Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / October 2005One Touch Ultra: Average readings
I just noticed that the 30-day average on my One Touch Ultra never exceeds n=150, or five tests per day. In fact, it never varies from n=150. I routinely test 6-8 times or more per day. Why is that not reflected? Have you calibrated your meter? Have you tried manually writing down your results and doing your own average and comparing the results? >I just noticed that the 30-day average on my One Touch Ultra never > exceeds n=150, or five tests per day.

Yours only saves 150 readings, then tosses the oldest when a new one appears.

I couldn't find the manual. That's why I asked here. Anyway, the manual has since turned up and indeed, it only keeps the last 150 readings. Which makes a "30-day average" misleading. According to my 14-day average I'm testing seven times a day, so 150 readings only reflects about 20 days of testing. > the manual has since turned up and indeed, it only keeps the last 150 > readings.

And that 150 readings would be several months for people who follow some doctors' advice about testing only once or twice a day (or even week)! bj |
