What is mySugr Glucose Insights?

mySugr Glucose Insights is intended to be used for the continuous display and read-out of real-time glucose values from a connected Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) sensor, and to help users visualize and analyze diabetes data. It is a device software function of the mySugr Logbook (mySugr app), and acts as an aid in the daily diabetes management.

You can view the following information at a glance on the Home screen:

● Current alarms
● Current CGM value and trend
● Glucose prediction for the next 2 hours
●Low glucose soon notification
● Night Low Predict
● Detected patterns
● Time in range
● Glucose management indicator (GMI)

Can I use the mySugr app when I put my mobile device in power-saving mode?

If your mobile device is in power-saving mode, the mySugr app may no longer be able to communicate with the sensor. Also a blood glucose meter for calibration and as backup is needed.

Which apps do I need to use with my Accu-Chek SmartGuide sensor?

You only need the mySugr app to use with the Accu-Chek SmartGuide sensor.

mySugr Glucose Insights is an extension of the mySugr Logbook (mySugr app) that becomes active when you connect an Accu-Chek SmartGuide sensor.

Accu-Chek SmartGuide CGM sensor

What must I consider when I swim or mountain climb while using the Accu-Chek SmartGuide CGM sensor?

If you want to go swimming you can keep the sensor on your body. The Accu-Chek SmartGuide sensor may be submerged for up to 60 minutes at a depth of up to 1 m (3.28 feet) . However, the adhesive can come off more easily in water, so using additional waterproof tape is recommended.

If you plan to spend time at high altitude, keep in mind that the Accu-Chek SmartGuide sensor is only guaranteed to work up to an altitude of 3000 meters (9,842 feet). Also clarify the allowable altitude for the blood glucose meter you are taking with you.

Keep in mind that physical activity has an effect on glucose levels, so it’s a good idea to regularly check your current level in the app when in doubt (e.g., when leaving your mobile device at the poolside when swimming).

Accu-Chek SmartGuide CGM sensor

What must I consider when in airports or on airplanes while using the Accu-Chek SmartGuide CGM solution?

When at the airport you can leave the sensor on your body to pass through full-body scanners. Keep your medical certificate ready for any queries from security personnel. Spare sensors inside your luggage can pass through airport screenings as well.

If airplane mode is enabled on your mobile device, Bluetooth® may automatically turn off. This can prevent mySugr Glucose Insights from communicating with your sensor. In this case, to re-establish the communication despite the active flight mode, you should turn Bluetooth® back on. For more information on how to do so, see the User’s Manual of your mobile device.

Please consider that both iOS and Android devices remember the Bluetooth® state when airplane mode was enabled for the last time, and they will revert to that state the next time airplane mode is turned on. You can usually confirm if airplane mode is active by checking your mobile device's status bar.

On most airplanes, the operation of devices with active Bluetooth® connectivity is now officially permitted. However, to be on the safe side, check in advance with the airline to see to what extent mobile device operation is permitted during the flight. During the flight, the mobile device must be switched to airplane mode.

Changing Time Zones:

If you travel to a different time zone, the time in your mobile device adjusts to the local time (as soon as you deactivate flight mode when you are travelling by airplane). The mySugr app also adopts the local time for all displayed CGM values, so there is no overlap or duplication of CGM values. This is possible because the values are stored in the background in a universal time (UTC) and are adjusted automatically to the time zone you are in.
