The ONE TOUCH
®
Profile
®
System
takes ONE TOUCH technology a step
further with a simple testing procedure
and easy record-keeping features. The
ONE TOUCH Profile System is for
people with diabetes who need to
check (monitor) the level of sugar (glu-
cose) in their blood. This system is
widely available and can be purchased
without a prescription.
Why Blood Glucose Testing
Is Important
The Diabetes Control and Complications
Trial (DCCT), a 10-year study of people
with Type I diabetes, found that by
keeping your blood glucose close to the
levels of people without diabetes, you
can reduce the risk of complications
involving the eyes, kidneys, and ner-
vous system by up to 60%. Keeping
tight control of your blood glucose
requires frequent testing to know how
well you are doing with the factors that
affect your diabetes—medication, diet,
exercise, and stress management.
LifeScan developed the ONE TOUCH
Profile System to help you maintain
good control. In addition to providing
you with a simple, fast, and accurate
means of blood glucose testing, the
system includes features that allow
you to record and review important
information regarding your test results,

insulin dosages, meals, and other sig-
nificant events in your treatment plan.
To perform a blood glucose test, a
ONE TOUCH
®
Test Strip is inserted
into the meter and a small sample of
blood is applied to the test strip. The
meter measures the blood glucose
level and displays the result in just
45 seconds.
Please read this owner’s booklet care-
fully. It is your guide to receiving all
of the benefits that this advanced
system has to offer.
If you have any questions, please
call LifeScan’s Customer Care Line at
1 800 663-5521, 9
AM –8 PM Eastern
Time Monday to Friday. Thank you
for choosing the ONE TOUCH
®
Profile

System from LifeScan, a
Johnson & Johnson company.
In addition to this owner’s booklet,

INTRODUCTION
LSC-96-003 own. manual 7/26/97 1:45 AM Page 2

The following information may be use-
ful to you and your healthcare profes-
sional when using the ONE TOUCH
®
Profile
®
System to monitor your blood
glucose level.
If you experience symptoms that are
not consistent with your blood glu-
cose results, and you have carefully
followed the procedure described in
the owner’s booklet, contact your
healthcare professional immediately.
Never make significant changes to
your medication program or ignore
physical symptoms without consulting
your healthcare professional.
If the message hi danger appears on
the meter display, this indicates severe
high blood sugar (hyperglycemia);
contact your doctor immediately.
IMPORTANT: The ONE TOUCH Profile
Meter is not intended for monitoring
blood from newborn infants 0–4 weeks
old (neonatal blood samples).
Hematocrit: Extremes in whole blood
hematocrits, very high (above 60%), or
very low hematocrits (below 25%) can
cause false low results.
1
Reducing substances, such as Vitamin
C (ascorbic acid), have little effect on
blood glucose results when occurring

PRECAUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS

in normal blood concentrations.
However, abnormally high concen-
trations of reducing substances in
blood will cause false low blood
glucose results.
2
Do not use blood samples with preser-
vatives that contain fluoride (gray top
test tubes). You will get false low
results.

ONE TOUCH

Test Strips
The ONE TOUCH
®
Profile
®
System
measures the amount of sugar (glu-
cose) in whole blood. When blood is
applied to a ONE TOUCH Test Strip,
compounds on the test strip react
with the blood to form a blue color.
The ONE TOUCH Profile Meter
reads the color to determine the
blood glucose level.

Note: The ONE TOUCH

Profile
®
Meter has a number of settings you
can change, including the language,
time and date, display formats, and the
unit of measure. A description of all
these options and how to set them is
found in SETTING METER OPTIONS,
pages 63–73.
Coding the ONE TOUCH Profile Meter
Code numbers are used to ensure
consistent measurements by the
meter. For this reason, it is important
that the code is set correctly. You
must code the meter before using it
for the first time and then every time
you change to another vial of
ONE TOUCH
®
Test Strips.
Code the ONE TOUCH Profile Meter
in these three easy steps:
CAUTION: If the code number
on the meter display does not
match the code number on the
vial of ONE TOUCH Test Strips,
test results may be false.
