Some meters have color markers that can be set to show your target zones. Your doctor or nurse can help you figure out your target zones, based on your readings when your asthma is controlled. You may need to check your readings for several days and then bring them with you to the doctor s office or clinic. Your target zone may be different than another person s because of your size, age and lung function. Talk to your doctor or nurse if you have any questions or concerns.
