Insights help you look across multiple diary entries to see how your disability or health condition has affected you over time.
What can Insights show?
Individual diary entries tell you what happened on one day.
Insights help you step back and look for patterns across several days or weeks.
You may notice that:
- certain activities are consistently harder than others
- your difficulties increase during flare-ups
- poor sleep is followed by greater fatigue
- you need more help on particular types of days
- an activity regularly causes a longer recovery period
The charts are there to help you understand your own diary.
They do not calculate PIP or ADP points and they do not decide whether a particular descriptor applies.
Use the chart alongside your actual diary entries so you can see both the pattern and the real examples behind it.
