Change your name, date of birth and diabetes setting

Your profile holds three details: your name, your date of birth and whether you have diabetes. You entered them when you first set up the app, and you can change them at any time. Changing them is free.

Open your profile

1. Tap Other, the last icon in the row at the top of the screen.

2. Scroll down to the section Miscellaneous.

3. Tap Users.

The list shows your profile with your age and the line Diabetes. If no date of birth is entered, it shows Unspecified instead of the age.

Change the details

1. Tap the three dots on the right of your profile.

2. Tap Edit at the top of the screen.

3. The screen User setup opens. To change the name, tap the name field and type.

4. To enter or change the date of birth, tap the field under Date of birth and choose the date. You can type the date or pick it in the calendar.

5. Under Select if you are a diabetic, tick or untick Diabetes.

6. Tap Save at the top of the screen.

Do not leave the name empty. If you tap Save with an empty name, the app shows Field is empty!, closes the screen and keeps the old details.

The "Complete profile" tip

As long as no date of birth is entered, the Other tab may show the tip Complete your profile setup, in order to get more accurate statistics. Tap Complete profile to open the same fields. On this screen there is no Save button: your changes are saved when you go back.

What your details are used for

• The name appears on PDF reports and in the file names of exports, and it tells profiles apart when several people use the app.
• The date of birth and the diabetes setting are used only for one extra mark: when the option Threshold for diagnosis is switched on, the app picks its threshold from your age and diabetes. See Choose the guideline for the colours and categories.
• They do not change the colour or the category of your readings. Those come from the guideline you choose.

Your details stay in the app on your phone, and in your Google Drive backup if you use one.

Profiles for other people

Each person who records readings in the app should have their own profile, so that their readings, charts and reports stay apart. Adding a second profile needs Premium. See Profiles for family members.

What to check if it does not work

• The app shows User with that name already exists!. Another profile already has this name. Choose a different name.
• Your changes are gone. If the name field was empty when you tapped Save, the app did not save. Open the profile again, type a name and save.
