Dose Helper – key information
About Dose Helper
• Dose Helper is a tool built in to JAZZ™
DoseCoach®.
• It helps you self-adjust your insulin
glargine doses by suggesting your
next dose. Dose Helper does this using
past information about your previous
doses and your fasting blood glucose
readings.
• Dose increases or decreases are
suggested in line with the treatment
plan set up by your doctor or nurse.
Dose Helper should be used as one
part of your self-titration treatment
program lead by your doctor or nurse.
>> See Section 4 for more information
on Dose Helper.
Only use Dose Helper to suggest
doses for the type of insulin your
doctor or nurse has activated it for.
You can check the type of insulin
Dose Helper can be used with in the
user agreement.
>> See page 151 for how to review
the user agreement.

Section 1 — Key information about JAZZ™ DoseCoach®
17
Dose Helper works best if:
• You measure your fasting blood
glucose every day.
• You run Dose Helper and save the
amount of insulin glargine that you
take every day.
Your insulin doses have to be saved so
they can be used by Dose Helper
• Save every insulin dose you take,
whether suggested by Dose Helper or
not.
• If you do not save your doses, Dose
Helper might not be able to give
you a dose suggestion or it could be
incorrect.
• If you took any dose(s) in the last day
that you did not save in Dose Helper,
then you will be given the chance
to enter it when you next run Dose
Helper.
Always run Dose Helper before you
take a dose.
• Use Dose Helper to save all doses you
take.
Dose Helper needs at least three days
of dose and fasting blood glucose data
to give dose suggestions
• When you first use Dose Helper, you
will have to save your doses and
measure your fasting blood glucose
for at least three days before it can
start giving suggestions.
• Dose Helper will tell you if you need to
get more data.
>> See page 76 for how to get dose
suggestions.

Section 1 — Key information about JAZZ™ DoseCoach®
18
What to do if you cannot get a dose
suggestion
• Dose Helper might not be able to give
you a dose suggestion if it does not
have enough information.
• Unless Dose Helper has turned off,
you can get dose suggestions once
you gather enough information. Dose
Helper will tell you what to do to get
enough information.
• You will have to save your doses
(in Dose Helper) and measure your
fasting blood glucose for at least
three days before Dose Helper can
start giving suggestions again.
>> See page 99 for getting dose
suggestions again.
You make the decision on what dose
you will take
• Dose Helper is a guide. It gives you a
suggested dose. It is not a substitute
for your judgement or for advice given
by your doctor or nurse. You must
make the final decision on what dose
you will take.
• This is because you know more about
your situation than Dose Helper does,
for example if you feel ill, if you are
planning travel or unusual activity, if
your doctor or nurse has given you
specific instructions, etc.
• Your doctor or nurse should explain
in which cases you should take a
different insulin dose, and other
actions you might need to take in
these cases.
• If you are not sure about what dose to
take, talk to your doctor or nurse.
