How do I use Coaching in the mySugr app?

You can find Coaching on the bottom of your mySugr app. Coaching is available to support you in everyday life between your doctor's appointments. Let your mySugr Coach know how intensively you want this service.
Do you have goals that you want to achieve? Your mySugr Coach can support you here. The more information you share, the more specifically you Coach can support you.

It is also important to allow notifications for the mySugr app in the notification settings of your smartphone. If you turn off notifications, you can only know if your Coach messaged you when you open the app.

How do I get test strip supplies?

Test strips are sent to you based on your usage. First, you need to connect the Accu-Chek Guide Me to the mySugr app. The meter then transfers the blood sugar data to the mySugr app and it calculates how many test strips you need and when you’ll need them.

Where can I get new lancets?

If you need lancets, please contact the Accu-Chek Customer Service Center (https://www.accu-chek.com/contact-accu-chek-customer-care).
If you are in US you, please contact the mySugr Support support@mysugr.com.
Please change your lancets regularly! They become dull when used multiple times and your fingers are important. 😊

Problems with the meter or batteries?

Due to the Bluetooth function, the Accu-Chek meters requires a lot of energy. The energy of the batteries should be sufficient for up to 500 blood sugar measurements. For someone who measures 4x a day, this would mean that the battery needs to be changed after approximately 4 months. If possible, on-brand Panasonic should be used.
If you have problems with your device or need a new one, contact the Accu-Chek Customer Service Center (https://www.accu-chek.com/contact-accu-chek-customer-care).

How many devices can I connect to the mySugr app?

With an iPhone, you can connect up to three devices of the same type.
With an Android, one device of each type can be connected.
Remember, test strip use is based ONLY on the tests from paired Accu-Chek meter/s.

How do I enter my data in the mySugr app ?
