About Your New System

The OneTouch® Ultra® System uses the latest blood glucose monitoring technology. It measures the glucose content of a blood sample by means of an electrical current produced in the test strip and measured by the meter. Test results are “plasma-calibrated.” This makes it easier for you

and your diabetes-care team to compare your meter results with laboratory tests. If you have been using another type of meter–one that provides whole-blood results–you may notice that your test results with the OneTouch® Ultra®

System are about 12 % higher.
