The mySugr Pump Control software is intended to be used as an aid in
diabetes therapy. It is intended to remotely control a compatible insulin pump
used by people with diabetes. The mySugr Pump Control software uses wireless
communication to communicate with connected pumps, to read data, make changes
to the pump’s settings, and to manage insulin delivery based on your input.
1.2 Who is the mySugr pump control for?
mySugr Pump Control is designed for users:
- diagnosed with insulin-dependent diabetes
- aged 18 years and above
- undergoing insulin pump therapy
- who have been trained on their insulin pump
- under the guidance of a doctor or other healthcare professional
- who are physically and mentally able to independently manage their diabetes therapy

As a mobile application, mySugr Pump Control can be used in any environment
where you would typically and safely use a smartphone.

Contraindications, however the Contraindications stated in the instructions
for use of the connected insulin pump apply.
Warnings
3.1 Medical Advice
The mySugr Pump Control is used to support the treatment of diabetes, however
it cannot replace regular visits to a doctor/diabetes care team. You still
require professional and regular review of long-term blood glucose values
(HbA1c).
You are responsible for continued self-management of blood glucose,
independent of the use of the mySugr Pump Control.
3.2 Inputting the correct data
The mySugr Pump Control depends on the accuracy of the information entered.
You are always responsible for verifying settings and insulin doses. If
incorrect information is used for administering insulin doses, there is a
risk of severe
worsening of your health and even death.
3.3 Recommended Updates
To ensure safe and optimized running of mySugr Pump Control, it is recommended
that you install software updates as soon as they are available.
3.4 Glucose monitoring
Monitoring of glucose results should be conducted using a glucose monitoring
device that is compatible with insulin pump therapy. You can manually input
data or import data via bluetooth functionality.
3.5 Smartphone security and maintenance
To enhance security when using mySugr Pump Control and to ensure that you
are the only one with access, it is required that you have an authentication
method (unlock mechanism) installed on your smartphone. Only choose a strong
password or other strong authentication method and do not share your password
with unauthorized parties. Allow only trusted applications to have permission
to system services, such as Android Accessibility Services.
To ensure correct usability of the mySugr Pump Control, do not use the
application on a smartphone with a cracked or damaged screen.
To ensure integrity and security of the mySugr Pump Control, do not use the
application on smartphones that are rooted or smartphones that have a
Jailbreak installed.
3.6 Potential malicious messages
mySugr will never send you instructions relating to insulin delivery or pump
control outside of the mySugr app. If you feel unsure about any message you
have received, contact mySugr customer support.
Installation
The mySugr Pump Control is an extension of the mySugr Logbook (mySugr app).
Just download the mySugr app from the Google Play Store. For more detailed
instructions on installation and usage of the mySugr app, please check out
the mySugr app user manual.
Connecting and disconnecting your pump
5.1 A few things to know before connecting your pump
If a remote control, e.g., an Accu-Chek Insight diabetes manager, is connected
to your pump, disconnect it first. To keep you safe, your pump cannot be
connected to the mySugr app and to a remote control at the same time.
5.2 Connecting your pump
To connect your pump with the mySugr app turn on Bluetooth on your smartphone.
In the mySugr app, select “Connections” from the side menu in the upper left
corner.
Select your pump, e.g., “Accu-Chek Insight”, from the list. Tap “Connect”.
Then, follow the instructions on the mySugr app. After you have connected your
pump, go back to the mySugr app home screen, where the “My pump” widget is
displayed.\
5.3 Disconnecting your pump
To disconnect your pump, select “Connections” from the side menu in the
upper left corner.
Select your pump from the list.
Tap “Disconnect”.
Tap “Confirm”.
The “My pump” widget disappears from the mySugr app home screen.
My pump widget
The “My pump” widget on the home screen is the starting point for controlling
your pump using the mySugr app. The widget also displays the last time there
was a connection to the pump and when pump data was imported into the mySugr
app (1.
Tap on “Control pump” (2) to access the “My pump” home screen.
My pump home screen
On the “My pump” home screen, you can:
- Check the insulin (1) and battery (2) status
- Find out if your pump is running, paused or stopped
- Deliver a bolus (3)
- Check (4) or cancel (5) an ongoing bolus
- See the last delivered bolus
The icons for the different bolus types look like this (from left to right: standard, extended, multiwave): The icons for the insulin and battery status are colored in gray. If the insulin level or battery status is low, only the respective icon turns orange. If the insulin or the battery is almost empty, the icon is colored in red (see below).
Delivering a bolus
For now, you can only deliver a standard bolus. No extended or multiwave
boluses can be delivered.
To deliver a bolus, tap on the “+”icon in the bottom right corner of the
mySugr app home screen and then select “Deliver bolus”. Alternatively tap on
“Control pump” on the “My pump” widget. Once you’re on the “My pump” home
screen, tap on “Deliver bolus”.
IMPORTANT: In case you have not set up an unlock mechanism on your
smartphone yet, you will be asked to do so. This is crucial so that only you
and no one else can control your pump with your smartphone. Tap on “Open phone
settings” and set up your preferred option, e.g. your fingerprint. Afterwards
go back from the phone settings to the mySugr app.
Enter the insulin amount and tap “Confirm”. You must authorize the bolus
delivery. To do so, tap “Authorize” and unlock your phone using the unlock
mechanism you have set up.
The bolus is sent to the pump and the “Bolus” widget is displayed on the “My
pump” home screen. It shows the total bolus amount and the progress of the
bolus delivery. While the bolus is being delivered, it is not possible to
deliver another bolus.
To cancel the bolus delivery, tap on “Cancel bolus” on the “Bolus” widget.
Once the bolus delivery has been stopped, you can see how much insulin has
already been delivered. While starting or cancelling a bolus, a notification
outside of the mySugr app will appear. It will disappear automatically once
the connection to the pump was successfully established. A notification will
also appear in case there is an error during starting, delivering or
cancelling a bolus. Tap on it to check the details within the mySugr app. To
be sure that you will be notified, leave the notifications for the mySugr app
enabled.
Importing data from your pump
9.1 Imported data
Standard boluses, extended boluses, multiwave boluses, temporary basal
rates are imported from your pump into the mySugr app.
If the mySugr Bolus Calculator was used to deliver a bolus, the split between
correction and food insulin is preserved. Otherwise the boluses are imported
as correction insulin, but you can adjust the split in the log entry. Tap on
“Separate’, then enter how much of the total amount was food insulin.
Depending on what you entered, the amount of correction insulin is updated
automatically. Double check and tap “Confirm”.
In case you manually logged a bolus before delivering it with the pump, it is
automatically merged with the imported bolus if the bolus amount is very
similar and both happened within 15 minutes.
9.2 Data visualisation
You can see the imported data in the list of entries on the home screen of
the mySugr app.
For each imported bolus, there is a new entry with the date, time and the
number of units delivered. The number of units are shown within a tile as
shown below. Once imported, the bolus entry can neither be edited nor deleted.
