5        Quick start manual

1.)

When you start SiDiary for the very first time, the profile wizard will open and ask you some diabetes-related questions to configure the software especially for your individual needs. After that you get into the quick start screen, where you can find the most important functions: manual data entry, readout meter and print logbook.

 

2.)

You can start immediately with tracking your data. Click on the grid at any place and enter the related value. (Blood glucose levels will be re-ordered to the appropriate row automatically) With the cursor buttons above the grid you can navigate to the next day, the previous day or week – or you can open the calendar by double clicking on the date to choose the exact day you want.

3.)

 

When you have tracked some readouts, you can use the trend display to see a rating and a trend of your current condition. Please open the Menu Analysis → Trend or press the F5-button. Of course the results will become more significant with more tracked data! All limit values for the ratings can be predefined with your own individual settings (button Settings).

 

4.)

You can analyze your entered or imported data (from blood glucose meters, insulin pumps, blood pressure meters etc.) with detailed statistical graphics. You are able to set several filters, define control times and select graphic types. Therefore you can analyze and answer any tricky questions. With the cursor buttons in the time range your can switch the adjusted time range to an equal time range in order to compare for example different weeks with each other.
