Welcome!

After you’ve clicked the “join now” button, and created your login information you will be asked to insert your access code. 

Click “yes” if you want to receive our team’s useful guides and advice directly to your mailbox.

To finish your signup you can either watch the short guide on how to use the app – or just click past it.

Now you’ve created your HDA user!

Let us now introduce you to our insulin calculator. This is your helper, whenever you need to take your insulin. This is the calculator that makes sure, you’re not relying on guesstimations – but actually calculates the insulin dosage you need based on what you eat and drink.

The first time you’re using Hedia Diabetes Assistant, you need to tell it a little bit about yourself, to make sure you get the most accurate recommendations.

After you’ve clicked the “+” button and “Let’s go”, you need to tell us:
Whether you’re using a pen or a pump 
Which unit you use to measure your blood glucose 
Your total daily dosage of insulin or your insulin sensitivity and your insulin-to-carbohydrate-ratio

Don’t worry, it doesn’t take that much time, and when you’re done you can get your very first insulin recommendation!

Now let’s give you your first insulin recommendation.

When you’ve used the app a couple of times, it’s not that difficult.
Press the “+” button at the bottom of your screen
Choose “enter manually” or the “sync with device” button
Measure your blood glucose and enter it manually or send it wirelessly through NFC (Near Field Communication)
Press the “calculate insulin” button
Tell us if you’ve taken insulin within the last 4 hours

That’s it! Now you’ve gotten your first insulin dosage recommendation. If you’re going to eat, then jump to step number 4, so you can get a recommendation based on your carb intake!

We also recommend you to finish up with adding the data to your logbook. This will make it way easier for you to keep track of how you’re doing and you will be able to show your numbers to your diabetes doctor.

If you’re about to enjoy a meal or a drink, HDA can quickly assist you in counting the carbs and give you an insulin recommendation.

Start by pressing the food icon at the bottom of your screen.

Now you can choose to add your meal from our food database, developed by our nutrition specialists, or to enter the carbs in your meal manually.

If you choose the food database you have over 1500 food items to pick from. When you find the food items your meal consists of, you just have to type in the amount of it.

Now HDA will tell you the amount of carbs in your meal – and all that is left to do is to click the “calculate insulin” button.

When and how much you work out also has an impact on your blood sugar levels. That’s why you’re also able to add your physical activity to HDA, when we’re giving you an insulin recommendation.

You do that right after you’ve typed in your blood glucose level (or transferred your measurement wirelessly) by clicking the activity icon at the bottom of your screen. Now you can tell HDA if you just worked out or if you’re going to work out later – and for how long.

If you want to keep track of your physical activity – just add it to your logbook, it’s quick and easy.

That’s it!

We hope you’ll enjoy using your own personal diabetes assistant. And please remember, that if you’re ever in doubt or have a question about HDA, you can always reach our support team at support@hedia.co.
