CHAPTER 8
Understanding Your Records
n
Record Keeping
Record keeping is an important part of successful diabetes man-
agement. The Personal Diabetes Manager (PDM) helps simplify
this task. It automatically stores records of insulin delivery history,
blood glucose readings, alarms and carbohydrates . The PDM can
store over 5,000 records or approximately 90 days’ worth of infor-
mation. Once the memory is full, new information begins to
replace the oldest information.
Special symbols in record screens
In the record screens, you may encounter several special symbols:
If the PDM batteries run out, date and time are at risk.
Do NOT remove the old batteries until you have new
ones on hand. The PDM protects data in the mem-
ory for up to 2 hours after the batteries run out or are
removed.
Records with a question-mark symbol next to them have
additional information available. To see this information, use
the
Up/Down Controller buttons to highlight the record,
then press the User Info/Support button to view details
about that record.
The record for this item has been “lost.”
If the PDM can no longer communicate with an
active Pod, then you must activate a new Pod. The
PDM may not be able to communicate with the
active Pod because of signal interference or because
you have discarded the Pod. If you change the Pod
without getting a Status update, any “unconfirmed”
records will be “lost.” If this occurs, the PDM will not
display insulin totals for any day containing “lost”
records.
