Data management
How long and where will data be stored in the apps? Can I delete my data from the apps?
Data is stored in both apps as long as they are used on the phone. CGM data cannot be deleted from within the Accu-Chek SmartGuide app. Manually entered logbook records, as long as they were not used for calibration, can be deleted if desired.
If you have stopped using the Accu-Chek SmartGuide CGM solution and want to delete your account and data, go to the Account screen in the app menu (either the Accu-Chek SmartGuide app or Accu-Chek SmartGuide Predict app) and choose Delete Account. Follow the steps on the screens to delete your account.
If you want to delete data from your phone because you have stopped using the solution, you must delete the apps.

Do I need to create separate Accu-Chek Accounts for both apps?
No, you do not need to create separate accounts for both apps. You will log into the Accu-Chek SmartGuide Predict app with the same Accu-Chek account that you created for the Accu-Chek SmartGuide app.
When you are logged in to both apps, you can switch between the two easily with one tap.

What happens with my data in the Accu-Chek SmartGuide CGM solution?
The CGM sensor sends the CGM data via Bluetooth® Low Energy connectivity to the Accu-Chek SmartGuide app.
The Accu-Chek SmartGuide app sends the CGM data to the Accu-Chek Care platform cloud, and there is no direct interface from the app to third-party software.
However, the Accu-Chek Care platform cloud might interface with third-party software, e.g., to a Electoinc Health Records System.

How can I share my data with my diabetes care team?
- If your diabetes care team uses the Accu-Chek Care platform, you can allow them to see your data in the Accu-Chek Care platform by sharing the access pin code displayed in your Accu-Chek SmartGuide app under “Manage Account”.
- If your diabetes care team does not use the Accu-Chek Care platform, you can send them a report via email. In the Accu-Chek SmartGuide Predict app, generate a PDF of a 2-week report. Select the date range and which details are included in the report, such as the standard AGP and/or a pattern report that lists all glucose patterns found during these 2 weeks, e.g., hypos in the morning, hypers in the evening etc.

What are the reasons for the identified glucose patterns? How can I work on identified patterns?
There can be various reasons for identified glucose patterns. When the app determines the root causes of certain glucose patterns, it offers a few suggestions. However, you should always discuss your specific diabetes profile and the associated therapy with your diabetes care team before you make any comprehensive adjustments.
Also refer to 'How to use the Glucose Patterns Feature works'.

What should I do if I get a Night Low Forecast, which predicts a potential nocturnal hypo?
If you get a Night Low Predict notification, which predicts a potential nocturnal hypo, then there is a high chance (>30%) of having low glucose (below 3.9 mmol/L) during the night.
To minimise the risk of a nighttime hypo, either eat a snack containing complex carbohydrates (like a cereal bar) or prepare so you can react quickly during the night.
All treatment decisions should be discussed with your diabetes care team.

What should I do if the Accu-Chek SmartGuide Predict app predicts a potential high (hyperglycaemic episode)?
If the Accu-Chek SmartGuide Predict app predicts a high (hyperglycaemic episode) within the next 30 minutes:
Consider doing some physical activity (e.g., going for a walk) or making an insulin correction to stay in range. If you have already injected bolus insulin, wait until the insulin comes to its full effect before you take further measures.
In addition to monitoring the excursion of the glucose prediction on the Accu-Chek SmartGuide Predict app, check the actual CGM value and monitor the course of the glucose carefully to asssess whether further action is needed.
All treatment decisions should be discussed with your diabetes care team.
If the Accu-Chek SmartGuide Predict app predicts a high within the next 31-120 minutes:
Wait and watch. Do not act upon this prediction now. Closely monitor your predictions and current glucose values. Note that glucose influencing factors like carbs intake, insulin injection, and activity can change the prediction again. Check your prediction in 30 min and then decide if exercise or insulin for correction is needed. All treatment decisions should be discussed with your diabetes care team.
