NHS

I’ve been using this app now for around 30 days as this is the app given out my NHS maternity services for gestational diabetes. It syncs with there system live.
Today I went onto the app to record my reading manually but had a message saying my 30 day free trial was up and I can no longer add manual readings in I have to pair my device. I rang my NHS midwife team and they have never had this problem and never heard of this happening!!!! WHY?

Issue with Overlapping Text in PDF Graph – Contour Diabetes App

I’m using the Contour Diabetes app and noticed that when I generate the PDF version of my blood sugar diary report, the graph section has overlapping text labels. This makes it difficult to read the data clearly, especially when there are multiple readings close together.
I’ve ensured my app is up to date and have tried generating reports with fewer entries, but the issue persists. Could you please advise if there’s a fix or update planned to improve the layout and readability of the graph in the PDF export?
Thank you for your support.
Best regards,Anik

Response from developer

Hello Anik! Thank you for your feedback and for reporting this issue. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused by the overlapping labels in the PDF graph. This can happen when several readings are close together. As a workaround, we recommend generating the report for a shorter date range, which can improve readability. We thank you again for your feedback as it is important to the development of this app. Thank you for your understanding and for using the Contour Diabetes App.

If only delete worked

I’ve been using this since October 2024, due to its Bluetooth connectivity, I find it beater than the previous device I had. The only downside I have with the app on iPhone, is the ability not being able to delete a reading that goes in twice. It does state if you swipe or hold down you can but it won’t. Fix this and it gets 5 stars

Response from developer

Hi Intempod, Thank you for your review and feedback! Automatically stored readings cannot be manually deleted, this is by design. Only manual readings can be added and deleted by users in the app. It's advisable to check that the meter and phone clocks match, as mismatched times can sometimes lead to duplicate readings. In the app go to: Menu>Settings>App Preferences>Meter Time and Date Sync. If you have any further questions or suggestions, feel free to reach out to our support team at diabetessupport@ascensia.com or call us on 0345 600 6030, Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm.

Best fasting feature

After 3 different glucose apps, I was annoyed that my fasting levels were always high but the other 3 apps would show them as being in target as they were in the range after a meal even though it should be much lower in the morning. They had settings where you could change the target for fasting but it wouldn’t reflect as much on the graph or stats. I decided to download this as I have the contour plus blue anyway. A lot better and easy to use for me as I just wanted to keep track of my glucose. I like how it sets up your breakfast , lunch and dinner time and you can adjust - would have been a little better if you could do it to the half hour rather than just the hour but not a dealbreaker. So this was nice that it would automatically label it as after lunch for you instead of selecting manually - and you could change it

I’ve only just downloaded it and haven’t played with it much but I like the fact that the readings go straight to the phone - although I had to manually sync for this mornings reading so would be a pain if I had to do that all the time - and also I can’t seem to delete readings on the app as my partner uses it too I didn’t want his readings to mix up my stats but haven’t looked into how to get around this issue yet, maybe he can delete on the monitor but haven’t checked yet.

Just really happy this app indicates to me when my fasting range is high, 5 stars for just that and it’s easy simple design to navigate.

Generally a good app, can sometimes seem quite slow to sync to Apple Health

The app seems ok enough. The design/UX of it seems a bit clunky/dated, but the app+device combo works well and it’s straight forward enough to take a reading. There are few areas that need improvement and the sync of your readings to your Apple Health seems very slow. (I have it connected, some of the readings come through bit it’s a bit hit or miss)
