Name: The person's name to add to the top of reports.

Glucose units: select the units in which you test glucose. Typically the UK uses mmol/L and the US uses mg/dL. This is used as the preset unit when adding new events. It is also the unit that the reports will use: readings in the other unit will be converted for use in the report.

Weight: select the units in which you record weight. Typically the UK uses Kg and the US uses lb. This is used in the reports.

Height: select the units in which you record weight. Typically the UK uses cm and the US uses in. This is used in the reports.

Glucose Levels: these set the boundaries to the critical and target levels of glucose. The initial values are set for mmol/L and are not automatically converted when Glucose units is changed: these levels will normally be set by your diabetes medical team.This is used to automatically set the glucose level indicator in the Event Panel and Logbook Table.

The conversion is 1 mmol/L = 18 mg/dL .


Periods: these are used to make it easier to review glucose for different parts of the day. By setting the start and end times for when you begin your pre-meal routine, Diabetes Logbook X will automatically preset the time period for an event as follows
  • Earlier than Breakfast Start = Night
  • Between 'meal' Start and 'meal' End = Before 'meal'
  • After 'meal' End and before 'next meal' Start = After 'meal'
  • Later than Bedtime End = Night

Defaults: set preferred insulins and medicine. These are used as presets when adding a new event. Use the 'Edit Lists ...' button to manage the list of insulins, medicines and event types.

BUTTON: Save Settings Now: force a save of the database and user settings to occur immediately.
