Diabetes Pilot Instructions: 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 substitute 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 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.
Export to MemoPad Selecting either "Export Data to MemoPad" or "Export Meals to MemoPad" will copy the your records to a Palm MemoPad note. The records are exported in a comma-separated format that is suitable for importing into a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel or other software. This feature is intended for experts or those with special circumstances. Transferring your data to your desktop computer is much simpler with our Diabetes Pilot Desktop software. We recommend using the Desktop software to transfer your data, rather than this export function. The date, category, and record type filters at the top of the main screen determine which records will be exported. Adjust these filters as desired before selecting the export command. The "Export to MemoPad" function allows you to transfer your data from your handheld to other programs on your desktop computer. This feature is useful for showing the data to your doctor, printing it, analyzing it, graphing trends, making a backup or permanent record of the data, and other purposes.
