My Data
12.1 Overview
Analyzing your information stored in the meter is an effective way
for you and your healthcare professional to determine how well
you are controlling your diabetes. This analysis is a valuable tool
for making improvements to your diabetes management. The
reports the meter displays help you get the most from your
ACCU‑CHEK Aviva Insight Diabetes Manager.
The meter generates graphs and reports to help you analyze the
information stored in the meter. Graphs can be a good way to
view your blood glucose results. The meter can display a line
graph to depict the trends of your blood glucose results with other
information, such as your bolus history, a graph showing result
ranges for a standard day or a standard week, and a pie chart
with different colors to illustrate the number of test results within,
above, or below your blood glucose target range.
NOTE
Blood glucose is sometimes shortened to bG, but it means
the same thing.

12.2 The Logbook
From the logbook records stored in the meter, you are able to
view a specific blood glucose result with its attributes (e.g., meal
time, carbohydrates, health event, and bolus). In addition, for a
specific logbook record, you are able to change or add to its
attributes.
The meter automatically stores up to 2,000 logbook records with
the time and date. You can review up to the last 250 logbook
records on the meter or up to 2,000 logbook records using a
computer with compatible software. Logbook records are stored
from the newest to the oldest.
j Each logbook record can contain: Date and time
j Blood glucose result
j Meal time (events)
j Carbohydrate intake
NOTE
The logbook on the meter replaces the physical blood
glucose diary you may have kept in the past.
Logbook data cannot be changed if that data was
used to calculate bolus advice.
j Health event
j Bolus type
j Bolus amount
j Note
j Quick Notes

NOTE
Do not change your therapy based on one individual record or test result in the logbook.
This chapter shows sample screens. The screens may look slightly diferent from the screens on the meter. If you have any
questions about the meter screens, contact ACCU‑CHEK Customer Care Service Center at 1‑800‑688‑4578.
The information in the logbook is saved when you replace the meter battery. You should check the time and date after
replacing the battery. For more information on changing the battery, see the Care and Maintenance chapter of this user’s
manual.
It is very important to have the correct time and date set. Having the correct time and date setting helps ensure accurate
interpretation of information by you and your healthcare professional.
Once 2,000 records are in the logbook, adding a new record causes the oldest logbook record to be deleted.
Control results are stored in the meter, but cannot be reviewed in the logbook. Control results can be reviewed using a
computer with compatible software.
Before reviewing logbook records or control results on a PC, the stored logbook records must irst be transferred to a PC
running a compatible software application. For product availability, contact ACCU‑CHEK Customer Care Service Center at
1‑800‑688‑4578.
Control results are not used in any report or graph on the meter.

On the upper right side of the graph, the maximum bolus amount indicator is the pink tick mark with the largest value
shown beside it (on this example screen: 15 U). The purpose of this indicator is to adjust the scale for the top portion of
the graph based on the single biggest bolus insulin amount (callout #11) delivered for the time chosen (callout #6). The
maximum bolus amount indicator values available on the meter are 1, 5, 15, 30, and 60 U. For example, if the single
biggest amount is 8 U, then the meter scales the upper graph to be between 0 and 15 U.

maximum carbohydrates amount indicator values available on the meter are 40, 80, 120, 160, 200, and 240 g, or the
equivalent scale for BE, KE, or CC. For example, if the single biggest carbohydrates amount is 76 g, then the meter scales
the lower graph to be between 0 and 80 g.
On the upper left side of the graph, the maximum basal amount indicator is the blue tick mark with the largest value
shown beside it (on this example screen: 10 U). The purpose of this indicator is to adjust the scale for the top portion of
the graph based on the single biggest basal insulin amount (callout #12) delivered for the time chosen (callout #6). The
maximum basal amount indicator values available on the meter are 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 40 U. For example, if the single
biggest amount is 9 U, then the meter scales the upper graph to be between 0 and 10 U.

Electromagnetic Compatibility
Bluetooth® Wireless Technology
This meter meets the electromagnetic immunity requirements as
per EN ISO 15197. The chosen basis for electrostatic discharge
immunity testing was basic standard IEC 61000‑4‑2. In addition,
the meter meets the electromagnetic emissions requirements as
per EN 61326. The meter’s electromagnetic emission is thus low.
Interference from the meter to other electrically‑driven
equipment is not anticipated.
The meter utilizes Bluetooth wireless technology to
communicate and transfer information. Bluetooth wireless
technology is a form of radio frequency (RF) technology that
operates in the unlicensed industrial, scientiic, and medical

Appendix A: Bolus Advice Overview
Bolus Calculation
The bolus recommended by the bolus advice feature of the meter
consists of two components: a recommendation for a
carbohydrate bolus that covers your food intake and a
recommendation for a correction bolus to adjust your blood
glucose level if it is not within the target range. The correction
bolus can be positive if your current blood glucose level is above
your target range or negative if it is below your target range.
Carbohydrate Bolus
A carbohydrate bolus is the amount of insulin that needs to be
administered to cover the amount of carbohydrates you are
planning to eat. It is calculated as:
Carbohydrate Bolus = Carbohydrate Intake x Carbohydrate
Ratio
Where:
Carbohydrate Ratio = Insulin ÷ Carbohydrates
331

If your current blood glucose level is not within your target range,
a correction bolus is recommended.

The calculation for the recommended correction bolus depends on your
current blood glucose result, your insulin sensitivity for the current time
block, and whether you are planning to eat. Health event percentages are
applied to the bolus advice recommendation.

Other Boluses
Subsequent Carbohydrate Boluses
Correction Bolus After a Meal
If you are planning to eat several meals or snacks in a short
period of time, you should administer a carbohydrate bolus for
each meal. The calculation is always the same as a carbohydrate
bolus.
After a meal, it is normal to allow for a rise of your blood glucose
level even if you administered the correct carbohydrate bolus. The
allowed blood glucose level rise is called meal rise. After a certain
period of time (ofset time) the meal rise decreases from its
maximum until your blood glucose level has returned to the target
level. The period of time form the start of the meal rise until your
blood glucose level returns to the target level is deined as acting
time. During this time, a correction bolus is only recommended if
your blood glucose level exceeds the current meal rise level.

The dotted line shows how your blood glucose level might change after a

within the meal rise range (green) without calculating an extra correction bolus.
When you enter a carbohydrate amount that is greater than the snack size, the meal
rise setting is added to the blood glucose target value. The shape of the meal rise
(the width of the green area) is determined by the ofset time and the acting time.

Subsequent Correction Boluses
The diference between your current blood glucose level and your
target blood glucose level is called Delta bG. A correction bolus
administered according to the previous conditions covers this
diference for a certain period of time. As the correction bolus
starts to take efect, your current blood glucose level should fall
and the covered Delta bG decreases after the ofset time. At the
end of the acting time, your blood glucose level should return to
the target limit. You receive a recommendation for another
correction bolus only if your current blood glucose result exceeds
the current Delta bG level.

Appendix B: Bolus Advice Calculations
The Mathematical Basis for Bolus
Calculations
The following is a list of the most important formulas and the
calculation principles on which bolus advice is based. It is diicult
to accurately calculate a bolus yourself using these formulas
when the acting time and ofset time of recent meals and
correction boluses are considered.
343
52297_07167776001.indb 343
10/20/14 11:19 AM
Carbohydrate Advice
This calculation is made when the blood glucose result falls
below the hypo warning limit. It is based on the other values
deined for the current time block and the result is calculated as a
carbohydrate intake recommendation.
Carbohydrates = (Target Range Mean Value – Current bG)
x Insulin Sensitivity ÷ Carbohydrate Ratio
Where:
NOTE
j A minimum amount of 12 g (or equivalent BE, KE, or CC
units) is always given. If the calculated value is below
12 g, then 12 g is used.
j The carbohydrate advice is displayed in the carbohydrate
unit of measure you have selected (g, BE, KE, or CC).
Insulin Sensitivity = Insulin ÷ ΔbG
Carbohydrate Ratio = Insulin ÷ Carbohydrates
344
52297_07167776001.indb 344
10/20/14 11:19 AM
B
Carbohydrate Bolus
The following formula is used to calculate the bolus for meals:
Carbohydrate Bolus = Carbohydrate Intake x Carbohydrate
Ratio
Where:
Carbohydrate Ratio = Insulin ÷ Carbohydrates
345
52297_07167776001.indb 345
10/20/14 11:19 AM
Currently Allowed Blood Glucose Value
The target range average value used in the calculation of the
correction bolus, as shown below, changes with the deinition for
the time blocks.
When no meal rise or correction bolus acting time is currently in
efect, a value of “0” is substituted for these parameters in the
formula.
Consequently, the currently allowed blood glucose value is
calculated as follows:
Currently Allowed Blood Glucose Value = Target Range Mean
Value + Meal Rise + Sum of Blood Glucose Range Covered by
Correction Bolus
Where:
Meal Rise is from the current active meal
Sum of Blood Glucose Range Covered by Correction Bolus from
currently acting correction boluses
346
52297_07167776001.indb 346
10/20/14 11:19 AM
B
Correction Bolus
Generally, a correction bolus is only calculated if the current
blood glucose value is above the hypo bG warning limit and
outside the target range. If the current blood glucose value is
above the target range, the currently allowed blood glucose value
must also be exceeded. Only correction boluses greater than “0”
trigger a corresponding acting time.
The blood glucose correction portion depends on the following
requirements:
Correction Bolus = (Current bG – Currently Allowed bG)
x Insulin Sensitivity
j If current bG > hypo warning limit and current bG < target range
lower limit, then bG correction portion = current bG – target
range average value
Where:
j If current bG > currently allowed blood glucose value, then blood
glucose correction portion = current bG – currently allowed
blood glucose value
Insulin Sensitivity = Insulin ÷ ΔbG
347
52297_07167776001.indb 347
10/20/14 11:19 AM
Correction Bolus with Carbohydrate Intake
Whenever carbohydrates have been entered, the related
carbohydrate bolus is always ofset against any (even negative)
correction bolus.
When a meal is eaten, the correction bolus is also calculated for
blood glucose results that fall within the target range if:
j The current blood glucose result falls below the target range
average value, or
j The current blood glucose result is above the currently allowed
blood glucose value.
Mathematically negative overall boluses are displayed as “0”.
Active Insulin

currently in the body that is working to lower blood glucose. This
