Frequently Asked Questions

Does Glucobyte® measure blood glucose?

No. Glucobyte® al­lows you to record, track and an­a­lyze trends in your blood glucose. You can ei­ther man­u­al­ly en­ter your records or use a blood glucose mon­i­tor to sync with Glucobyte through Apple Health. Glucobyte alone does not mea­sure blood glucose. You need a sep­a­rate blood glucose mon­i­tor to mea­sure blood glucose. Make sure that the blood glucose monitor you select meets your country's regulatory requirements (e.g. US FDA, EU MDR, etc.).

Can Glucobyte® sync with wireless blood glucose monitors?

Glucobyte® can sync with any blood glucose monitor that connects to Apple Health.

How do I sync with Apple Health?

You can sync with Apple Health for free from the History screen. See screenshot below:

How do I sync between my iPhone and iPad?

There are a couple of ways you can sync between your mobile devices:

Sync through Glucobyte Cloud

You can seamlessly sync between all your mobile devices using Glucobyte Cloud. This feature is an optional service for premium version users. You can access Glucobyte Cloud from the History screen (see screenshot below). Here you can register for a Glucobyte Cloud account. Once you are registered, login with your credentials across all your mobile devices where you want to sync your data. If you already have a SmartBP Cloud sync account, you can use the same credentials to login. Note that Android is coming soon.

Direct sync between iPhone and iPad through WiFi or Bluetooth without going through Cloud

To sync between iPhone and iPad you should have the premium version of Glucobyte running on both devices. After making a purchase on one device, you are NOT charged again for the app on another device. Go to the More section of the Glucobyte and select "Restore Purchase". You will only be charged once and not twice. You restore your purchase for free.

First set one device to receive from the more section of the app. Then on the other device, from history screen, select your data and tap on the share icon and select share with nearby iPhone and iPad. See screenshots below for more information.

I purchased the premium version but I still see ads and the app has not upgraded

Go to the more section of the app and here select "Restore Purchase". You are not charged again when you restore purchase.

Does Glucobyte® automatically backup my data?

We offer an optional premium paid service ("Glucobyte Cloud Sync") that allows you to back up your Health Data outside your Device and allows you to access this Health Data on multiple devices, including iOS phones, tablets and Android devices. However, enrollment in this service should not be treated as a substitute for regularly taking additional back up of Your Health Data. While We have implemented reasonable precautions to protect the information we collect from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Please be aware that despite our best efforts, no data security measures can guarantee 100% security. It is the user's responsibility to regularly backup their data. Other methods of backing up data include exporting a CSV of all your data to various apps or emailing it to yourself and saving it.

Can I modify my records or back date/time?

Yes. You can modify the records, including date, time, notes, tags and blood glucose information. You can change existing records from History screen by tapping on the record and while entering your blood glucose in the home screen, you can back date/time to any desired date/time.

How to add widgets?

How do I import multiple records?

Send a CSV file from the Glucobyte® app History screen to your e-mail address. Format this file with your data and then drag the file to iTunes (free) and select the import option from the history page in Glucobyte® (you will find this option when you tap on the curled arrow in the bottom of the history page).

Another option requires an upgrade but it is much easier and faster to import your records. Add at least one record and then go to History screen, select your data and tap on the cloud option. Here choose export to Google Drive / Dropbox. A folder will be created and a CSV file will be uploaded. Now modify this exported file and populate it with all your data and save it as a separate CSV file in the same folder. Then go back to Glucobyte® and import the newly created CSV file.

How do I delete a record?

In the History screen, select a record that you want to delete. A thrash bin will appear on top of the screen. Selecting this will delete the record. Note that once you delete a record there is no way of retrieving the record.

How do I customize the limit value table?

Within Glucobyte you have the option of choosing classification based on ADA or creating your own custom limits with category descriptions, limit values and color codes. To create your custom classification, go to More section of the app, select limit values and select Custom. Tap on any fields to modify it.
