Getting started

5.1 Installation
iOS: Open the App Store on your iOS device and search for “mySugr”. Click on the icon to see the details, then press “Get” and then “Install” to start the installation process. You may be asked for your App Store password; once entered, the mySugr app will begin to download and install.
Android: Open the Play Store on your Android device and search for “mySugr”. Click on the icon to see the details, then press “Install” to start the installation process. You will be asked to accept the download conditions by Google. After that, 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.

5.2 Home
5.2.1 If you measure your blood sugar with a meter exclusively (or you use a real-time CGM connection that is not Ever sense)
The two most commonly used features are the Magnifying Magnifying Glass, used to search for entries (mySugr PRO), and the Plus Sign, used to make a new entry.

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 hypes and hypos
insulin ratio
bolus or mealtime insulin taken

amount of carbohydrates eaten
duration of activity
pills

weight
blood pressure

5.2.2 If you use an Ever sense real-time CGM connection
At the top you can see the most recent CGM value. If the value is 10 minutes old or older, a red label tells you how old the value is.

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. When you do this, the big CGM value is replaced by a smaller number, showing you the CGM values from the past. 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.

5.3 Explanation of terms, icons and colors
5.3.1 If you measure your blood sugar with a meter exclusively (or you use a real-time CGM connection that is not Ever sense)
1) Tapping on the Magnifying Glass Magnifying Glass icon on your dashboard allows you to search for entries, tags, locations, etc.
2) Tapping on the Plus Sign 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 different shapes:

1) Blood sugar
2) Weight
3) HbA1c
4) Ketones
5) Bolus insulin
6) Basal insulin
7) Pills
8) Food
9) Activity
10) Steps
11) Blood pressure

5.3.2 If you use an Ever sense real-time CGM connection
Tapping on the Plus Sign 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. Markers are also colored differently depending on the type of data.
1) Drop: Blood sugar measurement
2) Syringe: Bolus insulin injection
3) Apple: Carbs
4) 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

5.4 Proﬁle
Use the “More” menu in the tab bar to access Proﬁle & Settings.

Change your personal, therapy and application settings. If you wish, you can enter more speciﬁc details about you, your diabetes type, and your diabetes diagnosis date. Change password at the bottom if needed.

Enter your name, email address, gender and date of birth. If you need to change your email address in the future, here is where it happens. 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!

mySugr needs to know some details about your diabetes management in order to function properly. For example, your blood sugar units (mg/ld. or mmol/L), how you measure your carbohydrates, and how you deliver your insulin (pump, pen/syringes, or no insulin). If you use an insulin pump, you can enter your basal rates, decide if you’d like them displayed on the graphs, and if you want them displayed in 30-minute increments. 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 desired, you can also enter many other details (age, type of diabetes, target BG ranges, target weight, etc.). You can even enter details about your diabetes devices. If you can’t ﬁnd your speciﬁc device, just leave it blank for now – but please let us know so we can get it added to the list.

Total basal insulin for the 24-hour period is shown in the upper right hand corner. Tap the green check mark (upper right corner) to save your basal rates or the “x” (upper left corner) to cancel and return to the settings screen.

Deﬁne your diabetes devices and meds here. Don’t see your device or med on the list? Don’t worry, you can skip it – but please let us know so we can add it. Flip the appropriate switch to decide if you want monster sounds on or o , and if you want to receive a weekly email report. You can also change the settings of the Bolus Calculator (if available in your country).

5.5 App behavior when changing the time zone
5.5.1 If you measure your blood sugar with a meter exclusively (or you use a real-time CGM connection that is not Ever sense)

In the graph, log entries are ordered based on the local time.
The time scale of the graph is set to the time zone of the phone.
In the list, log entries are ordered based on the local time and the time label of the log entry in the list is set to the time zone the entry was created in. If an entry was created in a time zone different to the phone’s current time zone, an additional label is shown which indicates in which time zone this entry was created (see GMT offset time zones, “GMT” stands for Greenwich Mean Time).

5.5.2 If you use an Ever sense real-time CGM connection

In the graph and list, log entries and CGM entries are always ordered by their absolute time (UTC time), this means the chronology of events stays intact.
The time scale of the graph is set to the time zone of the phone. All CGM entries and log entries in the graph are set to a time as if they were in the current time zone.
In contrast, the time label of a log entry in the list is set to the time zone the entry was created in. If an entry was created in a time zone different to the phone’s current time
zone, an additional label is shown which indicates in which time zone this entry was created (see GMT offset time zones, “GMT” stands for Greenwich Mean Time).
