adapted to allow the user to activate the post-meal test-time alarm.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates generally to meters and methods of using the same, and more particularly, to a meter having a post-meal test-time alarm for notifying a user when it is time to measure an analyte concentration following a meal.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The quantitative determination of analytes in body fluids is of great importance in the diagnoses and maintenance of certain physiological abnormalities. For example, lactate, cholesterol, bilirubin and glucose should be monitored in certain individuals. In particular, determining glucose in body fluids is important to diabetic individuals who must frequently check the glucose concentration in their body fluids to regulate the glucose intake in their diets.[0003]Diabetic individuals often test their blood glucose levels via a blood glucose meter. Health care professionals recognize that it is particularly important for a person with diabetes to test his or her blood glucose level about t...
