Chapter 9: Events
9.4 Other Events
Now that you can enter insulin on your app and receiver, let’s go over the other events
you can record: carbs, exercise, and health. Enter these on your app or receiver. Adding
these events is very similar to adding insulin. You already know how to enter insulin, so
you can also enter carbs! Below we go over some tips for entering events.
• Carbs: Add up all carb grams for the snack or meal, up to 999 grams.
• Exercise: You select each exercise’s intensity level and duration. Type of exercise
isn’t an option.
• Health-related events:
• Illness: Is a cold, flu, or any other temporary illness affecting your well-being?
• Stress: Are you under stress or feeling anxious?
• High symptoms: Do you feel high BG symptoms?
• Low symptoms: Do you feel low BG symptoms?
• Cycle: Are you on your period?
• Alcohol: Did you have a glass of wine, beer, or cocktail?
For your convenience, there’s no need to stop everything and enter your events as
they’re happening. When you have a moment, you can enter past events. Events are
meant to be entered as individual occurrences: Don’t enter daily totals; enter each
event separately.
