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, and feedback on your current therapy status and gives you rewards for staying motivated to stick to your therapy, and therefore increasing therapy compliance.

- Tapping on the Magnifying Glass icon on your dashboard allows you to search for entries, tags, locations, etc.
- Tapping on the Plus Sign 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 blood glucose measurements
in the graph and list.
The markers in the graph have icons, referring to the type of data. The same icons are being used in the list of log entries. Markers and list items 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 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.
This is where you make the app your own. mySugr needs to know some details about your diabetes management in order to function properly. A nice feature is that you have all your diabetes-related info in one place!

The “Blood sugar testing” screen lets you specify how you measure. You can select your meter or sensor. If you can’t find your specific device, just leave it blank for now – but please let us know so we can add it to the list.
Use the “Insulin therapy” screen to configure everything related to meds. If you take any oral medications (pills), you can enter their names of here so they are available to select when creating a new entry. If you use an insulin pump, you can enter your basal rates. The total basal insulin for the 24 hours is shown in the upper right-hand corner. The basal rate is visible in the graph, although you can hide it if you want.

Estimated HbA1c
The top right of the graph displays your estimated HbA1c –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
Import data via Bluetooth
- 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 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.
ATTENTION: Please make sure that the units shown on your device (e.g. mg/dL or mmol/L) match the units that are set in the mySugr app in order to avoid mix-ups.
Pair multiple meters of the same type
Select “Connections” from the menu. Select your device from the list. Click
“Connect another meter” and follow the instructions displayed in the mySugr
app.
Import CGM Data
Import CGM via Apple Health (iOS only)
- Make sure that Apple Health is enabled in the mySugr app settings and make sure that sharing for glucose is enabled in the Apple Health settings. Open the mySugr app and the CGM data will appear in the graph.
- Note for Dexcom: the Health app will display the Sharer’s glucose information with a three-hour delay. It will not display real-time glucose information.
Hide CGM Data
Double tap on the graph to open an overlay control panel where you can enable
or disable the visibility of CGM data in your graph. (Not available for
Eversense CGM users)
Import data via NFC (Near Field Communication) (iOS only)
Pair your NFC pen
Select Connections from the menu.
Click “Connect” and follow the instructions displayed in the mySugr app.
Bring your pen to the top side of your iPhone until the check mark is displayed on the bottom sheet.
Marking your airshows (Connected pen & smart pen cap)
- Before injecting your insulin, you may decide to clear all the air out of the needle. This is what we call a priming dose or an “earshot”.
- The connected pen and smart pen cap cannot differentiate between an earshot and an insulin injection on their own.
- To help you keep track of air shots in the mySugr app we introduced automatic and manual airshot marking.
Marking your airshows automatically (Connected pen and smart pen cap) After the first imported injection from your connected pen and smart pen cap, you can choose a setting to automatically mark airshots.
Your options are:
- Don’t mark automatically” Airshots will not be marked automatically.
- “Mark every injection up to 1 unit” All injections up to 1 unit of insulin will be marked as airshots.
- “Mark every injection up to 2 units” All injections up to 2 units of insulin will be marked as airshots.
- “Mark every injection up to 3 units” All injections up to 3 units of insulin will be marked as airshots.
Marking your airshows manually (Connected pen and smart pen cap)
To manually mark an imported injection as an airshow, tap on the insulin icon
and select “mark as earshot”.
To manually mark an earshot as an injection, tap on the airshot icon and select “mark as injection
