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.

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:

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

Orange: Blood sugar is not great but ok

Within the app you see a variety of tiles in eleven di?erent shapes:

The home screen 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 mySugr 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 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, 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.

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

Pair your NFC pen

Select Connections from the menu.

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)

Before injecting your insulin, you may decide to clear all theair out of the needle. This is what we call a priming dose or an “airshot”.
The connected pen cannot di?erentiate between an airshot and an insulin injection on its 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)
After the first imported injection from your connected pen, 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 upto 1 unit of insulin will be marked as airshots.
“Mark every injection up to 2 units” All injectionsup 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)

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.
