Learn how to use Applidia
Nine short videos to set up your treatment, log your readings and send a report to your doctor. Every step is also written out.
Once: your settings
Set your fixed doses: morning, noon, evening
- From home, tap Injection treatment.
- Turn on the Rapid insulin, by period switch, then tap the card to open the settings.
- Enter the name of your insulin.

- Tap Save, the large blue button at the bottom.
Mixed and long-acting insulin are set up the same way.
Set your doses by blood sugar
Enter the doses your doctor prescribed for each blood-sugar range. Applidia then shows the dose you entered for the range of your reading.
- From home, tap Injection treatment.
- Turn on the Rapid insulin, by blood sugar switch, then open the card.
- Enter the name of your insulin (for example: insulin aspart).
- Tap the green + on the right to add a range. If a range ends at 2.0, the next one starts at 2.1.
- For each range, enter the units prescribed for morning, noon and evening.
- A red triangle marks an incomplete row. The red − removes a row.
- Tap Save.
Set up the bolus
- From home, tap Injection treatment.
- At the very bottom, turn on the Bolus switch, then open the card.
- Enter the insulin name, or tick Same name as the rapid insulin.

Choose one of S1 to S5 only if your doctor prescribed exactly that table, and check every value shown.
Set up your GLP-1 treatment
