Virta recommends using the Virta App to enter meal marker details versus relying on the meter settings for the best user experience. Use the features below at your own convenience.
- Meal Markers: after setting the test alarm functions, the symbols of an apple and an apple core will begin flashing, along with the word “On.” This allows you to tag your reading for Before or After a meal. Press the side buttons to turn the meal marker function on or off, then press the power button twice to set
-
Hypoglycemia (Hypo) warning: after setting the meal marker, you can set the hypo alarm, which indicates a possible hypoglycemic condition (or low blood sugar level). “Hypo” will be flashing on the display along with “On.” Press the side button to turn the Hypo alarm function On or Off and press the power button twice to set
- If you select the hypo alarm “On,” the display shows 70 mg/dL with the symbol of “GLU” on the display. Press the power button to set or adjust the glucose level up or down with the buttons on the side of the meter. Press the power button twice again to set
-
Ketone Warning: after the hypo warning setting has been completed, the word, “Ketone” will flash on the display, along with the word “On.” Press the side buttons to turn the Ketone Warning on or off, and press the power button twice to set
- If you turn Ketone Warning on, the symbol will appear with the other symbols that you have set before. After setting the Ketone Warning, the screen will show all symbols which you have set before. Press the power button and the meter will be turned off
Settings can ONLY be changed while the meter is in the setting mode. To change settings, press and hold the power button when the meter is powered off and then return to the beginning of the setting series as described above.
