How to Reset an Ascensia Contour Glucometer

The Ascensia Contour Glucometer tests a small amount of blood to determine the amount of glucose in the blood. This unit is used at home by individuals with diabetes or hypoglycemia. The meter stores information on your last 480 blood tests to provide you with averages and past information. If you need to reset the meter, all of the information will be deleted and cannot be restored. Once reset, the meter will be restored to the factory default settings.
