How to Reset a One Touch Ultra Meter

Portable blood glucose meters allow people to test and monitor glucose levels through small blood draws. Most of these meters use lithium batteries to ensure a long life. LifeScan manufactures a variety of OneTouch Ultra blood glucose meter products. Battery replacement can involve settings to be lost, so they must be reset after fresh batteries are input.
