Blood sugar and insulin use

The Blood Sugars and Insulin Use tool has three sections:

• Blood Sugars, which tracks your blood sugar levels

Procedures

The Procedures tool in My Personal Records lets you securely view your operative, procedure, and investigation reports from Alberta Netcare on your device.

Reports appear as soon as they become available, which may take up to 7 days. In some cases, you may see a report before your health care provider does.

Reports from Alberta Netcare are marked with a blue line and cannot be edited.

Before opening one, you will be asked to confirm that you want to view it. Some reports contain sensitive information.

You can also self-enter information for tests and procedures that do not automatically appear in My Personal Records like dental work and surgeries from another province.

Self-entered information is marked with a yellow line and can be edited.

Respiratory health

The Respiratory Health tool tracks the number of breaths you take each minute. Normal adult breathing rates range from 12 – 20 breaths per minute. Measuring your breathing rate often helps you find out if your body is getting enough oxygen.

This data can come from a connected device, such as Apple Health, or you can enter it.

Vital signs

The Vital Signs tool helps track some of the most important signs to your overall health including temperature, pulse, and blood pressure.

You can enter this data manually, or through a connected device like Apple Health.
