How to Use Stash

<aside> 👋

Version 1.4.0

Stash is a diabetes supply inventory tracker built for people with Type 1 diabetes — whether you're managing with an insulin pump or multiple daily injections (MDI). This guide walks you through everything you need to know to get the most out of it.

1. Getting Set Up: Settings

Before anything else, take a few minutes to configure Settings. This is what powers Stash's days-remaining estimates and trip planning calculations — so the more accurate your inputs, the more useful Stash becomes.

To get there: from the main screen, tap the ⋯ menu in the top-left corner and choose Settings.

If you use an insulin pump:

Insulin Pump — Toggle this on. The dashboard and planner will reorganize to match your setup.
Pump Refill Source — Choose whether you refill your pump from vials, pens, or both. This affects how your insulin inventory is organized.
Daily Pump Usage — Enter your average total daily insulin in units. This drives your days-remaining estimate for rapid-acting insulin and your trip packing calculations.
Site Change Interval — Set how often you change your infusion site (e.g., every 3 or 4 days). Stash uses this to calculate how long your infusion sets, cartridges, and tubing will last.
Enable Full Pump Change — Turn this on if you want a one-tap shortcut on the dashboard to log a full pump change (infusion set + cartridge + tubing) all at once.

If you use MDI (multiple daily injections):

Daily Basal — Your total daily long-acting insulin dose in units.
Daily Bolus (average) — Your average total daily rapid-acting insulin in units. Stash will show a combined "Total Daily Insulin" figure below these two fields.
Daily Injections — How many injections you give per day. Used to calculate how long your pen needles or syringes will last.
Sharp Type — Choose whether you use pen needles or syringes.
