Two weeks ago, when the very cute young asian girl was teaching me how to
use my new One Touch Ultra 2 glocuse meter in her very broken English, I
was a bit distracted. I got that a code needed to be keyed into the meter
the first time it was used, and the code was on the test strips cannister.

Nearly two weeks into testing, I noticed that the big old "30" that comes
up when the meter powers-on is not equal the the "15" that is on my
cannister of strips.

D'oh.

My wife took the time to try to search on the manufacturer's web site to
see what the implications were of using the incorrect strip codes. She
couldn't find anything, she said, and she's a major google-hound.

So I had my first meeting with my diatician today, and I mentioned it to
her. She said that she knows (of course) that it's important to key-in
the correct code, but she doesn't know why, nor did she know what effect
it would have on my readings.

Any clues?

I know! Since the code was 30 and it should have been 15, that means that
all my BG's were doubled!

Whoop!


Stick in a strip and wait for the number to come up then start pressing C.
Yours may use a different button but the trick is to have a strip in
themeter when you do it.
