Navigating OneTouch DMS  
Keyboard and Mouse Pointer Conventions  
OneTouch® DMS is designed for users who know how to use a PC mouse for “point-and-click”  
operation. Your mouse and keyboard are all you need for OneTouch® DMS navigation.  
OneTouch® DMS uses standard Microsoft® Windows® keyboard, mouse pointer, and drop-  
down menu conventions:  
If you do this with your  
mouse and keyboard:  
You can do this:  
Point to a OneTouch screen icon with  
the mouse  
Get more information about a particular  
function.  
Point to data values with the mouse  
while viewing Reports  
Get more information that has been tagged to  
a data value.  
Click the mouse after pointing  
Make a selection.  
Highlight a word.  
Double-click the mouse after pointing  
Click the mouse while pressing  
the Shift key  
Make multiple selections that are next to one  
another.  
Click the mouse while pressing  
the CTRL key  
Make multiple selections that are not next to  
one another.  
For many OneTouch® DMS tasks, you have several options to achieve the same result. For  
example, to transfer meter readings you can:  
Click on the Download Meter Readings icon on the home screen, or  
Select Get Meter Readings from the Meter menu, or  
Click on the Meter icon on the Tool Bar.

OneTouch DMS Button Behavior  
The following Command buttons appear on several OneTouch® DMS screens. Their actions  
are common to all screens unless otherwise noted. A button is enabled (active) if the label on  
the button is in black font. A button is disabled (not active) if the label on the button is in  
gray font.  
When you click on this:  
You can do this:  
Add a new patient name and profile to OneTouch® DMS  
database. After clicking on Add New Patient, you will go  
to the General Tab of the Patient Setup screen to begin  
entering information. If you just created a new database,  
only the Guest patient record exists. Before you can  
transfer readings from a meter to a patient other than  
Guest, you will have to add that patient name to the  
OneTouch® DMS database.  
Manually add a new data record to the database. After  
clicking on Add New Record, the Software will remain  
at the current screen where you can continue to add  
data records.  
If you are modifying a data record via the Report screens,  
you may add other types of data records by clicking on  
the Add New Record button. This will activate the other  
Tab selections on the Manual Entry-A screen.  
Display a new report after updating patient name,  
date range, or Report format.  
Copy one or more database records to a separate file  
for storage. Archiving lets you manage the size of the  
OneTouch® DMS database by removing older data that  
you may no longer need to review. This way you can keep  
the database size at a minimum so the OneTouch® DMS  
works most efficiently.

permanently deleted from the database. Delete can  
also be used to delete a patient (and all of the patient’s  
records) from the OneTouch® DMS database.  
Save your data entries for the current screen. After you  
click on Done, the screen will close and OneTouch® DMS  
will take you back to the previous screen.

OneTouch® DMS Links  
Text hyperlinks appear on many OneTouch® DMS screens. Hyperlinks provide a fast and easy  
way to go to other functional areas of the OneTouch® DMS. Text hyperlinks (also known  
simply as links) are visible on OneTouch® DMS screens as dashed arrows followed by text.

OneTouch® DMS also utilizes certain data values (numbers, dates, times, etc.) and icons as  
links. They appear when viewing Reports. You may click on these links to go to a greater level  
of detail in the Report, or to go to the Manual Entry screens where you can modify or add data  
records. You can easily identify a data value link as any number or text that is underlined.

Installing OneTouch DMS v2.3.1 on Your PC  
You can use these installation instructions if you:  
Are a new OneTouch® DMS v2.3.1 user, or  
Are upgrading from InTouch® Software, OneTouch® DMS v.2.0, v2.1 or v2.2 in English  
to OneTouch® DMS v2.3.1, also in English, or  
Wish to uninstall OneTouch® DMS v2.3.1  
Notes:  
Do not use these instructions to upgrade to OneTouch® DMS in a new language.  
For example, if you have OneTouch® DMS v2.1 in Spanish already installed on your  
system and wish to install OneTouch® DMS v2.3.1 in English, be sure to archive your  
Spanish database (OneTouch.mdb from C:\Program Files\OneTouch\Data) in a new  
folder, uninstall the Spanish v2.1 and delete the C:\Program Files\OneTouch folder  
before installing v2.3.1 in English. Refer to the Archive topic in the User Manual for  
information on archiving your data.  
Do not use these instructions to upgrade from OneTouch® DMS Pro. OneTouch® DMS  
v2.3.1 is not compatible with databases created with OneTouch® DMS Pro.

There are two steps you must complete before OneTouch® DMS will work on your PC. The first  
step is loading the software onto the PC. The second step is linking the software to a patient  
database.  
1. To install OneTouch® DMS v2.3.1.  
Insert the OneTouch® DMS CD into the CD-ROM drive and follow the instructions for  
installing the Software Program on your PC. Some of the key screens are described  
here:  
a. Autorun screen -The Autorun screen provides links to two installations:  
Install/Uninstall/Upgrade OneTouch® DMS v2.3.1  
Install Adobe® Acrobat® Reader 6.0  
Notes:  
You will need Adobe® Acrobat® 6.0 or above to view the User Manual and Quick  
Reference Guide.  
If you choose to install Adobe® Acrobat® 6.0 first, you will need to return to the  
Autorun screen to install OneTouch® DMS v2.3.1. The Autorun screen should  
display automatically after inserting the CD in the CD-ROM drive. If it does not,  
you can invoke it in one of two ways:  
Reinsert the CD into the CD-ROM drive  
Access your CD drive through Windows® Explorer:  
– Right-click the Start button. Choose Explore  
– Click on the CD icon containing OneTouch Software.  
– Double-click on the OneTouch Software icon.  
– Double-click on Autorun.exe.  
At the end of the installation, you should notice a OneTouch icon on your  
desktop.

25  
b. Country Selection  
Select the country where you purchase your test strips from the drop-down  
menu. It is important to select the right country to ensure that your test results  
are presented correctly, because the calibration reference varies from one  
country to another.  
For users in countries not included on this list, OneTouch® DMS offers an “Other”  
installation option. This option requires you to select your glucose value  
reporting options.  
Different glucose value reporting options should  
be selected based on the OneTouch® Test Strips  
and meters used in your country. Select the  
reporting options that match your OneTouch®  
Test Strip product information.  
2. To connect to a database.  
OneTouch® DMS uses a database file to manage information. If you are not upgrading  
from OneTouch® DMS v2.0/v2.1/v2.2, in order to begin, you must identify the correct  
file to use. You have three choices:  
OPTION 1 - Start fresh by creating a new file to store data.  
OPTION 2 - Use data from an old version of InTouch® Software.  
OPTION 3 - Link to an existing OneTouch® DMS file.  
Notes:  
Please choose the required option with care. Choosing the wrong option may lead to  
inappropriate results.  
You will not have to repeat these steps once you have either created a new database or  
linked to an existing database. OneTouch® DMS will automatically link to that database  
every time you use the Software. If you reinstall OneTouch® DMS v2.3.1, you will have  
to re-establish the correct database link.

Note: Linking OneTouch® v2.3.1 to an existing database may take several minutes. This is due  
to the complexity of converting data to the new database format. It's also possible that there  
may not be enough disk space to perform a conversion from an earlier InTouch® Software  
database. In this case you will be notified and the conversion will not proceed. A message will  
prompt you to free up disk space and will indicate approximately how much space is needed.

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  
default Use Personal Settings will be selected. Here you  
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.  
General rules for entering glucose target ranges are as  
follows:  
Enter the lower limit for each Meal Slot in the From  
field on the left. Enter the higher limit for each Meal  
Slot in the To field on the right.  
Each upper limit must be greater than or equal to its  
corresponding lower limit  
Before-Meal and After-Meal target ranges can  
overlap  
You must specify both Before-Meal and After-Meal  
target ranges  
OneTouch® 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.

Schedule Tab  
OneTouch® DMS uses meal slots to organize data for Reports. The Schedule tab of the Patient  
Setup screen lets you customize the start and end time for 7 pre-defined meal slots for both  
working and non-working days (see Figures 2.5a and 2.5b). This way you can track and  
monitor your glucose levels and medications for specific time periods throughout the day,  
customized to your daily routine.  
Start and end times may be set for the following meal slots:  
Before-Breakfast  
After-Breakfast  
Before-Lunch  
After-Lunch  
Before-Dinner  
After-Dinner  
Night  
Note: To ensure that glucose readings appear in OneTouch® DMS Reports in the same meal  
slot that was used to store the readings in the meter, it is important that the meal schedule  
you set up in OneTouch® DMS matches the meal schedule stored in the meter. If the  
schedules don't match, glucose readings that are transferred to OneTouch® DMS may be  
displayed in an inappropriate meal slot. If any out-of-target readings appear in the wrong  
meal slot, this may lead you to misinterpret information when tracking and trending data.

Using the schedule to assign meter readings to time slots:  
When readings are transferred from the meter to  
OneTouch® DMS, they are tagged with a time stamp  
and are automatically assigned time slots. If you decide  
to modify meal slot times, you will impact only those  
readings that have not yet been transferred. Readings  
already in OneTouch® DMS will maintain their existing  
meal slot designation. For this reason, it is important to  
note if schedule times are appropriate before you transfer  
readings. It is also important to synchronize your meter  
Sep-08-05  
10:00AM  
104  
mg/dL  
clock with that of the PC (assuming the PC clock is correct), to ensure that future readings  
are slotted correctly. OneTouch® DMS will notify you if your PC and meter clocks are out of  
sync by more than 15 minutes.  
Using comments/events to assign meter readings to time slots:  
Depending on meter type, some OneTouch® Meters allow you  
to tag a reading with a meal slot comment. Such readings will  
be assigned to the same meal slot by the OneTouch® DMS  
application, even if they are taken at a time outside the meal  
slot range. For example, a reading with a “Before- Breakfast”  
comment/event would be assigned to the Before-Breakfast  
time slot even if it were taken outside that time slot. This feature  
applies only to the OneTouch® UltraSmart® and OneTouch®  
Profile® Meters. For all other OneTouch® Meters, readings are  
assigned to time slots using the actual time of the reading.

Displaying Units of Measure  
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT UNITS OF MEASURE  
Different units of measure are standard in different countries or regions. Milligrams  
per deciliter (mg/dL) is the standard unit used in the United States. The unit of  
measurement used in Canada, some European countries and other parts of the  
world is mmol/L. This unit includes a decimal point but mg/dL results do not.  
There is a significant difference in the glucose reading depending on the units of  
measurement, mg/dL or mmol/L.  
To view results in OneTouch® DMS the same way they are displayed in your meter,  
refer to your meter display where the glucose unit of measure appears with the  
test result. If you wish to view results differently from the meter, OneTouch® DMS  
can automatically convert readings for display without affecting the setting in  
the meter.

Displaying Results as Plasma Values or Whole Blood Values  
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PLASMA AND WHOLE BLOOD READINGS:  
All LifeScan meters require a sample of whole blood from your finger or arm to give  
you a blood glucose reading. But there is a difference in how certain OneTouch®  
Meters measure the amount of glucose in the blood.  
A few LifeScan meters measure glucose based on the entire whole blood sample.  
Others measure glucose based on only the plasma portion of the whole blood sample.  
Plasma is the liquid portion of the whole blood sample after the red blood cells are  
removed. Most clinical laboratories measure plasma glucose. There is a difference in  
the glucose concentration in whole blood and plasma. A glucose reading from a  
plasma sample is about 12% higher than a reading from a whole blood sample.  
So if you are using a LifeScan meter that measures plasma glucose, readings will be  
about 12% higher than those taken from a LifeScan meter that measures glucose  
from the entire whole blood portion.  
It's important to remember this difference when comparing glucose readings from  
OneTouch® Meters with measurements taken at the lab. Several OneTouch® Meters  
automatically convert readings to plasma values. Others may not, depending on the  
country or locale where the meter was purchased. See the table below for more  
information on each OneTouch® Meter.  
CAUTION: Due to the difference in glucose readings related to plasma or whole blood  
reporting, it is important to use the right test strips with OneTouch® Meters. That's  
because test strips are designed to work hand in hand with the way OneTouch® Meters  
measure glucose in the blood. For this reason, you should only use test strips purchased  
in the same country or locale where you purchased your meter. This will ensure that you  
are using the right test strips. As a result, your glucose readings will be as consistent and  
accurate as possible. Please refer to the documentation that comes with the test strips.  
Note: When communicating with devices other than OneTouch® Meters, the Software  
assumes that these devices are plasma calibrated unless otherwise specified.

General rules for creating glucose target ranges are as follows:  
The From and To values represent the lower and upper limits for each Meal Slot  
target range  
Each To value must be greater than or equal to its corresponding From value  
Before-Meal and After-Meal target ranges can overlap  
You must specify both the Before-Meal and After-Meal target ranges for each  
Diabetes Type  
Default values for glucose target ranges are provided for Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes  
Types only  
Global target ranges can be applied to every patient with that Diabetes Type,  
as specified in the General Tab of the Patient Setup screen

Notes:  
Default before-meal and after-meal target ranges are provided for Type 1 and Type 2  
diabetes. There are no default target ranges for Gestational diabetes or the three  
Custom diabetes types.  
As you set or change target ranges for each Diabetes Type, you are impacting the  
targets that are applied to all patients with that Diabetes Type who use Diabetes Type  
targets. This means you are setting the target ranges for viewing and printing Reports  
for each individual patient. It also means you are affecting the target ranges that are  
applied in the General Tab of the Patient Setup screen.  
Targets will shift if you switch between Plasma and Whole Blood.

Download Meter Readings  
Glucose readings transferred from the meter are saved in the database. Any Date and Time  
tags and any Comments or Event Markers associated with a reading are also transferred.  
Event Markers impact how glucose readings are organized and displayed in Program Reports.  
Once readings have been transferred, you may clear the readings from the meter memory.  
Before you can transfer readings or clear readings from the meter memory, you must first  
establish communication between your PC and the meter. Communication steps are covered  
below. Please note the following as you establish communications between the meter and  
your PC:  
It makes no difference which language the meter is using to display readings.  
OneTouch® DMS is designed to work with any language you have selected for the  
display.  
Only one meter can communicate with OneTouch® DMS at any given time.  
You may click on the Cancel button at any time to stop the process.  
If the meter Clock time differs from the PC Clock time by more than 15 minutes, a  
message box will appear. It will instruct you to make sure the PC and meter Clock  
times are the same and accurate.  
Caution: If you will be transferring readings from more than 1 meter (for example, one  
meter at home and one at work), make sure all meter clock times match the PC clock  
time. This will help ensure that your results can be compared to one another and are  
accurate.

Assigning Meter Readings to the Database  
Readings transferred from a meter must always be linked to a patient name in the OneTouch®  
DMS database (see Figure 3.1). Unless you selected Require name confirmation to get  
the meter readings in the General Tab on the Preferences screen, OneTouch® DMS will  
automatically try to assign meter readings to the same patient you transferred its readings  
to the last time. OneTouch® DMS keeps track of meter-patient assignments for every transfer  
by checking a unique ID number that's stored in the meter memory.

The rules for assigning meter readings to the database are as follows:  
You may transfer readings from a particular meter to the same patient as the previous  
transfer, a new patient, or a Guest patient.  
If you want to transfer readings from a meter to a different patient than before, you  
must have selected Require name confirmation to get the meter readings in the  
General Tab of the Preferences screen. You will be prompted to select a new patient  
name. Scroll through the names in the Patient field and select the desired one. If you  
do not see the patient name you are looking for, you may click on the Add New  
Patient link to create a new name.  
A Guest patient is a permanent entry in the OneTouch® DMS database. It serves as a  
generic patient name. For example, you can transfer meter readings to the Guest  
patient name for anyone for whom you want to generate a report but for whom you  
don't care if their records are saved in the database. Previous Guest entries are deleted  
from the database every time you start up the Software and each time you transfer  
new readings to the Guest patient.  
You may stop the transfer process by clicking on the Cancel button.  
Notes:  
If you are a new OneTouch® DMS user with a blank (empty) database, only the Guest  
patient name exists in the database. This means you will have to click on the Add New  
Patient button to create a new patient name for the meter transfer.  
If meter readings are not successfully transferred, an on screen message box will  
prompt you to check the meter/cable connections. For other meter communications  
problems, see Appendix C: Troubleshooting.

After readings are transferred from a device and saved to a patient file, OneTouch® DMS will  
display the following information:  
1. Total number of results transferred  
2. Number of duplicate results  
3. Number of unsuitable results. A result is reported as unsuitable when the record  
transferred from the device is invalid. Some examples of unsuitable results include:  
The record is missing date or time information.  
The record date is invalid (e.g. the 13th month in the year).  
4. Number unsupported results. Unsupported results are valid result types that are either  
not currently shown in OneTouch® DMS reports or include more information than  
expected. Some examples of unsupported results are:  
A new type of record, e.g. measuring lung capacity.  
A temperature value that is tagged to a glucose meter reading.  
Both of these examples are theoretical. The first describes a record type that is not currently  
shown in OneTouch® DMS reports. The second describes a result with too much information.  
In both examples, the data is stored in OneTouch® DMS, but not displayed in a current  
OneTouch® DMS report. Unsupported results may be viewed if a software driver has been  
installed on your PC that lets you display the data in a special report format. (See Add-in  
Reports under View and Manage Reports and Data Records).  
Caution: OneTouch® DMS assumes that a meter is associated with only one patient at  
a time. So when a transfer takes place, all readings are assumed to belong to that one  
patient. If you plan to have more than one patient use the same meter, make sure to clear  
the meter readings between transfers. This will ensure that data for different patients are  
not intermingled. Refer to the Clear Meter Readings section for information about clearing  
meter readings.

The Software database may include additional data records that cannot be displayed in  
existing OneTouch® DMS reports. These records may have been transferred from a newer  
OneTouch® Meter or a device from an authorized vendor. When additional records exist for a  
given date range and a software driver has been installed on your PC that lets you display the  
data in a special report format, OneTouch® DMS will provide the following cues:  
A hyperlink for an Add-in Report will appear at the bottom of relevant OneTouch®  
DMS reports. Click on the hyperlink to view these records.  
From the Reports command on the Menu bar, the drop down list of available reports  
may include an Add-in Reports option that will take you to the “Select A Report”  
screen. This screen will include links to any Add-in Reports that were detected by  
OneTouch® DMS during application startup, and where the user can select the date  
range and/or patient name.  
On the Choose Your Report screen, a hyperlink for Add-in Reports will be displayed  
if any Add-in Reports were detected by OneTouch® DMS during application start up.  
Rules for Viewing Additional Data  
The structure and content of Add-in Reports are defined by the software driver for  
the new device, and are not subject to the rules for displaying existing OneTouch®  
DMS reports.  
The Statistics Panel content will not include data that are shown in Add-in reports,  
unless the data is also included in existing OneTouch® DMS reports.

Using ToolTips (the “hover-over” feature) when viewing Reports  
ToolTips provide an easy way to display  
information that's tagged to a particular data  
value on a Report screen. This OneTouch® DMS  
feature is also very useful when viewing results  
that are represented by symbols rather than  
numbers, or that are very close to one another  
on the screen. To activate ToolTips, move the  
mouse pointer to a particular data value.  
A message box will appear with Date, Time,  
Comments, and other information depending  
on the result type.

Colors and Shading in Reports  
Several Reports use color, shading and typefaces to display data or to differentiate data when  
viewing or printing Reports.  
Viewing Reports:  
The following reports use separate cell colors and bold type to highlight individual  
readings that are outside the target ranges: Pie Chart, Logbook Report, Data List  
Report, Summary Report, and the Day View screens.  
Different cell colors are used for above target readings, below target readings, and  
hypoglycemic readings. A legend that explains the meaning of the colors will appear  
on every Report that has out-of-target readings.  
Insulin doses that were transferred from a meter are highlighted in regular type. Doses  
that were taken according to a OneTouch® DMS Regimen will appear in bold type.

Glucose Trend Report  
The Glucose Trend Report displays daily glucose readings for a selected Date Range (see  
Figure 3.6). This Report helps you easily track changes in glucose readings from day to day.  
Glucose readings are displayed as dots on an X-Y graph. Each reading is connected to  
the next with a dashed line.  
Note: The dashed line that connects blood sugar readings in this graph does not  
reflect actual glucose levels. Blood sugars can go high or low throughout the day  
especially around mealtimes, medication or exercise. Actual testing before and after  
these events is required to get a better picture of how they affect your sugar levels.  
Readings will appear in chronological order from oldest to most recent. The X-axis  
represents the date and time of the reading and the Y-axis represents the actual  
glucose level. All glucose readings for a particular day are displayed. When printing the  
Glucose Trend Report, readings are displayed as dots and are connected by solid lines.  
The shaded gray area on the graph represents the Overall (Target) Range. Any readings  
that fall above or below the shaded gray area are considered outside of this range.  
When printing the Glucose Trend Report, the Overall (Target) Range limits will appear  
as horizontal dashed lines.  
You may point to any dot to display the value, Date, Time, Slot and Comments tagged  
to that result.

Pie Chart Report  
The Pie Chart Report displays the percentage of glucose readings that fall above, below and  
within each Before-Meal and After-Meal target range. This Report helps you easily see how  
glucose readings compare with target ranges for each Meal Slot (see Figure 3.7).  
A total of eight pie charts will appear in the Report. These represent the Before-Meal  
and After-Meal breakdowns for each Meal Slot , one for Night and one for Overall  
Target Range.  
Pie charts for each Before-Meal and After-Meal pairing will appear side by side. This  
helps you scan for trends within a particular Meal Slot.  
Chart pairings are also stacked vertically so you can compare Before-Meal percentages  
and After-Meal percentages across all Meal Slots.  
The Pie Chart Report uses applicable Before-Meal and After-Meal target ranges to  
display an Overall Total range. The Overall Total pie chart provides the percentage  
breakdowns using all glucose readings within and outside the Overall (Target) Range.

Insulin Report  
The Insulin Report displays average glucose readings, insulin units, and carbohydrates by  
Meal Slot (see Figure 3.10). This Report helps you easily analyze the relationship between  
glucose readings, insulin dosing, and carbohydrate intake.  
The Insulin Report is composed of two graphs that are stacked on top of one another. The  
same X-axis (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Night Meal Slots) is used for both graphs. The Y-axis  
represents the actual glucose, insulin or carb value.  
The top graph displays the average glucose reading by Meal Slot. Glucose averages are  
represented as dots and are connected by a dashed line. Note: The dashed line that  
connects average blood sugar readings in this graph does not reflect actual average  
glucose levels.  
The bottom graph displays average insulin units and carb intake by Meal Slot. Each  
insulin and carb average is represented as a separate bar. If there are multiple Insulin  
Types for any Meal Slot, the averages will appear as side-by-side bars. Only Insulin  
Injection and Bolus amounts are used in calculating the averages. Pump Daily Total  
amounts are not included. Insulin data transferred from a meter or entered manually  
for any Meal Slot will override any insulin units defined in the Regimen Tab of the  
Patient Setup screen. Colors will be used to differentiate insulin averages for each  
insulin type, and to differentiate insulin averages from carb averages.

Date/Time  
OneTouch® DMS recognizes the date and time of glucose results based  
on how they were tagged by the meter. In some cases, meter date and  
time may have been incorrectly set by the user so that the calendar  
date sequence of results may not match the actual order that the tests  
were taken.  
In the Data List Report (“Since last transfer”), you have the option to  
display glucose results in the order that the tests were taken, rather  
than by calendar date. This feature is the default option in the Software.  
This feature is not available if you have transferred results from a  
OneTouch® UltraSmart® Meter.  
To view and print Data List Reports in calendar date order, first deselect  
this option in the Report Options tab under Preferences. Then select the

Modify Data Records (Edit, Omit, Restore, and Delete)  
OneTouch® DMS lets you make the following types of changes to records in the database:  
Edit records  
Omit records from Reports and calculations  
Restore records that have been previously marked as omitted  
Permanently delete records  
Editing may be done whenever you are in the Logbook Report, the Data List Report, the Day  
View screen of the Logbook Report, or the Health Checks Detail screen. Click on any of the  
time, value, icons or comment links provided on screen. This will take you to the Record  
Details screen where you may modify the data record. Many of the data entry fields will be  
pre-filled with the existing values. Make your edits as necessary.  
Omitting, restoring, and deleting data records may be done in the Record Details screen  
(similar to the Manual Entry screens).  
Note: The buttons that will appear on the bottom of the Record Details screens may be  
different than the buttons that appear on the Manual Entry screens. That's because you can  
only add (not modify) records to the database if you go to the Manual Entry screens directly  
from the home screen.

Editing Records  
You may edit OneTouch® DMS data records, but there are some limitations. Your ability to edit  
is determined by the record type and the types of data included in the record.  
If the data record :  
Then you can edit these data values:  
Was transferred from a meter  
Comments tagged to the record  
You may not edit any other data values.  
Was entered manually  
The Meal Slot tagged to the record  
Comments tagged to the record  
Date of record  
Time of record  
Record type  
Record value  
Unsupported results  
These cannot be edited.  
After you edit a data record, it is tagged as “edited” in the Status column that will appear in  
some OneTouch® DMS Reports. Footnotes at the bottom of the Report will indicate that the  
Report includes readings that have been edited.

Omitting Records  
You may want to omit a record that is misleading (for example, if a friend borrowed your  
meter to run a test). When you omit a record, it is marked in the software to be left out of  
calculations and reports.  
Note: Records transferred from your meter cannot be deleted from the Software. Omitted  
records will always remain in the database. The Omit function simply excludes omitted  
records from calculations and reports (except the Data List Report, see below).  
Footnotes at the bottom of reports will indicate if some readings that would have been  
included in the report have been omitted. If you want to view which records were Omitted  
from a report, go to the Data List Report. This Report shows all data records in the database,  
including those marked as omitted. If the word “Omitted” appears in the Status column,  
the record was marked to be left out of calculations and reports.  
In contrast: any record that was manually entered using the computer can be deleted  
permanently.  
Restoring Records  
You may re-include data records that have been tagged as omitted. When viewing the Day  
View screen for the date of the omitted record, click on either the comment icon or the time  
link on the row of the record with the “omitted” tag. Then click on the Include button in  
the Record Details screen. The omitted tag will be removed from the Status column of the  
OneTouch® DMS Reports.  
Deleting Records  
You may permanently delete some data records from the OneTouch® DMS database.  
Only manually entered data records can be deleted. Records transferred from a meter  
cannot be deleted.

Manually Enter Data  
The Manual Entry screens let you add new data records to the OneTouch® DMS database.  
You may also modify data records through the Manual Entry screens when accessed via  
the OneTouch® DMS Reports. The editing function is described in the Modifying Data Records  
section of the User Manual.  
There are two Manual Entry screens, Manual Entry-A and Manual Entry -B.  
The Manual Entry-A screen (see Figure 3.17) contains five Tabs labeled Glucose,  
Insulin, Oral Meds, Exercise, and Food.  
The Manual Entry-B screen contains only one Tab for Health Records (see Figure 3.18).  
On this screen, you may add diabetes-related health data. These data records can help  
provide a more complete picture of diabetes health status. Data entry will be similar to  
that of the other data records. Click on the Go to Other Records link to return to the  
Manual Entry-A screen.  
Both Manual Entry screens include a link to the other.  
Whenever you manually add a record, the following rules apply:  
Records will be tagged as “added” in the OneTouch® DMS database. This will  
differentiate the record from others that have been transferred from a meter. That tag  
will appear in the Status column of the Day View screen in the Logbook and Data List  
Reports. A footnote will also appear at the bottom of each Report where “added” data  
records are included.  
Records will include a “Time” stamp that is accurate to the nearest second  
The Software restricts you from adding duplicate results  
Date, Time and Result (value) are required data entry fields for adding any record type.  
Comments are optional.

Archiving/Retrieving Data Records  
Archiving lets you transfer data records to a separate file for storage. Archiving also lets you  
manage the size of the OneTouch® DMS database by removing older data that you may no  
longer need to review (if you select the Delete Readings After Archive option). This way you  
can keep the database size at a minimum so the OneTouch® DMS works most efficiently.  
You may restore archived data using the Retrieve feature (see Figure 4.0).

If you see these error  
You can do the following:  
messages on the screen:  
I see data in my patient's  
meter that is not displayed  
in the OneTouch® DMS  
Reports.  
The problem is most likely due to a meter date that was  
set incorrectly. As an example, if the year in the meter is  
incorrectly set to 2014, and the meter is subsequently  
used for testing, records in the meter memory will have  
dates in the future. When the meter is downloaded to  
OneTouch® DMS, the software may not “find” readings  
because the Software is looking for blood glucose data  
in the current year.  
The following suggestions may help:  
1) Use the Data List Report to see glucose readings since  
the last download. Select “Since last transfer” as the Date  
Range in the Data List Report. This will display all readings  
since the last download in the order in which the glucose  
tests were taken (as opposed to the calendar date order-  
which could have been affected by incorrect date settings  
in the meter). This feature is not available if you have  
transferred results from a OneTouch® UltraSmart® Meter.  
Or  
Select “Latest 14 days” when specifying the Date Range  
for viewing and printing Reports. This will show if there  
are any glucose results stamped with dates that are not  
the current year.  
and  
2) The data from the meter set to year 2014 are still in the  
database and in the meter. To prevent future problems,  
you should:  
Archive and delete the records with dates in the  
future  
Clear the meter so that the data is not downloaded  
again  
and  
3) Set the meter to the correct date and time.
