My problem was supposed to be escalated, but this has not been fixed yet. I unpaired my meters as part of troubleshooting and now the app won’t pair with any meter. Having to manually input meter readings is difficult for me. Please fix whatever the backend software people did between late August 11 and early August 12 to break this great software. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Endless requests for more access *2025-07-21, version 7.2.3* It’s harassment for you to ask me 30 times for permission for more access and more notifications every time I want to record a reading. Surely there’s a way you can record my preferences and not ask multiple times every single time I open the app. It makes me hate using it, so I record fewer records. I’m asking my doctor for a different option at our next meeting. Ugh. ### 5/5 — Using for years *2025-07-01, version 7.2.3* I finally realized I should send a report to myself on a weekly basis, not just to my doctor before a checkup. This way I can download all my records to my computer. There is one problem or bug. Periodically a survey pops up asking if I am taking a certain prescription. The problem is that I will be asked about the lower doses I am no longer taking before being asked about the higher dosage I take now. The lower doses were removed from the medication list when my dosage was increased. ### 4/5 — Measurements *2025-03-26, version 7.2.3* Many foods say “one serving. Some have the option of a half or a quarter. For most foods you need to have the label of the package to determine what a serving size is. This is very inconvenient, if you’re not near the food package or already disposed of it. Could you break it down more: Small Ex: an item says 1 srvg. The label says 1 srvg= 1 tblsp. If you only had 2 tsp, there is no choice except 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 etc. -none of which equal 2 tsp. ### 5/5 — Using for years *2025-02-14* I finally realized I should send a report to myself on a weekly basis, not just to my doctor before a checkup. **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your update, and it is great to hear you are optimizing your health reports. If you have any future questions, our Customer Care team is always ready to help. Keep up the great work! ### 5/5 — Diabetic help *2025-01-06, version 7.2.3* This app helps make me more conscientious about my meal planning and prepping. In conjunction with my Dexcom it helps me make good choices from meal to meal and day to day. I like the ease of use, tracking over time and ability to track many restaurants when I eat out. The only criticism is that serving sizes are not easily available for all foods so I have to either research on off site places or guess. ### 1/5 — Glitchy *2024-12-16, version 7.2.3* The app must be deleted and reinstalled if food information is not put in precisely the correct way; otherwise, the app crashes and I can’t log in. This issues has been ongoing for several years. ### 5/5 — Great program *2024-10-14, version 7.2.3* Great program ### 3/5 — Lots of issues *2024-10-11, version 7.2.3* Only syncs with meter abiut 60% of the time. Have to disable and re-enable Bluetooth several times and even then it may not sync. ### 1/5 — Stop Asking for More Access *2024-09-13* I use to app to track my glucose levels, and have overall been satisfied except for the continuing requests to add more information - meals, fitness, etc. With the most recent update, every time I open the app, which is every day, sometimes multiple times a day, before I can do anything, the app asks me to turn on notifications and to allow it to have full access to my health app. I am not interested in doing those things, and I should be able to use this app without having to tell you that multiple times a day. Please roll back these constant requests, or I will be unwilling to use this app going forward and I will ask my doctor to switch me to a different glucose monitor. **Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your feedback, and we would love to make things right with you. Please reach out to our Customer Care team at 1-888-611-4794, where we are ready to help improve your Bluestar experience. ## Frequently asked questions about BlueStar Diabetes ### What does the BlueStar Diabetes app do?
