4 Introduction OneTouch Reveal App LifeScan, Inc. The OneTouch Reveal app (application) is made specifically to work with the OneTouch Verio Sync Blood Glucose Monitoring System on the iphone, ipad, or ipod touch. The OneTouch Reveal app is a valuable diabetes management tool that can help you determine what your blood sugar test results mean. This allows you and your healthcare professional to monitor and adjust your diabetes care plan. The system uses Bluetooth to wirelessly send results from your meter to the app on your Apple device. Once a blood sugar result is sent to the app you can: Tag the blood sugar result with a meal flag. Receive High and Low Pattern messages. Add carbs, activity, medication data and notes about your activities. Manually enter other blood sugar test results. Review results on graphs. Share your blood sugar results with others for review and follow-up. Set reminders to prompt you to complete certain tasks. 2

5 Many of the navigational techniques used on Apple devices will also be used in the app (e.g., Tap and Touch Screen scrolling and data entry, pinch-to-zoom, pop-up windows, pop-up keyboard).

23 Getting Started 2 9. Wait for the device status to say Connected. Congratulations! Your meter and Apple device are now paired. Before testing, you must now initially sync the meter with the app. NOTE: The Sync symbol ( ) on the meter will continue to blink after successful pairing. Initial syncing of the meter and app You must initially sync the meter and app before you start testing your blood sugar. The first time you sync, the Apple device will set the clock in the meter. However, you will not see the date and time on the meter display until after your first test. The Apple device checks and updates the date and time in your meter each time you sync. Check the date and time on your Apple device often to be sure they are correct. For instructions on setting the date and time on your iphone, ipad, or ipod touch, see the user manual for your Apple device. 21

24 2 Getting Started NOTE: It is important to sync the meter and app before testing for the first time. This will ensure that the correct date and time are attached to your test results. Any blood sugar results from tests taken before your initial Sync will not be assigned a date or time, and will never be sent to the app. 1. Open the OneTouch app on the Apple device. 2. Turn your meter on. 3. The Sync symbol ( ) blinks on the meter display. 4. Syncing Data will appear on the app to notify you that the meter is communicating with the app. 22 Syncing Data

25 Getting Started 2 NOTE: The first time you sync, the app will display a Meter Time Difference message. Tap Yes to set the clock in your meter. The date and time will appear on your meter after your first test. Meter Time Difference Your meter time is out of sync with your device. Would you like to set your meter time to match your device? No Yes NOTE: If you tap No or do not act on the message, the clock in the meter will not be set. Any blood sugar results from tests taken before the meter clock is set will not be assigned a date or time, and will never be sent to the app. With your meter off, repeat steps 2-4 on page 22 to initially sync and set the meter clock. When complete, the date and time of the initial Sync will appear under Last Sync on the app Summary screen. When you begin testing, the date and time of your test will appear on the meter. NOTE: We recommend personalizing the app in your Apple device after initial syncing and before you begin testing your blood sugar. See pages for information. 23

26 2 Getting Started Syncing to send results wirelessly to the app After pairing the meter with your Apple device and initially syncing with the app, you are ready to begin testing (see your meter Owner s Booklet). Sync often to send test results wirelessly to the app. 1. Open the app on your Apple device. 2. Turn your meter on and make sure the Bluetooth symbol ( ) is displayed. If needed, press the meter button twice quickly to turn Bluetooth on. 3. The Sync symbol ( ) blinks on the meter display. 24

27 Getting Started 2 4. Syncing Data will appear on the Apple device to let you know the meter is sending results to the app. Syncing Data 5. After the Sync, the app will display a list of any new blood sugar results sent from the meter. Now is a good time to add meal tags (see page 37). Tagging results before or after meal helps identify patterns. Today 11/15/12 8:35 PM 11/15/12 8:00 PM 11/15/12 5:45 PM 11/15/12 2:00 PM 6 Results 129 mg/dl 190 mg/dl 69 mg/dl 120 mg/dl Done 11/15/12 11:30 AM 11/15/12 8:00 AM 60 mg/dl 90 mg/dl Example 25

28 2 Getting Started NOTE: You have the option to cancel the data transmission, while in progress, by turning the meter off or by tapping Cancel while the screen shows Syncing Data. Any interruption in transmission will cancel the transmission of all results. Results remain in the meter and will be sent to the app the next time a Sync is successfully completed. A pop-up screen will notify you if the transmission was not successful. See Troubleshooting, page 96. Blood sugar test results are always sent to the app in mg/dl. If mg/dl does not appear with the blood sugar result, contact Customer Service at (available 7 days a week, 8 a.m. 10 p.m. Eastern Time). To ensure that blood sugar test results are successfully sent from the meter to the app, check the following: The meter is correctly paired with your Apple device and initially synced with the app. The Apple device and meter are both turned on. Bluetooth on both devices is on (indicated by ). The app is opened either before or within 90 seconds of turning your meter on. There is no interruption during the Sync. 26

29 Getting Started 2 IMPORTANT NOTE If you plan to sync more than one meter with the app When sending test results to the app from more than one meter, it is recommended that the meters are synced one at a time. Each meter has a unique serial number that will appear on your Apple device when pairing. (The serial number will be shortened when you view it on your Apple device.) To sync multiple meters, follow these steps: 1. Be sure all meters are turned off. 2. Open the app on the Apple device. 3. Turn the first meter on and be sure Bluetooth is turned on. 4. Wait for the meter to transmit its results. 5. Add any desired meal tags to your results. 6. Turn the meter off. Repeat steps 1 through 6 to sync additional meters. 27

30 2 Getting Started Using the app to set/update the date and time in your meter The Apple device checks and updates the date and time in your meter each time you sync. Check the date and time on your Apple device often to be sure they are correct. For instructions on setting the date and time on your iphone, ipad or ipod touch, see the user manual for your Apple device. Time Change Prompt When the time difference between the meter and Apple device is greater than 15 minutes, the app can prompt you to match the time in the meter with the time in your Apple device. The following message will appear on the app: Meter Time Difference Your meter time is out of sync with your device. Would you like to set your meter time to match your device? No Yes You can turn the Time Change prompt (Meter Time Difference message, shown above) ON or OFF (see page 84). If you turn this feature OFF, the Meter Time Difference message will not be displayed. The app will always automatically update the time in the meter to match the 28

31 Getting Started 2 Apple device. For example, when Daylight Saving time takes effect, you can be assured the time in your meter will be automatically updated by the app. There may be instances when you do not want the app to automatically update the time in the meter. For example, you may be traveling to a different time zone for a short time and plan to maintain your diabetes treatment schedule based on your home time zone. Or, you may live near a time zone boundary and frequently move back and forth between time zones. In cases like these, you may want to control when the app updates the time in your meter. To prevent the app from automatically updating the time in your meter, make sure the Time Change Prompt Setting is turned ON. When the time difference between your meter and Apple device exceeds 15 minutes and the Time Change Prompt Setting is turned ON, the Meter Time Difference message will always be displayed, allowing you to choose if you want to update the time in your meter. If you take insulin, talk with your healthcare professional about setting the Time Change Prompt to best suit your needs when traveling. If the time difference between the meter and Apple device is 15 minutes or less, the time in the meter will always be automatically updated to match the Apple device. Turning the Time Change Prompt ON or OFF will have no effect 29

32 2 Getting Started on updates to the time in the meter when the difference between your meter and Apple device is 15 minutes or less. NOTE: Any blood sugar test taken before the meter clock is set by initially syncing the meter with the app will never be sent to the app. NOTE: Updating the date and time in your meter has no effect on the time (or date) stamp applied to results already stored in the meter memory. The new date and time will only be applied to new test results. Changing the date and time in the meter can affect Pattern messages. See pages and for more information. 30

70 5 Patterns Detecting Patterns The app can let you know when your blood glucose results develop a pattern below the Low limit or above the Before Meal High limit you set in the app. In the Patterns log, a red message icon ( ) identifies a HIGH Pattern and a LOW Pattern is identified by a blue message icon ( ). 68

71 Patterns 5 See pages for information on setting your Low and Before Meal High limits. Patterns are stored and displayed for the most recent 14-Day period only. High Pattern High Limit Before Meal High Limit Low Pattern Low Limit NOTE: Test results that are HI (above 600 mg/dl) and LO (below 20 mg/dl) are included in Patterns. A single blood sugar test result can only be included in one Pattern. Manually entered blood sugar test results are not included in Patterns. Changing your Before Meal High and Low limits will reset the Patterns tool. When you change either limit, the app will only use blood sugar results taken after the change to detect and display new Patterns. 69

72 5 Patterns Pattern messages provide information from past results and may help you to identify a need to consider making therapy or lifestyle adjustments. Always consult your healthcare professional before making significant changes to your diabetes care plan. Every time a blood sugar test result is sent from your meter to the app, the app searches for any new Patterns. Patterns are identified based on the time of day the test was taken. For a group of results to be considered a Pattern, the time of day for each result must be within 3 hours of each other. High Pattern A High Pattern will only include results tagged Before Meal. A High Pattern message appears when your app detects a minimum of 3 results within a 5-day period that are over the Before Meal High limit set in your app. 70

73 Patterns 5 Low Pattern A Low Pattern message appears when your app detects a minimum of 2 results within a 5-day period that are below the Low limit set in your app. No tagging is needed to trigger a Low Pattern. NOTE: Patterns can be affected when the time of day is changed in the meter (e.g., meter time updated to reflect Daylight Saving Time). What are limits and how are they used? Limits Definition How it Affects Patterns Low High Before Meal High The lower end of your Target Range The upper end of your Target Range The upper limit for your Before Meal range (applies only to results tagged Before Meal) Establishes limit for Low Patterns ( ) This limit not used for Patterns Establishes limit for High Patterns ( ) How Appears in Logbook & Graphs Readings below this limit are shown in blue Readings above this limit are shown in red Readings above this limit are shown in red (only if tagged Before Meal) 71

74 5 Patterns m CAUTION Do Not use Pattern messages to make immediate and/or significant changes to your diabetes care plan without first consulting your healthcare professional. Do Not wait for Pattern messages to treat low or high results. Always use your current result for immediate treatment decisions. High and Low Pattern messages are based on Before Meal High and Low limits you set in the app. These messages are different than the HI and LO messages that appear when your blood sugar test result is above 600 mg/dl or below 20 mg/dl. Do Not let anyone else use your OneTouch Verio Sync Meter to test their blood sugar. Your Patterns may be affected if you allow other people to use your meter and those results are sent to the app. Your meter is for single patient use only. 72

75 Patterns 5 Viewing Pattern Details 1. On the Patterns screen, tap any Pattern message to view details about the individual results that triggered the Pattern. Each result is displayed along with any meal tag. Carbs, activity or medication data are also displayed, if the time stamp of these events is within 30 minutes prior to the time of the blood sugar result. Example HIGH Pattern Detail 2. Tap any test result to see any notes that were added. See pages for information on adding Notes to test results. 3. Tap Patterns to return to the previous screen. 73

76 5 Patterns Receiving Pattern Messages When the app detects a Low or High Pattern, a pop-up screen appears to alert you. Tap View Now to see the results that triggered the Pattern message. If you want to view the pattern at a later time, tap Later. NOTE: When more than one Pattern is detected by the app, the pop-up screen will notify you that multiple High or Low Patterns were detected. A High Pattern message will only appear after you have added a Before Meal tag to the results that trigger the Pattern. See page 37 for information on adding meal tags. 74

77 Patterns 5 To be sure that High/Low Pattern messages appear when appropriate: Make sure test results are sent to the app frequently, so that Patterns are detected on a timely basis, and the date and time in your meter are updated routinely. Results cannot trigger a Pattern message until they are sent to the app. When results older than 14 days are synced with the app, they will not trigger a Pattern message. Tag your Before Meal results carefully. When you change a meal tag, the app reviews all results to see if a new High Pattern should appear or an existing High Pattern removed. Be sure your Before Meal High and Low limits are set carefully (see pages 77-79). Changing your limits will impact Patterns for new test results. Test when you are feeling high or low. Be sure the date and time of your Apple device are set correctly. An incorrect time stamp can impact your Patterns. You may want to update the time in your meter if you change time zones (see pages 28-30). If you take insulin, talk with your healthcare professional about changing the time in your Apple device when traveling. 75

78 6 More You can customize several app settings to display information according to your personal preferences. App features can be turned on or off, depending on your needs.

79 More 6 Target Range (High and Low blood sugar limits) Your Target Range is defined by a High and a Low blood sugar limit, values that impact how blood sugar results are displayed. Test results above the High limit will appear in red and test results below the Low limit will appear in blue. Test results tagged Before Meal that are above the Before Meal High limit will also appear in red. The app only uses results above the Before Meal High limit or below the Low limit to search for Patterns. Changing your Before Meal High and Low limits will reset the Patterns tool. When you change either limit, the app will only use blood sugar results taken after the change to detect and display new Patterns. m CAUTION Be sure to talk to your healthcare professional about the limits that are right for you. When selecting or changing your limits, you should consider other factors such as your lifestyle and diabetes therapy. Never make significant changes to your diabetes care plan without consulting your healthcare professional. 77
