Receiver: Enter Insulin
6
Tap Save.
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. You can
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: When entering carbs, you can add up all carb grams for the snack or meal, up to 250 grams.
• Exercise: You select each exercise's intensity level and duration. Type of exercise isn't an option.
• Health-related events:
o Illness: Is a cold, flu, or any other temporary illness affecting your well-being?
o Stress: Are you under stress or feeling anxious?
o High symptoms: Do you feel high BG symptoms?
o Low symptoms: Do you feel low BG symptoms?
o Cycle: Are you on your period?
o 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.
9.5 App: Edit or Delete an Event
Oops! Entered an event incorrectly? Maybe you entered the wrong number of insulin units, or forgot to change the time before you saved it.
Use the Events screen to delete and re-enter incorrect events you entered on your app. You cannot edit or delete events entered on your
receiver.
