A 'One Day Intensive' is the tool for crisis management when you need to record a minute by minute picture of the situation.
A One Day Intensive is for tracking a crisis or emergency situation when a minute by minute log is needed.
These menu selections are particularly useful for the newly diagnosed Type I Diabetic to determine a good insulin regime.
To keep your physician appraised during those critical first few days, after you finish a One Day Intensive (ODI) make an 'EXPORT' folder from the 'Transfer Data' menu selection, zip it up and email it to your physician for immediate viewing on his/her 'LEVEL for Professionals'. Or even better, make use of Level Heathware's 'Internet Data Storage' feature... allowing your physician to continuously monitor your condition. You may also both view your current data at the same time, on your respective computers, and confer on the phone as you view. ...*see FAQs for more information on 'Internet Data Storage' ..

...if you are newly diagnosed with Type I Diabetes, or are making a major medication or insulin change, or your
readings for some inexplicable reason are suddenly going sky high and staying there, or you suffer a severe reaction,
or for some other reason......your physician may instruct you to write down everything you do for a 24 hour
period...even all the little details...to try to zero in on what is happening. This is known as a 'One Day Intensive', and
LEVEL permits you to record your One Day Intensives on the computer as they happen, for later viewing, and to have
a permanent record. The period of the intensive is up to 24 hours, then you may start a new one. The BGL data in
Intensives also feeds into all the other graphs and tables and the Log of the Intensive becomes a Dairy Dot.
After a series of One Day Intensives to stabilize the
situation, the 'Line Graph with Events and Numerics'
under 'Blood Glucose Levels' menu selection may be
used to maintain level readings.
A 'One Day Intensive' is also useful for tracking an Insulin
Reaction ( hypoglycemic or even coma ). Record the
antidotes you take so you may later evaluate their
effectiveness.
When a One Day Intensive (ODI) is finished its Blood
Glucose Level entries also become visible on all graphs
and tables, and its Log appears as a black colored dot on
Dairy Dot lines.
For exploratory and learning purposes you may 'Start' a
One Day Intensive at any time, make a few entries,
'Continue' it later, then 'Cancel' it with no data being kept.
