First Claim
1. A method of operating an analyte measurement device having a display, user interface, processor and user interface buttons, the method consisting of:
- measuring an analyte with the analyte measurement device;
displaying a value representative of the analyte;
activating only one of the user interface buttons once to provide a display of at least one of a plurality of user selectable flags after the displaying of the value; and
pressing one of two user interface buttons to select the at least one user selectable flag; and

Abstract
A meter is provided that includes an improved user interface that enables the user to take a specific action, leading them directly to data input options. Such a user interface could be used to input first selected information, such as whether a test was premeal or postmeal, immediately after receiving a result. Optionally, the user interface may include the ability to add an additional comment after inputting the first selected information. Provision of such a user interface would facilitate simpler capture of the first selected information each time the user performs a test, leading to an enhanced understanding of a patient'"'"'s level of glycemic control. Designing a user interface to enable first selected information to be entered by a user directly after receiving a result is more likely to engage a patient by making it easy and simple to enter important information. This may enable capture of the information thought to be most pertinent e.g. premeal and postmeal information, enhancing the understanding by patients and their carers of the patient'"'"'s control.
