mySugr Logbook User Manual
Version: 3.51_iOS - 2018-11-14

1 Indications for Use
1.1 Intended Use
The mySugr Logbook 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 which include information about your insulin
therapy, current and target blood glucose levels, carbohydrate
intake and details of your activities. Additionally, you can
synchronize other therapy devices such as blood glucose
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:
1) Monitoring: Through monitoring your parameters in dayto-day life, you are helped to make better informed
therapy decisions. You can also generate data reports for
discussion of therapy data with your health care
professional.
2) 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.

1.2 Who is the mySugr Logbook for?
The mySugr Logbook has been tailor-made for people:
diagnosed with diabetes
aged 18 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

1.3 What devices does the mySugr Logbook work on?
The mySugr Logbook can be used on any iOS device with iOS
10.3 or higher. It is also available on most Android
smartphones with Android 5.0 or higher. The mySugr Logbook
should not be used on rooted devices or on smartphones that
have a jailbreak installed.

1.4 Environment for Use
As a mobile application, the mySugr Logbook can be used in
any environment where there is an internet connection and
where mobile phone use is permitted.

3.1 Medical Advice
The mySugr Logbook is a registered medical device and 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
glucose values (HbA1c) and must continue to independently
manage your blood sugar levels.

3.2 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. The Web version of the Logbook
automatically uses the latest released version.

4 Key Features
4.1 Summary
mySugr wants to make your daily diabetes management easier
and optimize your overall diabetes therapy but this is only
possible if you take an active and intense role in your care,
specifically around entering information into the app. In order

elements into the mySugr Logbook. It’s important to enter as

5.2 Home
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.

Below the graph you'll see statistics for the current day:
Average blood glucose
Blood glucose deviation
Hypos and hypers
Below this you can find fields with information about units of
insulin, carbohydrates, and more. These fields are arranged
according to their order on the new entry screen.

Under the graph you can see tiles that contain the following
information for specific days:
blood glucose average
blood glucose deviation
number of hypers and hypos
insulin ratio
bolus or mealtime insulin taken
amount of carbohydrates eaten
duration of activity
pills
weight
blood pressure

5.3 Explanation of terms, icons and colors
1) Tapping on the Magnifying Glass icon on your dashboard
allows you to search for entries, tags, locations, etc.
2) 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 glucose levels of the
current day. The color of the graph adapts to the time of day
(1).

Each tag in the new entry screen describes 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 variable areas of the mySugr Logbook are as
described above, based on target ranges provided by the user
in the settings screen.
Red: Blood glucose not in target range
Green: Blood glucose in target range
Orange: Blood glucose is not great but ok

Within the Logbook you see a variety of tiles. There are five
different shapes representing five categories.
1) Blood glucose, weight, HbA1c, Ketone

5.4 Profile
Use the side menu 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. If you need to change your email address
in the future, this 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!

Use the "Membership" section to upgrade from the Basic to
paid memberships with more features. After upgrading, this is
where you manage your membership.

7

The "Checking blood sugar" 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 logbook 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. If you
want, you can set a body weight goal. When you log body
weight later, the app will color values appropriately to remind
you of your goals.

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

8 Estimated HbA1c
The top right of the graph displays your estimated HbA1c –
assuming you’ve logged enough blood glucose values (more
on that, next). Note: this value is only an estimate and is based
on your logged blood glucose levels. This result can deviate
from laboratory results.
HbA1c - what's behind this important test

In order to calculate an estimated HbA1c, the mySugr Logbook
needs an average of 3 blood glucose 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.

11 Import data
11.1 Hardware
Please be sure that your meter is properly connected to your
smartphone. Go to the Bluetooth settings on your
smartphone, turn on your meter, and wait until the two
devices have connected. If you are using the Beurer GL50 Evo
please go into the meter memory to activate Bluetooth.

Select "Connections" from the menu.

14

Select "Connections" from the menu.

Select your device from the list.

Click "Enable" and follow the instructions displayed in the
mySugr Logbook.

Following the successful activation of your meter, your blood
glucose values are automatically synchronized with the
mySugr Logbook. This synchronization happens every time
you connect the device to your smartphone with the mySugr
Logbook open.
ATTENTION: The blood glucose units of measurement (mg/dL
or mmol/L) must be identical in the blood glucose meter and
in the settings of the mySugr Logbook otherwise data
synchronization is not possible. If the settings do not match
they must be adjusted in the mySugr Logbook to perform data
synchronization from the device.

When duplicates are detected (for example, a reading in the
meter memory that was also manually entered into the
mySugr Logbook) they are automatically merged.

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

15

mmol/L.

After all data has been imported you can perform a live
measurement. Go to the dashboard in the mySugr Logbook
and then insert a test strip into your meter.

When prompted by your meter, apply a sample of blood to the
test strip and wait for the result, just like you normally would.
The value is transferred into the mySugr Logbook along with
the current date and time. You can also add additional
information to the entry if desired.
ATTENTION: Blood glucose values imported from the iBGStar
/ BGStar can not be changed or deleted!

Using a computer, login to your mySugr account at
hello.mysugr.com and find “Importer” in the side menu. Drag
the .csv file from your CGM program into the upload area. The
mySugr monsters will crunch the data and load it into your
account. It should only take a moment or two. Once it’s
complete, start the mySugr Logbook on your smartphone.
Your CGM data will appear in the graph as soon as the
synchronization is finished.

11.2.2 Import CGM via Apple Health (iOS only)
