Reminders

All reminders are managed in your pet's tab › Reminders. The Coming up list at the top of the screen shows what is scheduled, so you can confirm that reminders are set correctly.

Insulin

At each shot time sends a reminder at the morning and evening shot times. Nudge if a shot isn't logged sends a follow-up if no shot has been recorded within a period you choose, from 15 minutes to 2 hours. This helps prevent both missed doses and double doses.

Choose the reminders that suit your routine.

Meals

A meal reminder can arrive with the shot reminder or 15, 30 or 45 minutes before it. The Fill the bowl option lists the planned portions in the reminder, which is helpful when someone else is feeding your pet.

Medications, glucose and logging

DiaPetic can remind you about morning, evening and once-a-day medications and supplements, and before a course of medication ends. It can also remind you to check glucose before each shot and to check on your pet after a low reading. A daily logging reminder and a weekly weigh-in reminder are also available.

Supplies

Supply reminders warn you before insulin, syringes or food run low; you choose how many days in advance. Time to open a new bottle reminds you when the insulin bottle in use reaches the end of its usable life. Unopened bottles and boxes you have recorded are taken into account, so you will not be prompted to reorder when spares are on hand.

Checkups

Remind me to book a checkup prompts you every 3, 6 or 12 months, counting from your last completed visit, and only when no appointment is already scheduled. Reminders for scheduled appointments are set on each appointment in the Vet tab.

Custom reminders (Gold)

Tap Add a reminder to create your own. Ready-made options include heartworm prevention, flea and tick prevention, insulin prescription refills, a fructosamine test or glucose curve, vaccines, nail trims, grooming, tooth brushing and cleaning the water bowl. You can also choose Something else…. Set the date of the first reminder and how often it repeats, from once to yearly.

Snoozing and troubleshooting

Each reminder can be snoozed for 15 minutes or an hour. Tapping a reminder opens the relevant pet and screen.

If reminders do not appear, go to iPhone Settings › Notifications › DiaPetic and make sure notifications are allowed, and check that a Focus mode such as Sleep is not silencing them. If notifications are turned off, the Reminders screen displays an Open Settings button.
