Embarrassingly, I am not even sure what differences there are that could be a plus. It could be that I am missing out.

I think Cronometer is a bigger bang for the $$, since it tracks many more nutrients and has generally more reliable food content information.

I am trying premium, more information available for tracking, think it is worth the extra cost

Let me know how you like it. I don't have it... I'm too cheap. Lol

I'm new to this group, just checking out the differences between this site and Sparkpeople.com to see if I want to switch to MFP.

Sparkpeople.com is free, and they have diabetes management programs - for pre-diabetes, Type I and Type II - that lets you track carbs per meal, and even breaks down the amount of carbs, protein, fat, you should have at each meal & snack. It also lets you track your blood glucose levels. It follows the recommendations of the American Diabetes Association.

It's free - they have a Premium version of Sparkpeople as well, but I didn't find it useful. It's worth looking into.

I just tried chronometer. I liked it but have used MFP for a long time and think I will stick with it since my "stuff" is logged here. There are lots of instructional videos on how to use it. If I'd started with that I might have stuck with it.
