Set a glucose target range for this patient for Before-Meal
and After-Meal periods. Target ranges may be specified
by Diabetes Type (select Use Diabetes Type Targets) or
customized for each patient (select Use Personal Settings).

the target settings that have been set for this Diabetes Type,
click on the View/edit targets link. This will take you to the
Global Targets Tab where you can make changes as needed.
Default settings for Global Targets exist only for Type 1 and
Type 2 Diabetes.
If you have specified the Diabetes Type as “Unknown”, by

will need to set target ranges for this patient. Note that you
can also select Use Personal Settings for Type 1, Type 2 or
any other Diabetes Type.

DMS calculates an Overall (Target) Range that
is used in OneTouch
®
DMS Reports. The Overall (Target)
Range extends from the lowest range limit to the highest
range limit. If you are using Personal Settings, you can
customize the patient's hypoglycemic threshold value.
