Analyte testing method and system
First Claim
1. A method of operating an analyte measurement device having a display, user interface, processor, memory and user interface buttons, the method comprising:
- measuring an analyte with the analyte measurement device;
displaying a value representative of the analyte;
automatically displaying by the analyte measurement device one of a plurality of predetermined flags that includes a before meal flag, an after meal flag, a fasting flag, or a blank flag depending on when the measuring step is taken during a day by the analyte measurement device, including a fasting flag being set as a default flag whenever a measurement is taken in an early morning period as determined by an internal clock of the measurement device and further including before meal or after meal flag set as a default flag near meal times as determined by the internal clock of the measurement device;
querying a user to select the one predetermined flag shown on the display by the displaying step to associate the one predetermined flag with the value; and
pressing only one of the user interface buttons once to store the one predetermined flag with the value of the analyte in the memory of the device.

Abstract
Described and illustrated herein is an exemplary method of operating an analyte measurement device having a display, user interface, processor, memory, and user interface buttons. Such method can be achieved by measuring an analyte with the analyte measurement device, displaying a value representative of the analyte, querying a user to select a predetermined flag to associate the predetermined flag with the value, and pressing only one of the user interface buttons once to store the predetermined flag with the value in the memory of the analyte measurement device. In one embodiment, the testing device is a glucose meter and the analyte being tested is glucose.
