Since the Elardo DiabetesProfiler does not require booting it can be used directly after switching on your PDA. In order to enter data, click on the item "Logbook". Here you can select any one of the following categories: Blood Glucose, Medication, Food, Exercises, Blood Pressure, Lab test results and Notes. Simply click the category you want in order to get to the respective form.

All forms are made up similarly: They have boxes for entering the date and the time, several other input boxes (depending on the category) and a box for your notes. You can enter all values and text easily and quickly using your handheld pen or using the key pad shown on the display.

You can customise the Elardo DiabetesProfiler according to your individual needs. For instance, you can modify any of the entries in the selection boxes and select the units for measurement readings and your personal blood sugar subsections. In addition, you can save the address of your physician and your next appointment – and be reminded of your appointment using the calender function.

There are several features for quickly displaying and evaluating reports on your PDA. Generally, there are five different sections.

Table Here, all data entered will appear in a list. You can delete or edit old entries, or list entries by category, period of time or day. Thus, all entries are clearly arranged and constantly available to you.

Line chart When using the line chart you can view the entries in the categories in a chart. You can select the period of time to be displayed. In addition, you can compare two categories, e.g. blood sugar and sport. Both categories are then displayed in the chart for quick comparison.

Modal day Here you can select a period of time for displaying all blood sugar measurements on a 24-hour axis.

Pie chart View your blood sugar for a certain period of time and see at a glance how well you have kept your target value.

Statistics This section enables you to view the highest, lowest and average values of your entries for period of time you can determine. Also, you can view these values not only for each category but also for the different times of day of the blood sugar values.

During each HotSync operation all data are archived on your PC. This will enable your to easily print complete reports for your physician with the included windows program.
