Can I use mySugr Glucose Insights when I put my mobil device in power-saving mode?

If power saving is turned on, some background processes are disabled to save battery life on your mobile device. Power saving also affects the communication with your sensor. If power saving is turned on, this is usually indicated in the status bar.

To make sure that mySugr Glucose Insights is able to communicate with your sensor, turn off power saving. For more information on how to do so, see the User’s Manual of your mobile device.

Also a blood glucose meter for calibration and as backup is needed.

What if my phone is not connected to the Internet?

If you do not have cellular or Wi-Fi® access, mySugr Glucose Insights continues to receive data from your connected CGM sensor, displays your data, and sends notifications that you have set up.

Make sure your mobile device is connected to a secure Wi-Fi® or mobile network so we can provide: 

●Predicted glucose values
● Detect if you will have low glucose soon
● Forecast your night-time lows
● Data sharing with your Accu-Chek Account or healthcare professional (if sharing is set up)

What are the reasons for the identified glucose patterns? How can I work on identified patterns?

There can be various reasons for identified glucose patterns. When the app determines the root causes of certain glucose patterns, it offers a few suggestions. However, you should always discuss your specific diabetes profile and the associated therapy with your diabetes care team before you make any comprehensive adjustments. 

This feature identifies recurring glucose events, which take place during a day or a week (Mon-Sun). Every day, your detected patterns from the last 24 hours are shown under the graph on the Home screen. Both in-range and out-of-range patterns are visualized. Viewing your out-of-range patterns allows you to take actionable steps to prevent them in the future. Patterns display in the order of the one with the highest medical risk first, at the top, such as a very low or low pattern.

What should I do if I get a Night Low Predict which predicts a potential night-time low?

If you get a Night Low Predict, which predicts a potential night time hypo, then there is a high chance (>30%) of having low glucose (below 70 mg/dL) during the night.

To minimize the risk of a night-time low, you can either eat a snack containing complex carbohydrates (such as a cereal bar) or prepare yourself to react quickly during the night. All treatment decisions should be discussed with your diabetes care team.

What should I do if mySugr Glucose Insights predicts a potential high glucose?

If mySugr Insights prediction shows a high (hyperglycemic episode) within the next 30 minutes:

You may notice the need to pay closer attention to your glucose trend. For example, some people track how activity or insulin already taken affects the course of their glucose. If you have recently injected bolus insulin, it may take some time before the full effect is visible.

Alongside the prediction shown in mySugr Glucose Insights, it can be helpful to look at your current CGM value and follow the curve over time to see how things develop.

All treatment decisions should be discussed with your diabetes care team.

If the mySugr Insights prediction shows a high within the next 31–120 minutes:

This prediction is more distant. It may change based on many factors, such as carbohydrate intake, insulin, or physical activity. Checking again in about 30 minutes can give a clearer picture of whether the trend continues.

All treatment decisions should be discussed with your diabetes care team.

What should I do if mySugr Glucose Insights predicts a potential low glucose after 30 minutes?

If mySugr Glucose Insights predicts low glucose within the general 2-hour glucose prediction range, then you can prepare and take appropriate actions to help avoid a potential low. You may consider to wait and watch how your glucose level develops. Monitor your glucose levels closely so you can react in time.

Predictions don’t update right after you create a new log entry in the mySugr Logbook. It takes at least 20 minutes until any action that you take now, for example, eating or delivering insulin, will become visible in your prediction. If you create a new logged carb or bolus insulin entry in the mySugr Logbook, give the prediction at least 20 minutes time to adjust.


All treatment decisions should be discussed with your diabetes care team.

What should I do if I get a Low glucose soon notification, which predicts a potential low glucose in the next 30 minutes?

If your Low Glucose Predict feature informs you about a potential low glucose in the next 30 minutes, take measures to avoid the hypo:

1. Eat or drink 15g of carbs, e.g., 100ml of juice or some gummy bears
2. Check your glucose after 15 minutes
3. If glucose remains below 70 mg/dL, take another 15g of carbs
4. Check glucose again after 15 minutes; repeat step 3 if glucose is below 70 mg/dL
5. Once glucose is back to normal, have a meal or snack (e.g., bread, fruits, yogurt)

You are advised to not change your overall therapy based on the data displayed without prior consultation with a healthcare professional. If you have questions about your therapy, contact your a healthcare provider.
