When you start tracking your blood
glucose values with SiDiary, you will see that your parameters become better
each day, because you are getting a directly graphical feedback upon entering
each value. The charts and the calculated A1C parameter are helping you to
control your diabetes. The graphical analysis is showing you a series of bad blood
glucose levels immediately and makes you want to improve. You can not compare
the SiDiary-calculated A1C to a lab value, but it offers you an indication for
a better tendency of your metabolism-adjustment.
A lot of clinical trials have proved that, if you are using any blood
glucose logbook (even a paper based one), it is always along with an
improvement of your diabetes adjustments. An improvement of 1% of the A1C is
possible. If you are watching your values with an electronic log, you will see
recurrent mistakes and you can optimize even little things, since you are
getting more and more sensitive in keeping your values straight.
Please notice: The readout of the meter alone will protocol your
efforts, but will not show you the way to improvement. It will be helpful for
sudden changes (Hyperglycemia/Hypoglycemia) to protocol also in SiDiary: What
did you eat, how much did you inject, were there any additional physical
pressures or did you had an additional illness. If you can identify the
circumstances for a bad blood sugar level, you have the chance to make
adjustments the next time in order to get better results.
