The box your glucose meter came in contains instructions for testing your blood sugar. For more information
visit the Mayo Clinic’s instructions
here.
Currently you can only set your blood sugar target range on the meter itself. It is best if the meter
matches the target range in the app. The safe zone in Brook is a range set as 80-180 mg/dL.
The in-the-zone target range on Brook is set to 80-180 mg /dL, or 4.4-10 mmol/L.
The range is currently not editable in the app.
The app, by default, will assign a meal marker automatically based on the time of day when the blood sugar
test occurred.
Readings that sync from a third party device or service are not editable at this time.
To check that your meter is connected to Brook you can go to your profile, and scroll down to “Apps
and Devices” → “Bluetooth devices.” If your meter is paired to Brook it will be
listed on this screen under “Paired devices.”
You may pair multiple Bluetooth enabled Brook supported glucose meters. The app will save all readings and
combine them on the blood sugar dashboard.
Note: the app can only sync with one connected meter at a time.
If you unpair a meter from Brook, the meter will be removed from the account and will no longer be able to
send data to the app. All previous data will remain available to view in the blood sugar dashboard.
If you unpair a meter by mistake, you can always connect the meter to Brook again by going to your profile
and selecting the meter you want to pair.
You can print or email a Doctor’s Report with all of your blood sugar data to provide to your
healthcare provider or doctor’s office.
Open Brook and then tap “Care Circle” in the top left.
Scroll down and select “Create Doctor’s Report.”
Select the timeframe of the report you want, and enter the email addresses you want it sent to.
At this time changes to settings on the meter must be done through the meter itself.
Where can I view all of my blood sugar readings?
All blood sugar readings can be viewed in your dashboard. Tap on “Profile” in the upper-right
corner of your Brook app, and then scroll to the blood sugar dashboard.
At this time, data that is pulled in from a third party device or service is not editable on Brook.
Go to your phone settings, find Bluetooth, and turn it on.
The glucose meter must be powered off before starting the pairing process. The Ok button needs to be held down
for 3 seconds to trigger the blue flashing light at the strip port.
Before you start the process, turn the glucose meter off.
Go to your Brook profile, then tap into “Bluetooth devices.” Tap on the icon at the top for
your specific supported meter. This will begin the pairing process.
Go to “Bluetooth devices” in your Brook profile. Locate your paired device in the list and
then swipe left across the meter. This will pull up a menu where you can tap “Unpair.”
