Coaching elements – dotted blue rectangles, show differences between predictions and actual BGLs.

How to use Jade
Use JadeDiabetes.com ‘just like a pump’, entering in BGLs as you take them, and Carbs and Insulin as you have them – preferably using the Calculator to calculate the dose as it also take active insulin (Insulin On Board or IOB) into account. Adjust the dose if necessary. The Calculator takes into account your BGL target in 3* hours time (*-depending on your active insulin time).
These screens are the quickest way to enter data, as they do not require you to enter the time – it is assumed you are entering the data ‘as it happens’. If you have to enter data after the events actually happen, use the logs screen.
Each day, look at the coaching elements that Jade places on your charts, and adjust your ratios in the direction suggested.
