Changing the usual tag times (fasting and meal times)
What is fasting blood glucose and why is it important?
Fasting blood glucose
readings: Fasting blood
glucose is measured
after sleeping and before
breakfast, when you
have not eaten or had a
drink containing sugar/
glucose for at least
8 hours.
•
Your fasting blood
glucose readings
are used to decide
if your insulin dose
should be increased or
decreased.
•
You have to tag,
or mark, your
readings when they
are fasting. Telling
JAZZ™ DoseCoach
which blood glucose
readings are fasting
is important for Dose
Helper.
•
The fasting time sets
the middle point of a
6-hour fasting window.
•
You can tag blood
glucose readings
as fasting during
this 6-hour window.
However, the fasting
tag will only be
suggested by JAZZ™
DoseCoach
for two
®
hours before and two
hours after your usual
fasting time.

•
If you adjust the
fasting time, all meal
times may move
based on your fasting
time.
•
Meal times must be at
least two hours apart.
•
The dinner time and
fasting time must
be at least six hours
apart.
