13. A testing device for testing an analyte in a sample of bodily fluid, comprising:
-
memory for storing analyte data; and
navigation means, wherein;
said sample of bodily fluid is usually obtained from a specific bodily location on an individual; and
said navigation means is adapted to flag analyte data stored in the memory if said sample of bodily fluid is obtained from an alternate bodily location other than said specific bodily location following a carrying out of an analyte measurement. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)

16. A method of storing analyte data in a testing device for testing an analyte in a sample of bodily fluid, said method comprising the steps of:
-
obtaining a sample of bodily fluid from a bodily location, said sample of bodily fluid normally being obtained from a specific bodily location on an individual;
measuring an analyte level in the sample of bodily fluid;
storing said analyte level in memory in the testing device; and
flagging said analyte level in the memory if said sample of bodily fluid was obtained from an alternate bodily location other than said specific bodily location. - View Dependent Claims (17)
