These settings are
used throughout the application and may have more than
one affect.
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

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.
