GlucoTrend: blood glucose tracker and diabetes diary for Type 1 and Type 2. Log a reading in under 5 seconds, see your trends, get an estimated A1C — and finally understand your blood sugar without the spreadsheets. LOG IN UNDER 5 SECONDS Tap, type, done. Tag each reading (Fasting, Before Lunch, After Dinner, Bedtime, Activity) so your glucose journal actually means something. Add notes, track medications and insulin doses, log weight and blood pressure — your complete diabetes management diary, all in one place. SEE YOUR REAL PATTERNS Daily averages, time in range (TIR), and streaks that reward consistency. Upgrade to Pro for deeper insights: estimated A1C (GMI), glucose variability (CV%), distribution charts, and time-of-day breakdowns that show exactly when your readings drift — the kind of analysis your endocrinologist will actually want to talk about.
