Great App--Have been Using for years

I love this app. I've been using it for years to record my diabetes data. It's been consistently good and simple to use and it makes it easy to share data with my doctor. I just wish I could share with apple Heath.

Replaced my Palm application

This released fixed the touch screen. Thanks Chris for the fix. Still the best Diabetes app out there.

New version has nice interface but is not very sensitive to touch. Have to make several attempts to be able to make entries. Still top of the line app.

Been looking for a replacement for my Palm UTS system. Only thing missing is being able to add a list of meds commonly used by Type II . I use both insulin and oral meds. Program is very easy to use.

Kinda kludgey

It is supposed to receive data from the Insulin Calculator app (same developer) but it doesn't seem to. I'm looking for a different app to replace this one.

Nice app

Nice app. Easy to use. You can export all results and you can send them to doctor. You can even customize time of day and add notes. But please do UI update for iOS 7. Thank you.

Diabetes Diary

I have found this Ap to be easy to use as well as a great way to print out or send my results to the doctor

Almost there

This a great program almost. It is missing the ability to deal with fast and slow acting insulins separately. Also, I need to be able to enter a decimal for the correction factor, such as "3.5" rather than 3 or 4. I would be able to have tighter control that way. Keep up the good work.
Thank you

Almost perfect

After trying numerous apps, this one seems to be the best so far. It is easy to enter data and produce charts and graphs. So far the best app for people like me on more than one kind of insulin. My favorite, most used app!!

One of the best...but

Great app overall. Very quick and easy to enter data; time-of-day is populated based on clock time and this is tied to all entries made at same time many other apps make u select time if day...and for each event even if entered together Would like to see better exporting of data though. App will group events done at one time (BG,carb,ins) onto one line, but this grouping disappears on export to HTML or csv. Also no way to get 24-HR averages report out of the app. Can capture graphs into photos and email which is ok. Biggest problem is can't reach developer for support??? Emailed 4 days ago w/no reply and just sent f/u which came back 'undeliverable'. Bummer! Chris, are you there still? You have done a great job so hoping you will keep up with this app!! Tx

Missing Critical Pieces for Type 2s

I just downloaded this app less than 2 hrs ago (in my search for the easiest & best way to manage my T2 Diabetes and already I'm having problems AND issues; problems with stability (20+ crashes in less than 2 hrs ... as they say on ESPN: "Come On Man!"); issues in the app design ... advanced T2s often take several types of insulin but in the Daily overview you lump all types of insulin together ... BOGUS! I need to know that I took 10 inits of Novolog AND 31 units of Levemir, lumping these together is a little like saying I've got 15 gallons of hydrocarbons in my car instead of 11 gals of gas and 4 gals of oil. 15 doesn't tell me how far my car will go and 41 units of Insulin doesn't tell me anything about what my body is doing.
I'll hold on to this app for a while and check back to see if anything has improved (being retired on a fixed income I have issues with throwing money away) ... but for now I'm going back to using Glucose Buddy for tracking my data, Glucose Companion for showing my BG graphs, and CarbControl for predicting my Carb intake to calculate how much fast insulin I need before each meal ... the search goes on for "One App to Rule Them All."

What a great app

This was exactly what I was looking for. It tracks everyting I need to know. It's easy of use makes it a "must have" for serious traking of your diease. Support questions were quickly answered

New version crashes immediately. Lost all data.

Crashes immediately. I have lost all access to my data.

Easy to use and has options

Good app, easy to use. You can add your own info as notes and can can make your own descriptions of when such as fasting, before lunch etc.
Can log where injection site was and if like me you use different insulins, you can add edit your own and select which you used.

When it exports to cvs file time and date are in the same column. I would like to see the time and date seperated,as it look confusing.

Perfect

Seriously, this 2.99 app might have just added years of health to my life! It's so easy to use, works like a charm, and gives you everything you need without giving you the information overload of other programs that just distracts you from seeing the real patterns. Being able to filter variables and switch from list to graph views has allowed me to really understand the patterns and reasons for my highs and lows and allowed me to adjust my insulin levels to exactly where they work best. Thank you so much for this program. Literally, it's a life-saver!

Finally! Thank you!

Finally a diabetes app that lets you record blood sugar, carbs, and insulin dose etc., all on one easy to use page. Better yet, you can choose to have the app open to this "add" page, so that you can record everything on the fly without having to switch pages or create multiple records. Good graphs, easy data transfer, lots of ways to customize. Ideal for this type 1 diabetic.

Layout is easy...wish I could print the graph

I have a daughter with type one diabetes. We are running all the time and I needed a portable BG diary application to input her information into. I tried several other apps, but I needed something quick and easy. The layout is what I like best about this application. The "home" is layed out in an easy to input "go down the list and input" style. I use the insulin setting where I can put in decimals as my daughter is on a Levemir/pump untethered regimin. The different colors for the different insulins (which are already listed...thank you) is very helpful. The way the information you input is displayed in the "list" is also what I like. Other applications just listed the information one right under the other; some had an indicator on the side as to whether is was insulin, carbs, or BG. This app lists one on top of the other but it keeps the BG in one column, the carbs in the next column and the insulin (in color) on the third column. The "day" segments are very helpful as well. The info is much easier to look at and read! It also puts BG in red if it is out of the range you set. I like the feature where you can specify where the shot was given. I know there is not an official food list or place to make a list of food but this is no problem for me as I hated making a list on other apps and then having to scroll through the list to put in every food she ate...again too much time to do that!!! I just put the food she ate into the notes. I like that I can add "time of day categories" as I use the "during night" and "ramdom" if it is an odd check for highs or lows. I can export the information into a file where I copy and paste the info into my own graph that I created (although I REALLY wish the graph on the iPod could be printed as I REALLY like that graph!!!). I wish the date and time on the export file were separated, though, as it would be easier to work with in creating my own graph. I am sold on this application; easy and quick to use. Just perfect for me!

A great ap for logging blood sugars! Even my doctor can handle a speadsheet No more papers to fax!

great ap

GUI Flaw

Screenshot #2 above is in the EDIT mode. Notice that the SAVE button is in blue; great. BUT, while editing the NOTE, the option buttons are {Edit Reading (back to)} and {CLEAR}.
β€’ Any CLEAR function button should be in RED. Any action that DELETEs info should be in red. Wrote a lengthy blurb and clicked "Save"; oops, that was the CLEAR button. Dang, dang, dang.
Βͺ GUI Fix: Actually, the buttons in the EDIT NOTE mode should be {left side CANCEL} and {right side SAVE}, the same as it is in Screenshot #2 above. A third, red CLEAR button could be included
Why 5 stars then? Because the App is the most comprehensive!

Best app for DM I've found in a decade!

I'm a recent migrant from the Palm platform to the iPhone, and I've tried many diabetes applications on the Palm, and have inspected the iTunes advertisement pages for the ones for iPhone. This app is by far the most useful of any app I've found. If you are newly diabetic, or are newly on insulin, and your physician instructs you on your insulin dosing, then you might want to purchase an app which allows you to record your dietary intake, which this app doesn't. However, if you are at the point in your disease where you don't need to record your diet, and you titrate your insulin dose yourself and are tweeking the dosing, then this is hands down the best app I've found for either Palm or iPhone. Its superiority rests in the graphics display. It both shows a line graph of your glucose level (values being on the y axis on the left side of the window), and has a histogram of insulin dose taken for each glucose reading (values being on the y axis on the right side of the window), with the different insulin types being displayed in different colors. This is not only a gorgeous looking graph, it is the most useful one I've found, and I've been looking for this exact type of display for years in a diabetes management application. The reason this feature is important is that it allows you to visually see in graphic format the changes in glucose control which your changes in insulin dosing make (and for me it proved that, contrary to my MD's claim, Lantus insulin puts my glucose trough at 16-18 hours later, not 24 hours later). In addition, I wrote to the author, only a few weeks ago, that I'd like to see the different insulin types in different colors on the histogram (in the earlier version they were all the same color), and the update I received last night had that feature. I love it!

Does not accept data on iTouch 2.2.1 (correction)

Looks like this is the beginning of a good application. It will not work for me. I cannot get it accept my glucose readings or insulin reading. It does not seem to recognize the taps. ***SEE BELOW*** Also it appears to only accept mmol/L if it did function. There do not appear to be any user options or preferences either. 1.99 + tax is an expensive way to find out that it does not function as advertised. NOT GOOD! TRY AGAIN. MIA CULPA! It takes a little finesse to move the readings. It does work, and well, once my ham handed fingers learned to do it correctly. When I contacted the author he was quick to respond. Thanks Chris.
