The OneTouch Reveal® app is a free mobile application designed for individuals using OneTouch glucose monitoring devices. It connects wirelessly to specific OneTouch meters, enabling users to view, manage, and share their blood glucose readings conveniently on their smartphone or tablet instead of the device screen. This tool is primarily for people living with diabetes who utilize OneTouch meter technology.

Its key value lies in providing a more detailed and easily shareable view of glucose data compared to the meter’s display. It allows users to log meals, activities, and insulin doses alongside readings, analyze trends over weeks or months, and share data with healthcare professionals, fostering better-informed management decisions and communication. The app offers practical usage for tracking long-term patterns, simplifying the process of correlating readings with lifestyle factors, and streamlining data sharing for improved care.

App Features

Wireless Connection with OneTouch Meters: Easily transfer readings, trends, and statistics from specific OneTouch glucose meters via Bluetooth to your phone or tablet. This saves time by eliminating manual entry and provides immediate access to detailed data.
View Detailed Readings & Trends: Access not only recent glucose values but also historical records, including data from the last 45 days, visual trend arrows, and statistics like average glucose and time-in-range. The platform utilizes sophisticated algorithms to provide clear visual indicators of glucose patterns, aiding users and healthcare teams in evaluating glycemic control effectively.
Symptom and Event Tracking: Log relevant events like meals, exercise, insulin doses, or symptoms alongside your glucose readings directly on your phone. This integration helps you understand the impact of these factors on your blood sugar levels in real-time. For instance, after logging a post-lunch spike, you might connect it to a specific carb-heavy meal, helping you make better dietary decisions.
Data Sharing Capabilities: Seamlessly share your aggregated glucose data, reports, or specific readings securely with your doctor or caregiver via email or directly from within the app (if the device and app support this direct feature). This feature significantly improves communication and allows healthcare providers to monitor progress remotely or adjust treatment plans more effectively.
User-Friendly Interface and Charting: The app features intuitive navigation and visually represents your glucose data using clear graphs and charts (like glucose logs). This makes complex data easy to understand at a glance and facilitates pattern recognition without requiring specialized software. Diabetes management becomes more accessible, particularly beneficial for children or individuals who may struggle with interpreting numerical data from the meter alone.
Optional Feature: Reminders & Alerts: Depending on meter compatibility, the app can receive alerts if the meter indicates a low or high reading. Users often find this feature invaluable for prompt action when glucose levels are outside their target range, enhancing safety and proactive management, directly integrated into the daily routine.

Q: Can I use the OneTouch Reveal® app without a connected OneTouch meter?
A: While you can browse previously entered data and charts within the app, the primary function of receiving new readings and detailed glucose information relies on a compatible OneTouch meter connected via Bluetooth.

Q: Does the app replace my OneTouch meter’s display?
A: No, the OneTouch Reveal® app is supplementary, viewing data remotely, but the meter itself remains essential for performing blood glucose tests and potentially providing the initial calibration or calculation steps required for accurate readings.

Q: What happens to my data if I uninstall and reinstall the OneTouch Reveal® app?
A: Your data stored locally on your phone within the app is usually safe if you haven’t cleared your device’s data or uninstalled the app completely. However, data synchronization with cloud services (if enabled) may reset. Check the app’s settings for data backup/export options before uninstalling.
