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.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A meter adapted to determine an analyte concentration reading, the meter comprising a display adapted to display information to a user of the meter, the display including information directed to a post-meal test-time alarm that is adapted to remind the user to obtain a post-meal analyte concentration reading, and at least one user input mechanism adapted to allow the user to activate the post-meal test-time alarm. 
     
     
         2 . The meter according to  claim 1 , further comprising a memory device adapted to store the analyte concentration reading. 
     
     
         3 . The meter according to  claim 1 , wherein the analyte is glucose. 
     
     
         4 . The meter according to  claim 1 , wherein the post-meal test-time alarm is adapted to remind the user to obtain the post-meal analyte concentration reading after a predetermined amount of time. 
     
     
         5 . The meter according to  claim 4 , wherein the post-meal test-time alarm is adapted to remind the user to obtain the post-meal analyte concentration reading about 1½ to about 2½ hours after a meal. 
     
     
         6 . The meter according to  claim 5 , wherein the post-meal test-time alarm is adapted to remind the user to obtain the post-meal analyte concentration reading about 2 hours after a meal. 
     
     
         7 . A method for using a meter adapted to determine an analyte concentration reading, the meter having a display adapted to display information to a user, the method comprising the acts of displaying information relating to a post-meal test-time alarm, activating the post-meal test-time alarm via an input mechanism, and sounding the post-meal test-time alarm after a predetermined amount of time to remind the user to obtain a post-meal analyte concentration reading. 
     
     
         8 . The method according to  claim 7 , further comprising storing the post-meal analyte concentration reading. 
     
     
         9 . The method according to  claim 7 , wherein the analyte is glucose. 
     
     
         10 . The method according to  claim 7 , wherein the sounding of the post-meal test-time alarm occurs about 1½ to about 2½ hours after a meal. 
     
     
         11 . The method according to  claim 10 , wherein the sounding of the post-meal test-time alarm occurs about two hours after a meal.
