mySugr 3.92.58_Android Logbook and Continuous Glucose Monitor App

Indications for Use

Intended Use

The mySugr Logbook (mySugr app) is used to support the treatment of diabetes through daily diabetes-related data management and aims to support the optimization of therapy. You can manually create log entries that include information about your insulin therapy, current and target blood sugar levels, carbohydrate intake and details of your activities. Additionally, you can synchronize other therapy devices such as blood sugar meters to mitigate errors caused by manually entering values and to better your confidence in usage. The mySugr Logbook supports the optimization of therapy in two ways:

Monitoring: by monitoring your parameters in day-to-day life, you are assisted in making better-informed therapy decisions. You can also generate data reports for discussion of therapy data with your healthcare professional.
Therapy Compliance: the mySugr Logbook provides you with motivational triggers, feedback on your current therapy status and gives you rewards for staying motivated to stick to your therapy, and therefore increasing therapy compliance.

Who is the mySugr Logbook for?

The mySugr Logbook has been tailor-made for people:
diagnosed with diabetes
aged 16 years and above
under the guidance of a doctor or other healthcare professional
who are physically and mentally able to independently manage their diabetes therapy
able to proficiently use a smartphone

What devices does the mySugr Logbook work on?

The mySugr Logbook can be used on any iOS device with iOS 15.2 or higher. It is also available on most Android smartphones with Android 8.0 or higher. The mySugr Logbook should not be used on rooted devices or on smartphones that have a jailbreak installed.

Environment for Use

As a mobile application, the mySugr Logbook can be used in any environment where the user would typically use a smartphone and is therefore not limited to indoor use.

Contraindications

None known

Warnings

Medical Advice

The mySugr Logbook is used to support the treatment of diabetes, but cannot replace a visit to your doctor/diabetes care team. You still require professional and regular review of your long-term blood sugar values (HbA1c) and must continue to independently manage your blood sugar levels.

Recommended Updates

To ensure safe and optimized running of the mySugr Logbook, it is recommended that you install software updates as soon as they are available.

Home
If you measure your blood sugar with a meter exclusively (or you use a real-time CGM connection that is not Eversense)

The two most commonly used features are the Magnifying Glass, used to search for entries (mySugr PRO), and the Plus Sign, used to make a new entry.

Below the graph you’ll see statistics for the current day:

Average blood sugar
Blood sugar deviation
Hypos and hypers

And under these statistics, you’ll ﬁnd ﬁelds with information about units of insulin, carbohydrates, and more.

Under the graph you can see tiles that contain the following information for speciﬁc days:

blood sugar average
blood sugar deviation
number of hypers and hypos insulin ratio
bolus or mealtime insulin taken
amount of carbohydrates eaten duration of activity
pills
weight
blood pressure

If you use an Eversense real-time CGM V connection

At the top, you can see the most recent CGM value. If the value is 10 minutes old or older, a red label tells you how old the value is.
Below, you’ll ﬁnd a graph. It shows the CGM values as a curve, along with markers for therapy events. You can scroll the graph sideways to view older data. When you do this, the big CGM value is replaced by a smaller number, showing you the CGM values from the past. Note that to see the latest CGM value again, you need to scroll the graph all the way to the right.
Sometimes you’ll see boxes with information below the graph. They show, for example, when there is a problem with your CGM connection.

Explanation of terms, icons, and colors If you measure your blood sugar with a meter exclusively (or you use a real-time CGM connection that is not Eversense)

Tapping on the Magnifying Glass icon on your dashboard allows you to search for entries, tags, locations, etc.
Tanning on the Plus Sian allows you to add an entry.

The colors of the elements on the dashboard (3) and the monster (2) actively react to your blood sugar levels of the current day. The color of the graph adapts to the time of day (1).
When you create a new entry you can use tags to describe a situation, scenario, context, mood, or emotion. There is a text description of each tag directly below each icon.

The colors used in various areas of the mySugr app are as described above, based on target ranges provided by the user in the settings screen.

Red: Blood sugar not in target range
Green : Blood sugar in the target range
Orange: Blood sugar is not great but ok

Within the app, you see a variety of tiles in eleven different shapes:

Blood sugar
Weight
HbA1c
Ketones
Bolus insulin
Basal insulin
Pills
Food
Activity
Steps
Blood pressure

If you use an Eversense real-time CGM connection

Tapping on the Plus Sign allows you to add an entry.

The color of the CGM value at the top adapts to how high or low your value is:

Red : Glucose in hypo or hyper
Green : Glucose in target range
Orange: Glucose outside of the target range, but not in hypo or hyper

You can change the ranges on the settings screen. The same color coding applies to the CGM curve and to blood glucose measurements in the graph and list.

The markers in the graph have icons, referring to the type of data. Markers are also colored differently depending on the type of data.

Drop: Blood sugar measurement
Syringe: Bolus insulin injection
Apple: Carbs
A syringe with dots underneath the Basal insulin injection

When you create a new entry you can use tags to describe a situation, scenario, context, mood, or emotion. There is a text description of each tag directly below each icon.

Profile

Use the “More” menu in the tab bar to access Proﬁle & Settings.
Change your personal, therapy, and application settings. If you wish, you can enter more speciﬁc details about you, your diabetes type, and your diabetes diagnosis date. Change the password at the bottom if needed.
Enter your name, email address, gender, and date of birth. If you need to change your email address in the future, here is where it happens. You can also change your password or log out. Last but not least, you can give your diabetes monster a name! Go ahead, be creative!
mySugr needs to know some details about your diabetes management in order to function properly. For example, your blood sugar units (mg/dL or mmol/L), how you measure your carbohydrates, and how you deliver your insulin (pump, pen/syringes, or no insulin). If you use an insulin pump, you can enter your basal rates, decide if you’d like them displayed on the graphs, and if you want them displayed in 30-minute increments. If you take any oral medications (pills), you can enter the names of here so they are available to select when creating a new entry. If desired, you can also enter many other details (age, type of diabetes, target BG ranges, target weight, etc.). You can even enter details about your diabetes devices. If you can’t ﬁnd your speciﬁc device, just leave it blank for now – but please let us know so we can get it added to the list.
Total basal insulin for the 24-hour period is shown in the upper right-hand corner. Tap the green check mark (upper right corner) to save your basal rates or the “x” (upper left corner) to cancel and return to the settings screen.
Deﬁne your diabetes devices and meds here. Don’t see your device or med on the list? Don’t worry, you can skip it – but please let us know so we can add it. Flip the appropriate switch to decide if you want monster sounds on or off and if you want to receive a weekly email report. You can also change the settings of the Bolus Calculator (if available in your country).

App behavior when changing the time zone
If you measure your blood sugar with a meter exclusively (or you use a real-time CGM connection that is not Eversense)

In the graph, log entries are ordered based on the local time The time scale of the graph is set to the time zone of the phone. In the list, log entries are ordered based on the local time, and the time label of the log entry in the list is set to the time zone the entry was created in. If an entry was created in a time zone different to the phone’s current time zone, ar additional label is shown which indicates in which time zone this entry was created (see GMT offset time zones, “GMT” stands for Greenwich Mean Time).

If you use an Eversense real-time CGM connection

In the graph and list, log entries and CGM entries are always ordered by their absolute time (UTC time), this means the chronology of events stays intact.
The time scale of the graph is set to the time zone of the phone. All CGM entries and log entries in the graph are set to a time as if they were in the current time zone.
In contrast, the time label of a log entry in the list is set to the time zone the entry was created in. If an entry was created in a time zone different from the phone’s current time zone, an additional label is shown that indicates in which time zone this entry was created (see GMT off et time zones, “GMT” stands for Greenwich Mean Time).

Estimated HbA1c

The top right of the graph displays your estimated HbAic – assuming you’ve logged enough blood sugar values (more on that to come). Note: this value is only an estimate and is based on your logged blood sugar levels. This result can deviate from laboratory results.
In order to calculate an estimated HbA1c, the mySugr Logbook needs an average of 3 blood sugar values per day for a minimum period of 7 days. Enter more values for a more accurate estimate.
The maximum calculation period is 90 days.

Import data

Hardware

To import the data from your device you have to connect it with your ﬁrst. Before connecting, please ensure that your device is not already connected to your smartphone. If it is connected, go to the Bluetooth settings of your smartphone and remove your device. If your device allows it, also remove the previous pairing to your smartphone from your device settings. It can produce errors (relevant for the Accu-Chek Guide).
Select “Connections” from the tab bar menu
Select your device from the list.
Click “Connect” and follow the instructions displayed in the mySugr app.
Following the successful pairing of your device, your data is automatically synchronized with the mySugr app. This synchronization happens every time the mySugr app is running, Bluetooth is enabled on your phone, and you interact with your device in a way that makes it send data.
When duplicate entries are detected (for example, a reading in the meter memory that was also manually entered into the mySugr app) they are automatically merged.
This only happens if the manual entry matches the imported entry in amount and date/time. ATTENTION Values imported from connected devices cannot be changed!

Blood Glucose meters

Extremely high or low values are marked as such: values below 20 mg/dL are displayed as Lo, and values above 600 mg/dL are displayed as Hi. The same goes for the equivalent values in mmol/L.
After all data has been imported you can perform a live measurement. Go to the home screen in the mySugr app and then insert a test strip into your meter.
When prompted by your meter, apply a blood sample to the test strip and wait for the result, just like you normally would. The value is transferred into the mySugr app along with the current date and time. You can also add additional information to the entry if desired.

Syncing Time on Accu-Chek Instant

In order to sync the time between your phone and your Accu-Chek Instant meter you need to turn on your meter while the app is open.
