All guide chapters
First setup
Start by choosing your app language and glucose unit. Enter only what you need—you can change preferences later in settings.
- Confirm your measurement unit before logging your first reading.
- Set targets recommended by your clinician, if that feature is available to you.
- Apple Health or Health Connect linking is optional and never enabled automatically.
Understand the three destinations
After setup, the app is organized around Today, Diary, and Insights. Each destination preserves its own navigation context.
- Today: current status and next action.
- Diary: history, search, filters, and details.
- Insights: Overview, Glucose, Food, Carbs, and Reports & Tools.
One recording gateway
Tap Record to add a meal, glucose reading, or profile-appropriate basal entry. A standalone reading is valid, and a pre-meal reading is not required to save a meal.
- Time and meal type are required; add food, carbs, dose, notes, or linked glucose as available.
- Correct an item from its detail page instead of making a duplicate.
- A registered meal becomes response-eligible only when the analysis requirements are met.
Use the Today view
Today shows current status, next action, and recent gateways. With enough data, it presents an evidence snapshot, special notes, and the clearest signals without crowding every chart onto one screen.
- Use Record for quick entry.
- Open Settings from Today.
- Move to Diary for history or Insights for broader review.
Search, filter, and open details
Diary is where you review your history. It brings together meals, glucose, and basal records with search, filters, date navigation, and details.
- Link or unlink a reading without deleting the reading itself.
- Edit and delete from the detail view.
- Use contextual daily export for the selected day.
Start with Overview and evidence quality
Overview explains meal count, readings ready for response analysis, data quality, special notes, and the clearest patterns for the selected period.
- Meal count and the count of readings ready for analysis are not the same.
- When data is insufficient, SugroLy says so instead of overstating a result.
- Open a card to reach the related detail or tool.
Understand recorded glucose
The Glucose view displays recorded readings as separate points with period, unit, sample, and distribution. It does not assume continuous measurements between points.
- Points are not connected or interpolated.
- Intermittent records are not the same as continuous CGM coverage.
- Use the text or table alternative when helpful.
Understand insights and patterns
An insight describes what repeated in your logs over a defined period. Confidence reflects evidence quantity and consistency—not medical certainty or treatment advice.
- Read the time window and record count beside each result.
- A past response does not guarantee a similar future response.
- Use results to prepare better questions for your clinician.
Food and meal response
Food presents descriptive associations by meal type or linked food when enough eligible data exists, while preserving the difference between repetition and causation.
- Portion, preparation, and timing can change the response.
- Comparisons need sufficient repetition.
- Nutrition information is estimated when you do not enter it precisely.
Relate carbohydrates to glucose change
Carbs presents a scatter view and an approximate descriptive relationship from eligible meals. A line or band is not a treatment target or dosing boundary.
- Read the meal count and period.
- Missing pairing, carbs, or variation is shown explicitly.
- Statistical association does not establish causation.
Reports, data quality, and profile tools
Open Reports & Tools from Insights for the report archive, Data Quality, and profile-relevant Dose or Metrics & Reference tools.
- Some reports may use an optional rewarded ad to unlock the current session.
- Data Quality and Reference do not depend on report unlock.
- Dose tools do not recommend doses or correction treatment.
Backup, export, and health connection
General backup, export, and Apple Health or Health Connect remain in Settings. Copies and files you create stay under your control.
- Do not store backups on shared devices without protection.
- Test restore before relying on a single copy.
- Deleting the app may remove local data depending on your device OS.
App limits and emergencies
SugroLy is a logging and descriptive analytics tool, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, recommend doses, or support emergency decisions.
- Follow personal goals and plans from your care team.
- Past patterns do not guarantee future outcomes.
- Contact local emergency services immediately in an emergency.
