Diabetes Alert Meter

The key to reducing the risk of short- and long-term complications associated with diabetes is to minimize high and low blood sugar levels. However, for people living with diabetes, this can be a daily
challenge. Now, the new OneTouch? VerioIQ System with PatternAlert? Technology from LifeScan helps make it fast and easy to zero in on patterns of highs and lows, so patients can take action to
prevent them in the future. It is the first and only meter to display patterns of highs and lows right on screen. The OneTouch VerioIQ System is specifically designed to meet the needs of patients who take insulin because they are at the greatest risk of experiencing hypoglycemia (low blood glucose) and also test their blood glucose in order to adjust their insulin for meals and other activities. Evidence shows that hypoglycemia is a major limiting factor in achieving control of diabetes, and repeated hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) can lead to a number of long-term complications. Detecting and managing patterns early may help.

PatternAlert Technology Experts suggest that patients should look for a pattern of highs or lows lasting
at least 2 to 3 days in a row. Designed with this in mind, the OneTouch VerioIQ System features proprietary PatternAlert Technology to find patterns that are most relevant without producing excessive alerts.

With every test, the meter searches for high and low glucose patterns and notifies the patient when it finds one. Patterns are defined as follows:

? High: Three before meal Highs within the same 3-hour window over the past 5 days. High (before meal) results are preset to ≥130 mg/dL to match current American Diabetes Association guidelines but can be personalized to any result at >100 to 160 mg/dL.
? Low: Two Lows within the same 3-hour window over the past 5 days. Low results are preset to ≤70 mg/dL to match current American Diabetes Association guidelines but can be personalized to any result at <90 to 50 mg/dL.

When a pattern is viewed, a message appears such as "Heads up. Your before meal glucose has been running HIGH around this time." Patients can choose to view additional information about each
test result in the pattern such as the blood sugar value, the day, time, and type of result (before or after meal or any time). This enables the patient and their healthcare professional to more easily recognize the issue and take corrective action.

OneTouch Verio Gold Test Strip Designed for accuracy and precision, the new OneTouch Verio Gold Test Strip is the only strip that works with the OneTouch VerioIQ Meter. Together, this no-coding system exceeds ISO accuracy criteria and features SmartScan? Technology that scans each blood sample 500 times, correcting for common interferences and provides results in 5 s. The test strip features visual confirmation of blood application and requires only a speck of blood (0.4 μL) that
can be applied to either side of the strip.

In addition to its unique PatternAlert Technology, the OneTouch VerioIQ System has a number of simple, convenient features to help with blood sugar testing: illuminated testing area, intuitive interface, memory/ averages, and eco-friendly rechargeable battery.
