7.3. Statistics

The summary sections display the most important statistics which are calculated using the user’s settings and the data in the entries database.

Personal

• Weight – the last recorded weight of the patient
• Body Mass Index (BMI) – based on the patient’s weight and height this index indicates whether the measures are in normal limits or if they are underweight or overweight.
• Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) – BMR represents the number of calories needed to maintain weight if the patient is sedentary. It is based on the patient’s weight, height, age, and sex.
• Daily Calorie Needs – usually the patient needs more calories per day than their BMR index. Daily Calorie Needs is based on BMR and daily activity.
• Total Insulin – the total daily amount of insulin based on body weight and bolus insulin type (rapid or regular)
• Total Basal Insulin
• Carbohydrate Ratio – represents how many grams of carbohydrates are covered by 1 unit of insulin. Based on body weight and bolus insulin type (rapid or regular)
• Insulin Sensitivity – represents how much the blood glucose will be lowered when applying 1 unit of insulin. Based on body weight and bolus insulin type (rapid or regular)

Period average statistics

• Main statistics
• Total records – total records count in the database
• Average glucose readings per day – displays how many records with blood glucose value are entered in the database
• Estimated HbA1c – HbA1c value based on the blood glucose readings for the last 90 days. Requires a minimum of 9 glucose readings to calculate the estimation of HbA1c value.

• Table with the glucose reading counts for the current day and the last 7, 14, 30 and 90 days grouped by hypoglycemia, low, normal, high and hyperglycemia blood glucose values.
• Table with the averages for glucose readings for the current day and the last 7, 14, 30 and 90 days. Also displays the lowest and highest value for the time period.
• Table with carbohydrates and insulin daily totals for the current day and the last 7, 14, 30 and 90 days. Also displays the ratio between bolus and basal insulin daily intake.
• Table with weight for the current day and the last 7, 14, 30 and 90 days and the change between
• Table with the LBGI and HBGI risk indexes and glucose variability indicator. For details see Blood Glucose Indexes.
