Reviewing past results, averages and
high/low pattern messages
Pattern Log
(high/low pattern messages)
High and low pattern messages appear when the meter
identifies a pattern of glucose results that fall outside
the High and Low limits you set on pages 18–22. 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 health care
professional before making significant changes to your
diabetes care plan.
Every time you test your blood glucose, your OneTouch
Verio IQ® Meter searches for any new patterns that have
developed over the past 5 days. 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.
• A high pattern will only include results tagged "Before
meal." A high pattern message appears when your
meter records 3 results that are over the High limit
set in your meter.
• A low pattern message appears when your meter
records 2 results below the Low limit set in your meter.
No tagging is needed to trigger a low pattern.
