6.5.3      Data types

With the function Data types you are able to create your own additional categories that you want to track in SiDiary. You have the free choice whether you want to enter a numeric value, a selective list, etc.

This gives you the flexibility to track several data or complete different information (for example the distances in your bike training) - besides the standard diabetes parameters - that might be relevant for your therapy.
