Re: Blood Sugar Tracking App
Hi, I wonder how Drafts might work for something like this. You can configure it to add a line of text to an existing file. Of course I'm not sure how it can be manipulated to add numbers or track statistics or anything, but worth a look in case Drafts might help with this. -- Raul A.

However when I changed from Windows mobile where I could enter my readings in the spreadsheet on the fly, to the iPhone, I had no way to do this. So I gave up on the spreadsheet. If you can be bothered logging results in notes, then adding them to a spreadsheet, then stick to that. If your lazy like me and only want to enter them once, try Glucose Buddy. If you sync to the glucose buddy site, you can see your results in a table, so its still quite easy to see trends For Example, post breakfast readings being too high. If you log your records long enough, you can also see the average A1C on the site. This has inspired me to take another look at numbers, since I hear its accessibility has improved. Cheers, Brett.

I say that because I have tried probably two dozen blood sugar tracking apps and found them all to be lacking in some way or other. Mostly, it seems following results for comparison and trends. Really, the best solution I have found so far is to create a sheet in Excel on my PC. I know virtually nothing about Excel, so you might imagine how simple it is. But, I am able to follow columns to spot trends. I am fortunate to have a copy of MicroSoft Office, but there must be other spreadsheet programs for the PC or Mac. I have not yet tried using my sheet with Numbers on my phone/pad, so what I am doing in the meantime is simply noting results in Notes until I am able to enter them into the worksheet. It really seems most apps for this purpose want to be to pretty or too techie. I really wish there was something as simple as the paper logs that come with strips and meters or as straightforward as the spreadsheet I created. I am still open to others' findings.

Re: Blood Sugar Tracking App
Brett, glucose buddy is the one app I have stuck with the longest. The problem I find with it is printing out results. Each time I have tried or had someone else try, they tell me the columns come out all messed up. I can't figure out why. Do you have any ideas on that? The most recent issue I found was when I started using insulin with meals. I use a sliding amount, and I cannot figure out how to enter both numbers of carbs and insulin amount. It seems to want to treat them as two separate log entries. Maybe with some tips from other users, I can go back to using this app. It would be nice to have everything in one place. All thanks!

Re: Blood Sugar Tracking App
Hi Eric, I'm not using anything at the moment: I've been a bit slack lately. I will reinstall it and get back to you later today.

It is now very doable, a little fiddly but werth it for the extra info I can get. Cheers, Brett.

RE: Blood Sugar Tracking App
The tedious thing about most if not all of these blood glucose tracking apps is that they require manual entry of your test scores into the app's database.

Hi, Where can I find the accessible companion software? I downloaded software from the Prodigy website, but it doesn't seem to be accessible and that doesn't make any sense.

RE: Blood Sugar Tracking App
The Prodigy software became available some time after their blood glucose meters did. I believe they had some approval delays. Anyway you can read more about it and download it from here: http://prodigymeter.com/?page_id=175 Alan Lemly -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Paul Hunt Sent: Monday, March 24, 2014 5:57 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Blood Sugar Tracking App Really?

RE: Blood Sugar Tracking App
I would consider myself a fairly high level Apple user, not expert, but far better than a lot. I say that because I have tried probably two dozen blood sugar tracking apps and found them all to be lacking in some way or other. Mostly, it seems following results for comparison and trends. Really, the best solution I have found so far is to create a sheet in Excel on my PC. I know virtually nothing about Excel, so you might imagine how simple it is. But, I am able to follow columns to spot trends. I am fortunate to have a copy of MicroSoft Office, but there must be other spreadsheet programs for the PC or Mac. I have not yet tried using my sheet with Numbers on my phone/pad, so what I am doing in the meantime is simply noting results in Notes until I am able to enter them into the worksheet. It really seems most apps for this purpose want to be to pretty or too techie. I really wish there was something as simple as the paper logs that come with strips and meters or as straightforward as the spreadsheet I created. I am still open to others' findings.

Re: Blood Sugar Tracking App
Hi, I agree that a spreadsheet is the best way to go for us blindies. However when I changed from Windows mobile where I could enter my readings in the spreadsheet on the fly, to the iPhone, I had no way to do this. So I gave up on the spreadsheet. If you can be bothered logging results in notes, then adding them to a spreadsheet, then stick to that. If your lazy like me and only want to enter them once, try Glucose Buddy. If you sync to the glucose buddy site, you can see your results in a table, so its still quite easy to see trends For Example, post breakfast readings being too high. If you log your records long enough, you can also see the average A1C on the site. This has inspired me to take another look at numbers, since I hear its accessibility has improved. Cheers, Brett.
