Anyone know how to clear the bg history on an Ultra Mini? I was at a bachelotte party a few weeks ago with a couple other diabetics. We all used my UltraMini while we were out at the bars so we didn't have to carry all of our meters. It's not my usual meter, but I plan on taking it and using it at camp next week. I want to clear ALL the history on it before I start using it... anyone know how? I don't want to upload stuff after camp and have those other numbers on it. Help!

I understood these could be cleared using the Lifescan Software and the data-cable. No other way of clearing it.

Hmm. Well I have the cable... err.

What happens if you remove the battery???

Removing the battery does nothing. I had tried that before posting, as well as looking inside the battery casing for a small reset button (the kind you need a pen to hit). Most meters, if not all, hold memory when the battery is removed. But good thought.

I spent about an hour and half searching for an old disc that I knew I had (somewhere...) with the Lifescan software. Loaded it up, then because it's a newer meter, downloaded the program update to the newest version, then the additional driver for the UltraMini. Finally was able to clear it.

Thanks Eric, I had forgotten that was on the software...as I don't use it.

Now if MM would get their acts together so I could upload to Carelink I'd be all set. I would much rather use the mini full time than the ultra2 (size issue for me.)

My Freestyle Mini keeps a record of bg's for a 2 week period. If I want to clear it I just use a different meter for 2 weeks ~ then the Freestyle's 2 week average is back to 0. Good to go
