My diabetes chart

I am currently looking forward to using the graph to monitor my diabetes.

It's ok.

Well.... it's ok, a better UI than myfatnesspal but still a bit clunky

Response from developer

Hi, I am always open for ideas to improve the app. You are welcome to share them with the feedback link built into the app.

Diabetes Pal

It seems to work very well. I started using it after I had to restart finger sticks. The calculated A1C is a nice touch. It works for me.

It is needed to pay to have the data in the iCloud

I was expecting free app.
After entering my datas I found out having data in the iClaud is not free and I thought it was
Additionally, one need to pay to continue to use the app after 100 entries.
None of these is informed on the description.
I am looking for another app free of cost.

Response from developer

This is the original text from the description of the app: „The free application offers up to 100 entries without cloud syncing. Standard License In-App Purchase offers unlimited number of entries. Cloud Sync license offers the possibility to sync data to other devices (separate purchase for iPhone/iPad and Mac version needed).“ What is unclear about this? Furthermore the app is marked as having In-App purchases. But of course you are free to look for a free app, if your personal Diabetes management is not worth the price of 1 day of your medication costs. But please do not tell wrong things about what is written in the description. I have not modified this description for years now and it is highly unfair if you claim otherwise.

First time user

Once you get this app figured out, it seems to be very user friendly.

This is not a free App

The bad thing is I go to bed after Midnight and all times after Midnight will not record as bedtime, but night .

Apple needs to change it App post.
If it’s free for trial only, that should be the first thing the description says.

You have to pay for this app.
Don’t be fooled by the lack of warning.

A suggestion

Please make a video on how each feature is used for those of us newly diagnosed. A lot of what I see here is much the same as other apps. They too, do not have a guide. I think you would be one step ahead of your competition if you keep the sad newbies that just got diagnosed in mind. The education for this disease is so frustrating to go through and because each of us react differently to the medications it’s sometimes brings us to tears. Doing this one little thing relieves a little stress. I am one who needs readjustment of several medications and I am asked to keep a journal. That is so cumbersome to stop and pull out a notebook etc. this app has a lot of wonderful features and while I’m not a noob (diagnosed 18 years ago) I still find some of these features confusing. A video would go a long way.

Wishing nothing but success for you,
Deci

The best Diabetes app out there.

I own this app on all my apple products and love it. It loads fast, and has a lot great recording features.
I needed help with my Apple Watch Diabetes Pal app and Pascal replied back fast, and figured it out, I just needed to force touch the screen to activate the glucose, insulin, etc. entry fields.

Kind of a bummer

So, I started using Diabetes Pal as a back up. I am a couple of months into it and it has notified me that I can only keep 100 results. That’s REALLY lame! Most diabetics check bs several times a day and that adds up to 100 quickly!! And it’s nice to look back and see patterns. Can’t do that with this app!! Deleted it!!

Response from developer

Hi, I am sorry that you are disappointed. I take great care in being open and giving all the informations upfront. In the description of the app I have a section explaining, what licenses there are (just 2), so that people will know in advance. I am saddened that in your case this was not enough. If you have an idea on how to make this more clear then I am more than happy to do this.
