a
Dose Helper needs your fasting blood
glucose (fasting BG) readings. It can
only use these if you also entered
your previous insulin dose. Dose
Helper pairs these together. For
example, a pair might be yesterday's
dose and today's fasting blood
glucose reading.
b
The number of pairs (dose + fasting
blood glucose) collected is shown on
the shooting star graphic at the end
of the Dose Helper sequence - after
you have saved a dose.
