Read full descriptionHide full description
This app aims to transfer some of the flexibility of insulin pump and "artificial pancreas" systems to MDI (Multiple Daily Injections) therapy. The target audience is primarily people with Type 1 Diabetes who are receiving such treatment and using a CGM sensor. Even if not all of the above applies to you, sweet.spot still offers a wide range of general diabetes management features that could be helpful for you. For those without a CGM system, glucose readings can be entered manually. The app's key feature is the dose calculator, which provides recommendations for mealtime and correction insulin doses. All you have to do is enter the carbohydrate content of your meal, and the app will automatically factor in all other variables, such as insulin and carbohydrates currently active in your body or dosing adjustments based on the time of day. KEY FEATURES - Insulin action, meals and glucose levels in a single integrated view - Dose recommendations based on carb intake, active insulin and glucose - Real-time glucose data from your CGM system - Notifications of recommended insulin or carb corrections - Assistance in finding the perfect therapy settings based on recent data - Home screen widget with your current values - Nightscout follower - Nightscout uploader (glucose and treatments) [PRO] - Apple Health follower and uploader - Basal insulin auto-logging and reminders - Advanced therapy reports to view, share, or print [PRO] - Up to last 90 days of historical data and statistics [PRO] PRO features are available with a monthly subscription or a lifetime plan. Cancel subscriptions any time in Settings › Apple Account at least one day before each renewal date. Plan automatically renews until cancelled. DISCLAIMER Do not use this app as a substitute for professional medical care. Do not rely on this app when making treatment decisions.

DiaPocket is a digital logbook and assistant for people with type 1 diabetes. The app helps you record, visualize, and prepare all relevant diabetes data in one place—especially for medical appointments. Why a diabetes logbook? Living with type 1 diabetes means making hundreds of decisions every single day: How much insulin? When to eat? How does my body react to exercise? A structured logbook is key to recognizing patterns, adjusting therapy, and achieving better long-term glucose control. Instead of endless notes, spreadsheets, or multiple apps, DiaPocket provides a single, clear and organized platform for all your diabetes documentation. CORE FEATURES OF THE LOGBOOK Blood Glucose Tracking: Record glucose values (20–600 mg/dL) Mark trends (rising, falling, stable) Note data source (manual entry, CGM system) Visualize glucose curves across days and weeks Insulin Logging Document bolus insulin (NovoRapid, Fiasp, Lyumjev) Track basal insulin (Lantus, Tresiba, Toujeo) Note injection sites (abdomen, thigh, arm) Track when and how much insulin you administered Meals & Carbohydrates Log carbohydrate amounts in grams Note fat and protein content for delayed glucose rises Add meal photos (optional, stored locally) Describe meals for later evaluation Lifestyle & Activities Record exercise and physical activity (type, duration, intensity) Document stress levels and illness Log special events (alcohol, menstrual cycle) Understand how daily life affects your glucose levels Timeline View Clear 24-hour timeline of your day All events at a glance: glucose, insulin, meals, exercise Color-coded markers for quick orientation Detail view with extended information FREE AND AD-FREE DiaPocket is—and will remain—completely free: No in-app purchases No ads No subscriptions All features fully available without limits BY THE COMMUNITY, FOR THE COMMUNITY DiaPocket was created by people with type 1 diabetes for people with type 1 diabetes. We know the daily challenges firsthand: • Fear of nighttime hypos • Frustration over unexplained glucose swings • Overwhelm when dosing insulin after high-fat meals That’s why we built an app that truly helps—without unnecessary complexity, hidden costs, or ads. DATA PRIVACY & SECURITY Your data belongs to you—everything is stored locally on your device only. IMPORTANT NOTICE DiaPocket is NOT a medical device and does not replace medical advice. The app is a digital notebook for documenting your diabetes data. All therapeutic decisions regarding insulin dosing, nutrition, or treatment adjustments are made solely by you—ideally in consultation with your healthcare professional.
