mySugr 3.83.61_iOS Logbook App User Guide

Indications for Use

Intended Use
The mySugr Logbook (my Sugar 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 my Sugr 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 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

Getting started

Installation

Open the App Store on your iOS device and search for “mySugr”. Click on the icon to see the details, press “Get” and then “Install” to start the installation process. You may be asked for your App Store password; once you enter it, the mySugr app will begin to download and install.

To use the mySugr app you have to create an account. This is necessary in order to export your data later.

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

Average blood sugar
Blood sugar deviation
Hypos and hypes

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 connection

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. 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.

Below, you’ll find a list of log entries, with the newest log entries at the top. You can scroll the list up and down to see older values.

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 Ever sense)

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, some context, a mood, or an 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 target range
Orange: Blood sugar is not great but ok

Within the app you see a variety of tiles in eleven diHerent 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. The same icons are being used in the list of log entries. Markers and list items are also colored diHerently depending on the type of data.

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

When you create a new entry you can use tags to describe a situation, scenario, some context, a mood, or an 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!

In the first section, change your personal details and basic therapy information. 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!

Use the “My subscription” section to update from basic to paid memberships with more features. After subscribing, this is where you manage your subscription.

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 the names of them 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-hour period is shown in the upper right hand corner. The basal rate is visible in the graph, although you can hide it if you want.

On the “Food” screen you’ll find everything related to carbs. Change your carbs unit to fit your way of counting.

On the “Other settings” screen, flip the appropriate switches to decide if you want monster sounds on or oH, and if you want to receive a weekly email report and/or newsletter.

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 Mysuru 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.
f your device allows it, also remove the previous pairing to your smartphone from your device settings. It can produce errors (relevant for Accouched 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, 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.

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 visibility of CGM data in your graph. (Not available for Eversense CGM users).

3 Import data via NFC (Near Field Communication) (iOS only)

Pair your NFC pen

Select Connections from the menu.

Select your NFC pen from the list.

Click “Connect” and follow the instructions displayed in the mySugr app.

After successfully connecting your NFC pen you will be able to scan it to import its data.

Scanning your NFC pen (iOS only)

To scan your NFC pen go to the “My trend” section of the mySugr app and tap on the pen icon on the top.

Bring your pen to the top side of your iPhone until the check mark is displayed on the bottom sheet.

Marking your airshots (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 “airshot”.

The connected pen and smart pen cap cannot diHerentiate between an airshot and an insulin injection on their own.

To help you keep track of airshots in the mySugr app we introduced automatic and manual airshot marking.

Marking your airshots automatically (Connected pen & 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
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 airshots manually (Connected pen & Smart pen cap)

To manually mark an imported injection as airshot, tap on the insulin icon and select “mark as airshot”.

To manually mark an airshot as an injection, tap on the airshot icon and select “mark as injection”.

Export data

Select “Reports” or “My data” from the tab bar menu.|

Change file format and period if needed (mySugr PRO) and tap “Export”. Once the export appears on your screen, tap the button in the upper right (lower left since iOS 10) to access the options for sending and saving.
