Exercise
Finally upgraded to the paid for version. Wish it had a way to record exercise.
Excellent diabetic insulin calculator
I have only started using it but is very powerful the carb calculator could have more foods but that is available elsewhere
Good for the price
This is a handy app to have. I love that it keeps track of insulin on board. Haven't found other apps that do the same.
Drawbacks would be:
1. Not enough room to input all the little snacks and lows my little 3 yr old has.
2. Only 1 long-acting insulin can be added for a day ( we do 2 small shots a day). This is very minor concern to us though.
3. Only 1 possible target BG.
4. No graphs
It's a super easy user friendly app that helps us with day to day life. Thumbs up!

Good-but could be better (v1.3)
I am a type II insulin using diabetic so a lot of my needs are met by this app as well. Like another reviewer, I also can test more in a day than the entries allotted, especially when I am ill. So I would like to see the ability to enter additional BGl levels independent of meals. A time column would also be essential for me. It is also very useful to be able to see a graph of my BGl over a period of time - I know that my doctor used to like it when I would bring a graph (from a previous PC pgm) with me for my office visit. It would be great if I could just show the results to him on my iPod Touch!
All in all, a good app that takes some of the hassle out of my routine but still needs some essential upgrades.

Wow! Taking the math out of diabetes management
What an amazing tool! Well worth the $4.99! This app parallels the Bolus Wizard in the Minimed insulin pumps!
+ Takes the math out of dosing
+ Keeps accurate logs in one simple device
+ Helps to achieve more results within target
+ Helps to reduce hypos
After nearly 20 years with type one, I am now off the roller coaster which adds up to more energy, enhanced well-being, less stress and less guilt (for not maintaining records) on the emotional side.
In future enhancements, it would be nice if the app could program different target blood sugars for different times of the day; factor in insulin on board; report on averages for time of day without having to mess around with Microsoft Excel; provide options for exercise ratios (perhaps low, medium, high intensity); and allow for more than one entry per time of day.

My favourite app
Great job on the update guys, with the addition of the note ability, this is now my favourite app for tracking my levels and insulin.
Keep up the great work and congratulations on a great app;)

Excellent
A great app. The database is quite well stocked already but being able to add your own makes it very useful. I use an Insulin pump and the dose calculator makes life so much easier for me. The support is excellent too. Had a few problems with it crashing to start with but an email to manufacturers soon sorted it. They even took note of my request for extra features and let me know personally when they'd added them! Well worth the money.

Can
Love this app, it has everything I need except for time. I can't wait until that is added. I eat as varying times and need the times to prevent stacking insulin.
A great app for daily use!
Thanks for the update, right in time for my iOS4. Works really great.
I am type I and I only care about the carbs.
There are 3 meal and 3 snack entries plus long acting, plenty for my measurement.
The best of this app is that it covers exactly the needs, simple and straightforward.

Finally a great app I can create my own favorites database and use it regularly and quickly.
The reports are of great help, I can see what I eat affect my BG, and I can save & see my daily BG, carbs, and insulin records.
I can also email the reports to my computer and to my doctor.
Very handy app with bolus, insulin & carbs calculation!
Great video demo too!

Not enough function for the price
Well, it's okay, but there is no time field for each record, and only 5 labeled record types. I monitor my BG much more frequently than 5x a day.
The food database is easy to use and it's easy to add foods to it, but you can only add carb info --- no fat or protein. I was hoping for a more comprehensive insulin and BG diary. Not worth the price for my needs.
