mySugr Logbook User Manual

Version: 3.83.21_iOS - 2022-02-16

1 Indications for Use

1.1 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. Users can manually create log entries including information about insulin therapy, current and target blood sugar levels, carbohydrate intake, and activity details. The app also allows synchronization with other therapy devices, such as blood sugar meters, to mitigate errors from manual entry and improve user confidence.

The mySugr Logbook supports therapy optimization in two ways:

  1. Monitoring: By monitoring parameters in day-to-day life, users are assisted in making better-informed therapy decisions. Data reports can be generated for discussion with a healthcare professional.
  2. Therapy Compliance: The app provides motivational triggers, feedback on therapy status, and rewards for staying motivated, thereby increasing therapy compliance.

1.2 Who is the mySugr Logbook for?

The mySugr Logbook is designed for individuals:

1.3 What devices does the mySugr Logbook work on?

The mySugr Logbook is compatible with iOS devices running iOS 14.2 or higher, and Android smartphones running Android 6.0 or higher. It should not be used on rooted devices or smartphones with a jailbreak installed.

1.4 Environment for Use

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

2 Contraindications

None known.

3 Warnings

[⚠️] 3.1 Medical Advice

3.2 Recommended Updates

To ensure safe and optimized operation, it is recommended to install software updates as soon as they become available.

11 Import data

11.1 Hardware

Ensure your device is not connected to your smartphone. If connected, go to Bluetooth settings and remove the device. If the device allows, remove pairing from the device itself.

Select "Connections" from the menu.

Select your device from the list.

Click "Connect" and follow the on-screen instructions in the mySugr app.

After successful activation, blood sugar values are automatically synchronized with the mySugr app each time the device is connected to the smartphone with the app open.

ATTENTION: Please ensure the units shown on your device (e.g., mg/dL or mmol/L) match the units set in the mySugr app to avoid mix-ups.

Duplicate entries (e.g., a reading in the meter memory also manually entered) are automatically merged.

Extremely high or low values are marked as "Lo" (below 20 mg/dL) or "Hi" (above 600 mg/dL), with equivalent values for mmol/L.

After data import, a live measurement can be performed by going to the home screen and inserting a test strip into the meter.

When prompted, apply blood to the test strip and wait for the result. The value is transferred with the current date and time. Additional information can be added.

ATTENTION: Blood sugar values imported from a connected meter cannot be changed!

11.1.1 Pair multiple meters of the same type

Select "Connections" from the menu, choose your device, click "Connect another meter", and follow the instructions.

Before injecting insulin, users may clear air from the needle (a "priming dose" or "airshot"). The connected pen does not record the difference between an "airshot" and an insulin injection.

The app offers automatic and manual airshot marking to track them.

11.4.1 Marking your airshots automatically (connected pen & iOS only)
