Target Range
Customize your own target ranges based on the personal targets decided on by you and your healthcare professional for before meal and after meal blood glucose with Bayer’s CONTOUR® USB meter. It comes preset with a blood glucose target range of 3.9 – 7.2 mmol/L for before meals and 3.9 – 10.0 mmol/L after meals. Target ranges are your goals and help you better customize your testing regimen and treatment plan. It’s the first step in improving diabetes management.
