The glucose notebook, and the diabetes doctor's questions

Between one appointment and the next, blood glucose values pile up: in a notebook, in the meter's memory, in your phone's notes. Next to the numbers there are insulin doses, the carbs at lunch, a hypo treated during the night, and on the day of the appointment you have to put it all back together.

"What were the values like before dinner? How many hypos did you treat? How much rapid insulin at breakfast?"

You don't need to remember everything: you need one place to write down every value together with what goes with it.

A diary that puts things in order, without judging

With Pediary you log by hand every value you check with your own device. The app places it next to the time of day, insulin and carbs, works out the averages by time of day and prepares a tidy PDF, without ever judging a number: that is for your diabetes doctor.

Features

How the Pediary blood glucose diary works

The value, as you read it

mg/dL or mmol/L, LO and HI too

Enter blood glucose in the unit you use, mg/dL or mmol/L, with the keypad that opens on its own. If the meter shows LO or HI, you log it with its own button. You can note whether the value comes from a finger or a sensor.

The time of day

Suggested from the clock, easy to change

Fasting, before or after a meal, bedtime, night or other; with a meal you pick breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner or snack. The app suggests the moment from the time, and you change it with one tap.

Insulin, carbs and ketones

Only what you need

Add one or more doses of rapid or long-acting insulin, with its name if you like; "Same as last time" fills in the last dose of the same type you entered, with no calculation and no advice. Carbs in grams, ketones in blood or urine.

Treated hypos and "recheck"

You record them, you turn the reminder on

With "I treated a hypo" you note whether you used sugar or glucagon: the app only counts the episodes you record. If your plan says to recheck, choose when to be reminded: in 15 or 30 minutes, in 1 or 2 hours, or at a time you pick.

Diary, table and report

Over 7, 14 or 30 days

The chart shows one dot for each blood glucose value, with no coloured bands. The day by day table puts the values under breakfast, lunch, dinner and evening; the report sums up averages by time of day, highest and lowest value, and the insulin and ketones recorded.

The PDF for your diabetes doctor

And CSV export

Choose period, language and unit: the PDF includes the table, the chart, averages by time of day, treated hypos, ketones, insulins used and your notes for the diabetes doctor. Every page says it is not a medical report. The CSV opens in a spreadsheet.

Three steps to the blood glucose diary

1

Create the profile

Download Pediary and create a profile for a child or an adult: the blood glucose diary is already on, and if you don't need it you turn it off from the profile page.

2

Log the values

From the "+" button choose Blood glucose and enter the value you read on your device, with anything you want to add: insulin, carbs, ketones, a note.

3

Bring the PDF to the appointment

From the blood glucose diary or from the report you export the PDF or the CSV for the period and show it to your diabetes doctor.

Frequently asked questions about the blood glucose diary

Does Pediary tell me whether my blood glucose is OK?

No. Pediary shows values, averages and charts, but it never writes "normal", "high" or "low", does not colour the numbers, shows no target ranges and gives no alerts. It counts hypos only when you record them yourself. What the values mean is for your doctor or diabetes doctor to say: if you have a doubt, talk to them.

Does it calculate insulin doses?

No. Pediary does not calculate doses, does not estimate HbA1c and gives no treatment advice. "Same as last time" only fills in the last dose of the same type you logged for that profile. Doses are decided with your doctor or diabetes doctor.

Does it connect to my meter or sensor?

No, every value is entered by hand: Pediary does not connect to meters, sensors, Apple Health or Health Connect and does not import data automatically. In the entry screen you can note whether the value comes from a finger or a sensor.

What is in the PDF for the diabetes doctor?

The day by day table with doses, carbs, treated hypos and ketones, the blood glucose chart, averages by time of day with the number of readings, the highest and lowest value, the list of treated hypos and ketones, the insulins used in the period, the notes of the entries and, if you like, your notes for the diabetes doctor. LO and HI readings stay in the diary but are left out of the averages.

Can I use it for a child or for an adult?

Yes. The blood glucose diary is on for every profile, child or adult, with no age limit, and you turn it off from the profile page. Each profile has its own separate diary, and the emergency medical card shows the last blood glucose logged and the insulins of the last 30 days.

Why you can trust the blood glucose diary

No judgement on the values

Values, averages and charts, with no colours, bands or alerts: your doctor interprets them.

Your data stays yours

The diary lives on your phone and leaves it only if you link another phone or turn on the backup yourself.
