First Claim
1. A method of operating an analyte measurement device having a display, user interface, plurality of user interface buttons, and processor connected thereto, the method comprising:
- pressing one of the user interface buttons to enter a menu mode;
pressing another of the user interface buttons to select the option of enabling or disabling user selectable flags;
activating the one of the user interface buttons to confirm the selection of enabling or disabling user selectable flags;
measuring an analyte with the analyte measurement device;
displaying a value representative of the analyte;
if the user selectable flag has been enabled then upon pressing the one of two user interface buttons, at least one user selectable flag is selected; 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.

2. A method of operating an anal to measurement device having a display, user interface, plurality of user interface buttons, and processor connected thereto, the method comprising:
-
pressing one of the user interface buttons to enter a menu mode; pressing another of the user interface buttons to select the option of enabling user selectable flags; activating the one of the user interface buttons to confirm the selection of enabling user selectable flags, in which the activating further comprises actuating the another of the user interface buttons to turn the user selectable flag on or off; measuring an analyte with the analyte measurement device; displaying a value representative of the analyte; if the user selectable flag has been enabled then upon pressing the one of two user interface buttons, at least one user selectable flag is selected; and confirming the selection of the at least one user selectable flag with the representative value of the analyte; and displaying the value and the flag on the display.
