## What is BlueLoop?

BlueLoop® is the one and only tool that allows kids and their caregivers to log and share diabetes information - both online and with the app – real time, via instant e-mail and text message, giving peace of mind to parents, more class time for students, and fewer phone calls and paper logs for school nurses. Online, parents can share real-time BG logs with their clinicians, who can see logs (in the format THEY prefer), current dosages, and reports, all in one place.

Our insulin calculator provides accurate and consistent dosing information between multiple caregivers both at home and at school. This precise dosing and documentation will aid providers in insulin dose adjustments to improve clinical outcomes.

### 4/5 — Easy to use

*2026-04-30, version 3.2.0*

This app definitely made calculating our son’s insulin much easier! It’s very simple to use, and we’re easily able to teach other caregivers how to use. We have been using it for about the last year with little trouble. I think there was maybe 2 time where the app was not functioning, so we had to calculate the insulin by hand.  Also if you choose to put in the CGM trend, it will adjust the dose for you, so be aware of that!

### 5/5 — This app was a life saver

*2026-01-29, version 3.2.0*

With a child that was recently diagnosed we left the hospital completely overwhelmed. How would we track all of this? How would we communicate it effectively to the doctors and nurses? And the math…!! This app covers it all and then some. Easy to use and understand. It gave us the  confidence we needed to know we were dosing our child correctly. This app also allowed us to get information to our medical team quickly resulting in great response times and quality adjustments to his ratios. When we are all looking for those tools that can just reduce the burden a little more, this app is a must have for your tool box. Thank you BlueLoop for all that you’ve done to make our days so much brighter!

### 1/5 — Slow and buggy

*2023-08-18, version 2.3.46*

Looks like it was developed in 2002 and feels as fast. In desperate need of a rewrite. I can’t even register an account.

### 5/5 — Login

*2020-12-01, version 2.3.46*

At some point recently, the app changed to where I have to enter my login and passwd everytime I open the app again... what changed and how do I fix?

### 5/5 — Best app

*2020-11-30, version 2.3.46*

Love this app. It has saved us some much

### 5/5 — UPDATE: Hands-down amazing app to track our son's Type1!

*2020-06-30, version 2.3.46*

Scroll down for my thoughts, three weeks in!....

Literally just downloaded this five minutes ago... Easy to set up. My spouse and I both tried adding meals, glucose, insulin intake... It sent each of us texts to alert the other of the entries. The formal spreadsheet looks PERFECT for presenting to our doctor for visits, and my son can also add his own numbers. 

Our 10y/o was just diagnosed last week.... So this is all so new to us.  I'll keep this posted, after using it for awhile. But this looks PERFECT, to keep us all in the loop of his numbers and food intake!!

UPDATE- 6/29/20:
This has been such a wonderful addition to keeping up with my kiddos numbers! Went for a follow up visit (his second since diagnosis), and the doctor asked for our records for him over the past week... And this shows everything in such a nice, way format that is quick to be able to point out highs and lows - the doc was impressed!

I also had to leave my son with a family member, as I had to travel for work this week. So, I was able to quickly and easily add them as another caregiver, show them how I add in the "notes" section the exact food he consumed... And now when she put it in, I can see everything as soon as she confirms it. Brings such peace of mind. 

Only suggestion:
I love the quick edit for the "main meals and snacks"... Just wish there was a way to edit others (ie, Post- excercise, if I realized forgot to add something), after inputting. But it is a minimal issue.

Ps - We have had no issue with this crashing, as other users have stated. Sometimes it takes a second to populate, but not a big deal at all.

### 1/5 — Ugly and laggy

*2020-03-06, version 2.3.46*

The layout is so ugly like omg every single log app is so cute and this one is repulsive plus it lags and freezes a lot

### 3/5 — Had some frustrating glitches

*2019-08-18, version 2.3.46*

This app is tremendously useful and important, but if you click submit before you click calculate you end up in a painful loop of ads and the submission page MiNUS the calculate button. Seems like it would be an easy fix. This is a problem for new users. Always have a backup calculation method.

### 5/5 — Amazing for my T1D son

*2019-08-09, version 2.3.46*

I was having an issue logging I . I sent an email to Pam Henry(the creator of the app) She called me back in less than 30 minutes AND solves the issue for me. This app gives you overall reports that you just can’t create by handwriting your logs. It also makes communicating with your school and Dr so much easier. I am beyond impressed with this life changing app. Thank you Blue Loop for helping my son and I.

### 4/5 — Great App

*2019-01-22, version 2.3.46*

Had an issue with the app and they were able to fix it right away! Convenient to help figure out insulin dosing and keeping track of blood sugars.
