In the main Logbook Table and the Reports the warning low and critical low readings are coloured Amber and Red, respectively.
- Green = target high and below (that is: all critical low, warning low and on target readings)
- Amber = between target high and critical high
- Red = above critical high
Administered: record the insulins and
medicine used.
Fields 'A' and 'B' are usually used for recording insulin, specifically to help separate Bolus and Basal insulins, but can easiliy be used to record medicines too. The lists for 'A' and 'B' are ordered: insulins first, followed by medicines.
Field 'C' is usually used for recording medicine, but can easiliy be used to record insulin too. The list for 'C' is ordered: medicines first, followed by insulins.
In the reports the 'A', 'B' and 'C' insulins/medicines are distiguished by different text colours. Use User Settings to manage the list of insulins and medicines.

well as when they are: useful to note when they have

- '-ve' indicates a negative test, meaning that ketones where not detected.
- '+ve' indicates a positive test where ketones are present. Use the 'units' field to enter the value of the ketones as indicated on the side of your test-strip container.
