Receiving data from bluetooth glucose meters

When your glucose meter is paired with Diabetes:M, it will receive the historical readings and every new glucose value when you do a finger prick. There are few things that you can do with a paired glucose meter:

• Finger prick with the app running or in the background – Diabetes:M will receive the glucose value and will save it in the logbook. The entry will also have the glucose meter’s name in the notes field.
• Make a finger prick with an opened new entry screen – if you make a finger prick when the new entry screen is opened, the red glucose field will flash a few times and will get filled with the value received from the glucose meter
• Make a finger prick with an opened Bolus Advisor screen – the red glucose field will flash and will be filled with the received glucose value
