I use the same app. They did muck up the update :grumble: , but were quick to put things right and they answer your emails
.
I like all the graphs and the fact you can track BG, food (as amount of carbs), A1c results, body fat% and weight, blood pressure and pulse, medication, and exercise.
You can also email a log to yourself or your doctor.
And it's free :happy:1 -
Anyone know of an app that stores the data in the cloud rather than on the device? I'd like to be able to add entries from my phone, tablet or PC, whichever happens to be closest when I'm testing. The app I currently use, BG Monitor Diabetes (http://www.gordon-wong.com/bgmonitor/), only stores data on my phone. I like the app, but I'd like to have it use one data set on multiple devices.1

Yep, this is the one that I use medivo!! Love it!! And I use Dosecast to help keep me accountable for taking my meds (daily and on time).0

I'm a creature of habit and have chose not to install the updates for fear of mucking up the water, what issues did you have and did you like their update?0 -
Problems after the updates were mainly with ave glucose graph, the pie chart 'disappeared' and in the reports section the log was blank and glucose by category values were wrong. These all seemed to be fixed now except the glucose by category for some of the values. Emailed them again and they say they are working on it.
Main thing on the up date is that they've moved the 'save' button to the top of the screen and it only shows when you've entered the required value for that field. Anything else not sure of as only recently started using it.
As for the cloud and multiple device uses, a number of people have requested this feature. But this is a free app so it may/may not happen.
I've now canceled all the automatic updates for now lol.1 -
I use Ontrack also for tracking glucose. I wish they would build this tracking into MyFitnessPal. That would make it perfect.4

Thanks for your feedback. It seems I'm not missing out by not updating, personally, I like the save button where it is with my version.
I may decide to update in the future now that they've made a fix to those issues.0 -
Still waiting for a fix for the Glucose by Category. :grumble:0

I've been using Glucose Buddy PRO from Azumio (I have an iPhone, iPad and computer). I have found that I can log in from anywhere and update my logs and print out a spreadsheet to take to my doctor. I've been really happy with it so far, but it is the only one I've used. You can track BG, Meds, Food, Activity (i use MFP and Logyourrun for that) A1C, BP and weight...pretty handy for me 1

Hi Arleen, I've heard many people say they really like and enjoy using the glucose buddy app. Today's technology is GREAT!0

An interesting interview and read by Zen Terralonge of ME, mobile entertainment.

I gave up on phone apps.
I had 2 different ones, and after paying for the "real" app after the free version expired, all of my data not only disappeared, but
I kept getting messages to pay for the upgrade.
Now I just write everything down, then enter it into a spreadsheet on my PC.
It's annoying as all get out, but not as annoying as wanting to flush my phone, which is bad for my blood pressure and could be harmful for the phone. :bigsmile:
My sons think I am a cranky old woman who doesn't know how to use her phone.
That's rubbish.
I simply do not have patience to sit around for 20 minutes pecking at my phone, trying to enter data into an awkward, non-intuitive application that will not function or retain the information.
Just call me "Maxine" ( as in the Hallmark Crabby Road character)

I use one called Glucose Companion. The free version only allows you to have 30 entries, but I think it was only $1.99, so I do think it is worth it.

My meter comes with software, but it will only run on a PC, and I am a Mac user. All of my computers, phones and tablets are Apple, so I needed to find something else to use.
I like that it gives you lots of options to list when you tested, rather than just Before Meal and After Meal, like my meter has. They let you set your ranges and will highlight the numbers if they go over. I do wish they would allow for a Before Meal range and an After Meal range. Right now if I test after a meal, even if I am under the after meal range, the apps marks it as high.
And it lets you print out reports that you can email right to your doctor or diabetes professional.0 -
I've been using Ontrack, but am testing out one from these folks which is quite interesting...

I recently had an HbA1c lab test showing my results below as a comparison.
The ReliOn home test result; is; 5.8.
The Bayer test kit result being; 5.4.
The OnTrack android tracking app I currently use, estimated my HbA1c to be 5.1.
My local lab draw BG sampling within the same hour resulted in a value of 5.6.2 -
The apps mentioned - do any of them that track food also have the ability to scan a UPC code like myfitnesspal does?2

Should have mentioned that I am an Apple user. I have an iPad and an iMac.0
