- When you'd like to transfer data to or from your handheld, follow the instructions in Using Diabetes Pilot with an iPhone or iPod Touch to transfer your data.
You can create additional datasets in the future by repeating the steps above for each additional person that will be using Diabetes Pilot to track their data.
If you've created more than one data file, you can select which data you want to work with by using the "File->Open" or "File->Open Recent" menu.
Purchasing and Activating
In some cases, when you install Diabetes Pilot it will run in a time-limited free trial mode. The program is fully functional during this time, but will only operate for a limited number of days. The program will not operate after the trial period expires. Please purchase it before your trial period expires - your purchase helps support further development of the program.
If you purchased Diabetes Pilot at www.diabetespilot.com, you will have received a license key file via email. Follow the instructions in the email to use the license key file to unlock the program. (Just open the license key file or drop it on the Diabetes Pilot icon in the dock).
