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

  1. Set your fixed doses: morning, noon, evening

    1. From home, tap Injection treatment.
    2. Turn on the Rapid insulin, by period switch, then tap the card to open the settings.
    3. Enter the name of your insulin.
    4. Enter the prescribed fixed doses for morning, noon and evening.
    5. Tap Save, the large blue button at the bottom.

    Mixed and long-acting insulin are set up the same way.

  2. 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.

    1. From home, tap Injection treatment.
    2. Turn on the Rapid insulin, by blood sugar switch, then open the card.
    3. Enter the name of your insulin (for example: insulin aspart).
    4. Tap the green + on the right to add a range. If a range ends at 2.0, the next one starts at 2.1.
    5. For each range, enter the units prescribed for morning, noon and evening.
    6. A red triangle marks an incomplete row. The red − removes a row.
    7. Tap Save.
  3. Set up the bolus

    1. From home, tap Injection treatment.
    2. At the very bottom, turn on the Bolus switch, then open the card.
    3. Enter the insulin name, or tick Same name as the rapid insulin.
    4. Choose your schedule. With Personal bolus schedule, you enter the units your doctor prescribed yourself, range by range.
    5. Schedules S1 to S5 are five correction tables built into the app. S1 is preselected.
    6. Tap Save.

    Choose one of S1 to S5 only if your doctor prescribed exactly that table, and check every value shown.

  4. Set up your GLP-1 treatment

    1. From home, tap Injection treatment.
    2. Scroll down, turn on the GLP-1 switch, then open the card.
    3. Enter the name of your treatment.
    4. Pick the day of the week for the injection, then enter the dose in milligrams.
    5. Tick Weekly reminder on the planned day to get a notification.
    6. Tap Save.
  5. Add a medication

    1. From home, tap Medication treatment.
    2. Tap the blue + at the bottom right.
    3. Enter the name of the medication (for example: metformin).
    4. Set the dose definition (10 mg, 1 tablet, 1 sachet…).
    5. Enter the number of doses for night, morning, noon and evening.
    6. Tap Save.

    To delete this medication later, open it again: a red trash icon appears at the top right.

  6. Set your blood-sugar targets

    1. From home, tap Settings.
    2. Pick the first option, Glycemic targets.
    3. For each period (night, fasting, before and after each meal), change the min and max values.

    5. The Results page opens with the Drop filter: your reading is there.
  2. Log an injection

    1. From home, tap the central blue button with the syringe.
    2. To speed up your entry, the app uses the insulin type, period and prescribed dose saved in your treatment for this blood-sugar level.
    3. Check the values and adjust them by scrolling if needed.
    4. Tap Save.
    5. The history opens with the Syringe filter: your injection is there.
