When you see this:	You can do this:
Target Ranges	Set a glucose target range for this patient for Before-Meal
	and After-Meal periods. Target ranges may be specified
	by Diabetes Type (select Use Diabetes Type Targets) or
	customized for each patient (select Use Personal Settings).
	If you specify Use Diabetes Type Targets, the patient will
	receive the target ranges defined in the Global Targets Tab
	of the Preferences screen. If you would like to view or modify
	the target settings that have been set for this Diabetes Type,
	click on the View/edit targets link. This will take you to the
	Global Targets Tab where you can make changes as needed.
	Default settings for Global Targets exist only for Type 1 and
	Type 2 Diabetes.
	If you have specified the Diabetes Type as “Unknown”, by
	default Use Personal Settings will be selected. Here you
	will need to set target ranges for this patient. Note that you
	can also select Use Personal Settings for Type 1, Type 2 or
	any other Diabetes Type.
	General rules for entering glucose target ranges are as
	follows:
	■ Enter the lower limit for each Meal Slot in the From
	field on the left. Enter the higher limit for each Meal
	Slot in the To field on the right.
	■ Each upper limit must be greater than or equal to its
	corresponding lower limit
	■ Before-Meal and After-Meal target ranges can
	overlap
	■ You must specify both Before-Meal and After-Meal
	target ranges
	OneTouch® DMS calculates an Overall (Target) Range that
	is used in OneTouch® DMS Reports. The Overall (Target)
	Range extends from the lowest range limit to the highest
	range limit. If you are using Personal Settings, you can
	customize the patient's hypoglycemic threshold value.
