Averages:
- Using the Averages tab, the app can help you monitor your overall blood glucose average for four time spans: 7-, 14-, 30-, or 90-days.
- The bottom of the Averages screen also displays the average number of tests per day and the number of readings included in the average for the time span you choose.
Using Averages with Meal Tagging:
- When meal tagging is turned on, tapping on the doughnut chart will display a breakdown of each type of reading, and the range defined for each tag.
- When meal tagging is turned off, tapping on the doughnut chart displays the total number of readings and the overall range.
A1C Comparator:
- What is an A1C Comparator?
- Your healthcare professional will administer the A1C test and give you the result. The test analyzes the level of glycated, or glucose-coated, hemoglobin in your red blood cells. Since your red blood cells turn over every two to three months, this test is a good indicator of how your blood glucose has been running over that time. The result is represented as a percentage.
- The app plots the A1C on the right side of the graph and pulls and populates the 90-day average from the app for the same time frame on the left side of the graph. Then the difference between the two points on the graph are highlighted within the graph in yellow.
- NOTE: The graph displays values from 3.0 to 7.0%. For more information about values outside this range, tap the
icon next to the graph. You may then tap View A1C History for additional details.
- Do you have a different A1C Unit of measure?
- The A1C test result is reported as either a percentage (%) or an amount (mmol/mol). If your result is reported as mmol/mol, it will need to be converted to a % before you can use the A1C comparator. You can go to the Diabetes UK website at diabetes.co.uk to find out more or use another online A1C unit converter.
Using the A1C Comparator:
1. Tap the ring icon for Averages at the top-right of the screen, then tap Comparator.
2. On the bottom of the screen, tap + Add new A1C.

- You can delete an A1C test result in the A1C History screen by swiping left on the A1C you wish to remove. A Remove button will be displayed. Tap to finish removing your A1C from the app. A pop-up will appear to confirm before removing the A1C test result.
