## What is PetBG Journal?

Caring for a pet with diabetes comes with daily routines: check glucose with a meter, note insulin, and watch how glucose levels change over time. PetBG Journal keeps the glucose readings, insulin doses, times, weights, and notes you enter together in one pet history.

From the Meter to the Log

Check your pet's glucose with your meter, then manually log the glucose reading, insulin dose, time, weight, and notes. Each reading appears against the glucose range you keep for your pet and is marked Critical Low, Low, Expected, or High.

See How Glucose Levels Change

Open Trends to review 1 week, 4 weeks, or 1 year. See readings in context with Time in Range, average glucose, variability, reading count, and low and high events. PetBG organizes what you enter; it does not make a clinical assessment.

Share One History

Sign in with Apple and invite a partner, family member, or trusted friend to your pet's Care Team. A Care Team member opens the shared pet profile, adds a glucose reading, and sees the same history. Shared entries show who added them.

Create a PDF Report for Your Veterinarian

Choose 1 week, 4 weeks, or 1 year to create a PDF report with the glucose trend, Time in Range, summary metrics, low and high events, and a reading log with insulin and notes. PDF reports are included without PetBG Pro.

Guest Mode and Signed-In Sync

Use guest mode without creating an account, and keep logging when your device is offline. After you sign in, changes sync across supported devices when a connection is available. Care Team sharing requires sign-in and a connection.

Free and PetBG Pro

PetBG includes one pet profile, trends, medication reminders, PDF reports, and one additional Care Team member. PetBG Pro adds CSV import and export, multiple pet profiles, and a larger Care Team.

Important Information

PetBG is intended as a record-keeping and visualization app, not as a medical device. It does not diagnose your pet, recommend treatment or insulin amounts, or control a glucose meter or insulin device. Always make treatment decisions with your veterinarian.

This app helps me to track my cats glucose levels on daily bases. I log manual readings twice a day and keep track of the weekly and monthly trends, so I can consult with my veterinarian and adjust insulin dosage if needed

### 5/5 — Much better than spreadsheets

the app helps me to save so much time! I switched from spreadsheets to using this app entirely as it’s much more convenient

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 2.0.1 — 2026-08-13

Fixed
• Accepting a Care Team invitation no longer asks you to set up a pet of your own, or offers to move your own readings onto the shared pet.
• Signing in during setup no longer overwrites the name, glucose ranges, or insulin dose of a pet shared with you.
• The keyboard for a new glucose reading in mmol/L sometimes opened without the decimal key.

### 2.0.0 — 2026-08-11

Added
• A Home dashboard with the last reading, a countdown to the next medication, a trends card showing average glucose, time in range, and reading count, and the Care Team.
• Sign in with Apple to sync a pet's history across your devices.
• Invite someone you trust to a pet's Care Team so they can log readings and see the same history. A free account shares each pet with one Care Team member; PetBG Pro raises that limit.
• Each Care Team member has a profile showing the readings they logged for that pet, when they joined, and who invited them.
• A Care Team member can leave a shared pet, giving up their own access while the owner keeps the history.
• Hand a pet's primary ownership to another Care Team member, who accepts the offer in the app.
• A daily care routine for each pet, from checking glucose to giving insulin, editable wherever it appears and visible to the whole Care Team.
• Medication reminders for the morning and evening injections, and a notification center listing what is scheduled. Reminders are on from a new install.
• Reminders through your first two weeks, and one-time suggestions on Home to set up reminders, sign in, or share a pet.
• A PDF report for your veterinarian, from "Share with Veterinarian", covering glucose readings, time in range, and low and high events.
• Trends adds a time-in-range timeline, a summary of low and high events, and average glucose, variability, and reading count.
• A photo on each pet's profile.

Changed
• Four tabs with Home as the landing screen, and the Log tab is now Readings.
• Onboarding captures each pet's care routine.
• A visual redesign across the app, with larger touch targets, haptic feedback, Dynamic Type, and Reduce Motion support.
• The pet profile keeps the photo, details, treatment, and glucose ranges on one screen, and shows how complete the profile is.
• The app works offline and syncs once a connection returns, reporting sync status only when something needs your attention.
• A reading shows the current name of the Care Team member who logged it.
• In-app text uses PetBG Journal for the app and PetBG Pro for the subscription.

Fixed
• The pet picker presents each pet the same way the rest of the app does.
• Pre-shot glucose thresholds are corrected for cats and dogs, so readings land in the right category.
• Weight converts correctly between pounds and kilograms.
• Insulin dose values round correctly.
• In dark mode, cards stand out from the background and the chart's colored zones stay legible.
• On the year view, each month's average sits in the middle of its month, labels line up with the readings they name, and edge labels no longer overlap.
• Entry times can't be set in the future, and a future-dated reading says so plainly instead of showing a generic error.

Removed
• The trend-direction indicator on Trends.
• The next-injection hint on the entry form.
