  • If you signed up after July 2024 it will start with different settings.

  • After mapping a dosage to the appropriate chemical, confirm the unit of measurement. 
    • Why? In case we’re mapping to your own custom dosage category with a different unit of measurement. This ensures that, whatever we’re using, we can set this up to match it and get accurate dosage recommendations.
  • To change a measurement setting, click the scale icon to enter the new UOM and click Continue.

    • The new dosage will appear on the main Readings & Dosages page.
    • You will need to set a cost and price per unit after completing the LSI activation process.
