  • Pretty good

    I like that this app syncs with my glucose meter and fitness meter. I like the history tab where I can see my blood sugar, exercise and food in order for the day. It would be nice to see total daily carbs here like they show total daily steps taken so far. Even better if the food log would keep track of net daily carbs.

  • Love it

    I love being able to download my readings! That way my doctor and dietitian can see my progress!
  • Issues with syncing lately

    I like the app but it has not synced well with Dexcom for a while now. It seems like the app needs an update or maintenance. Or maybe it’s Dexcom that’s at fault.
  • Having issues

    I have had issues with my device syncing. The Dexcom took like two days of work to get it to sync to the app with up to date info. The glucose meter was synced but now won’t sync anymore. I know it’s not the meter because other Bluetooth devices are reading it. It’s just the app. If I didn’t have to have it to share with my son’s doctors I wouldn’t waste anymore time with it.

  • Bluetooth Sync

    I’m having a lot of problems with syncing and app hanging during sync. I also had problems with the setup with Accu Chek Guide wouldn’t find meter even when next to phone. Phone was also already paired with meter.
  • Great diabetes app for Type 1. Missing Apple Health Integration

    Pros:
    -Easy to read graphs.
    -Easy to enter information quickly without extra clicks.
    -Excellent reports on website.
    Allows entry of custom medications such as Symlin, GLP-1, etc.
    -Data export feature (however this could be better; I have to select the email option and then grab the file from an email rather than export directly).
    -Pleasing color scheme.
    -Reminders for medication
    -Displays average BG and insulin over various periods of time.
    -Syncs with Strava for exercise data!
    -Fast load without the extra useless eye candy of other diabetes management apps.

    Cons:
    -Does not write to Apple Health unless you have a CGM. For finger stick people, neither glucose nor insulin injections export to Apple Health.
    -Does not import food data from 3rd party apps. PLEASE PLEASE add this! This will bump to 5 stars! Either a sync with Cronometer or a read from Apple Health will do (Cronometer writes carbs, protein, and fat to Apple health). If you read carbs, fat, or protein from Apple Health, then effectively you have added sync from other popular food trackers such as myfitnesspal.
    -Export of CSV only vía email is a bit klunky, though it works.
    -Cannot remove bad data. If you have sugar on your finger or use a strip to test to make sure it is really Diet Coke that the waiter brought you, those readings cannot be removed from your database - and mess up your charts.

  • Almost complete

    This app is very good. I especially like the large number of glucose monitors it syncs with and the reports you can print. However it has short comings: the food database is limited, so many meals you have to enter by hand. This could easily be solved by better integration with the apple health app which syncs with many fitness and dietary apps. This brings up the other shortcoming, it only syncs with the apple activity section of the apple health app. It does not share the glucose information or any of the nutrition info that you enter. This could be a 5 star app with better syncing with the apple health app.

  • Simple

    Just hook up the dongle and go. Easier than getting the blood.
  • Love this app

    This app is great for diabetes management - I’ve tried the others and they don’t compare. Love the features and ability to use various meters as my insurance company seems to change which one is covered all the time. Love being able to connect with Strava for workouts and there hasn’t been a good I haven’t been able to track in this app thus far. I’m having some trouble with the share csv function which may not be popular but I like having it so if someone could help with this that’s be greatly appreciated!

  • Not computer savvy.

    I am having so much trouble knowing that my data is received at my providers. I cannot see any screen icons to tell me I did so. Maybe it’s just me.
