Reports - Analyzing Your Data
Diabetes Pilot provides several methods for you to review your data and assess your blood sugar control over time. These reports can be selected from the main screen under the "Reports" menu.
Averages Report
This report shows your average blood sugar for the past 7, 30, 60, and 90 days. This report should not take the place of tests recommended by your doctor such as glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c).
The report will also display a rough "best guess" estimate of your HbA1C. Because this estimate is based only on the data that you've entered, it may be inaccurate in certain circumstances depending on your data entry patterns. It's intended for informational purposes only - you shouldn't rely on it for medical decision-making purposes or as a subsitute for actual HbA1C testing.
Range report
This report shows the portion of your glucose measurements that fall within the ranges that you've specified in the Preferences screen. Note that the total of the percentages shown may not add up to 100 percent because you may have some readings that are neither high, low, nor in your specified target range.
You can specify the date range to analyze by tapping on the "Start Date" and "End Date" items.
Category Report
The category report analyzes your readings based on their category. If you have been using the category feature to categorize your records as you enter them, this report may help you find patterns in your readings. See Recording and Editing Data for more information on using categories.
Use the "Show" dropdown list next to select the measure that you are interested in. You can choose from the following items:
- Average Glucose
- Minimum Glucose
- Number of Glucose Readings
- Glucose Readings in Target Range
- High Glucose Readings
- Low Glucose Readings
You can specify the date range to analyze by tapping on the "Start Date" and "End Date" items.
Medication Report
The Medication Report shows the totals of each of your medications over a selected date range.
To adjust the dates that are included, use the date controls located near the top of the screen.
Food Report
You can create a report that shows the nutritional content of the meals you've entered. To do this, choose "Food Report".
To adjust the dates that are included, use the date controls located near the top of the screen.
Glucose Graph
To create a graph of your glucose readings, choose "Glucose Graph" . A line graph of your glucose readings will be displayed.
To adjust the dates that are graphed, use the drop-down list located above the graph.
To step through the dates sequentially, use the up/down buttons on your handheld.
To find out the details about a graph point, tap and hold your stylus on the graph points - the details will be displayed below the graph.
