Everything Glycoz records
The index, in 6 parts
18 modules, and permission to ignore most of them.
Health is not one number, so Glycoz is not one field — it records the pressure, the weight, the medicines, the meals and the sleep as well as the readings. But no two people need the same set, and an app that makes you carry somebody else’s checklist is one you abandon.
Always on: Blood Sugar Readings, Generate Report, My Care Team, Find a Doctor and Emergency Info. Everything else is a switch.
The idea
How the modules are meant to be used.
- A few are always on
- Blood Sugar Readings, Generate Report, My Care Team, Find a Doctor and Emergency Info. The readings the record starts from, the report you hand over, your doctors, a way to find one, and what somebody helping you needs to know. Everything else is a switch.
- Off means gone, not hidden
- Turn a module off and it disappears from logging, history, analytics, the home screen and your reports. It is not greyed out and it is not sitting there empty. What a connected doctor can see does not change — that is a separate switch.
- And what you recorded is kept
- Switching a module off hides it. It deletes nothing — turn it back on next year and the history is where you left it.
What a module is
Most share the same five parts.
Which is the useful thing about them: whichever you turn on next, you already know where its screens are and what it will do.
And the fifth part is the one that matters: a module that records something is not only a form — it is a unit your doctor sees through. Each one has its own switch on your sharing screen, per doctor, which is why most of the list below is also the list of your sharing switches.
Blood Pressure
One module, five parts
- A place to record itOne screen, reached from the same Log button as the others.
- A history you can page back throughEverything you entered, by date, with a calendar rather than an endless list.
- A card on the home screenToday's figure, if there is one — and never a zero standing in for a reading nobody took.
- A place in analyticsThe same measurement over a span, so a fortnight has a shape and not just a last value.
- And a switch your doctor sees throughthe shared oneIts own sharing switch, per doctor. This is the part that makes a module a unit of consent and not just a form.
The full list
Grouped the way the app groups them.
Same names, same groups, same order as Module Config on your phone — so a conversation about your record does not require translating between two different arrangements.

Three distinctions
Small decisions with consequences you would otherwise meet by surprise.
Each of these could reasonably have gone the other way. They did not, and the reason is worth two sentences each.
- Walking and cycling are two modules
- Not one called Activity. A walk is counted in steps as well as distance; a bicycle produces almost no steps, so a ride is measured by its distance and speed instead. They are also different things to share: almost everyone walks, while a ride is deliberate exercise with a duration and an intensity, and you may reasonably show a doctor one and not the other.
- Your watch is kept apart from what you typed
- Wearable readings live in their own module rather than being merged into the ones you fill in by hand. When a figure you entered and a figure a device produced disagree, they are both true — merging them would mean something silently picking a winner.
- Choosing your modules is not choosing what you share
- Two different screens, deliberately. One decides whether water intake exists in your app at all; the other decides which doctors can see it. Collapsing them would mean turning something off for one doctor removed it from your own phone.
Visibility
Every module that records something is a sharing switch.
Each one can be shared with, or withheld from, each doctor you connect — separately. So can your profile and the reports you generate. Turning something off for one doctor changes nothing for another, and it deletes nothing from your own record. The assistant has no switch at all: nobody can be shown it.
Where to start
Start with what you already write down.
The modules that are always on are there from the first screen, and the rest can wait. Turn something on the week you need it and off again the week you do not.
