Reminders:
Here you can set whether or not you want
reminders to be accompanied by beeps (see Chap-
ter 4.5). If
Reminders
is turned on (default setting), the
beeps will sound.
Acoustic mode:
If the acoustic mode is turned on
(default setting: off), the meter guides you through the
blood glucose test with the beeps described above. At
the end of the test, the meter also announces the result
in the form of a sequence of beeps. The acoustic mode
is described in Chapter 6.
Visually impaired people should only use the
acoustic mode if they have familiarized them-
selves fully with the acoustic mode with the
assistance of a sighted person and have de-
monstrated that they are able to understand
results correctly without exception using the
acoustic mode. The acoustic mode should al-
ways be used with great care. Otherwise there
is a risk that the results will be misinterpreted
by the person performing the test. An incorrect
insulin dose resulting from a misinterpreted
result can cause considerable health damage
and can even be fatal. Especially if unexpected
and abnormal blood glucose values are obtained
using the acoustic mode, the result must be
checked by repeating the test together with a
sighted person.
Visually impaired people should not test their
blood glucose without assistance from a sighted
person.
