The diary provides an overview of the patient's blood sugar level and logged items, such as meals and exercise. You can use this data to provide targeted treatment, for example, by providing advice on a specific meal.

Below is an overview of the diary, with an explanation of the options.

  1. Date selection. Use this to navigate to the past days. Days are colored differently:

    1. A green date means that meals were logged on this day and blood sugar data is available;

    2. A red date means that there is blood sugar data on this day, but no logged meals;

    3. A blue date means that there is no blood sugar data on this day, but there are logged meals;

    4. A gray date means that you have selected this day in the overview;

    5. A white date means that nothing was logged on this day and there is no blood sugar data (for example, because treatment has not yet started or has already ended).

  2. Summary of the glucose data for the selected day:

    1. Time in target range: the percentage of time the patient is within the set minimum and maximum glucose range (in mmol/l or mg/dl);

    2. Spikes: the number of blood sugar spikes where the patient falls outside the set target range;

    3. Average glucose: the average glucose value (in mmol/l or mg/dl) on the selected day.

  3. The macronutrients for the selected day, combined from all logged meals.

  4. The blood sugar graph for the selected day. Use the mouse scroll wheel to zoom in and out of the graph. Logged items, such as meals and sports activities, are displayed on the graph. By clicking on this, you select the activity from the overview below. By moving the mouse over the graph, you see the glucose value per time point.

  5. Here you can select the activity type, such as all items, meals, sports activities, etc.

  6. The Clear.bio Food Score. See this article for more information.

  7. Indicator that automated nutritional advice has been given to the patient.

  8. Option to expand the logged item, such as meal, to see detailed information, such as a photo of the meal, macros, and micrograms.
