RE: Applications to help with diabetes control
Hi, I use the IBGStar meter. Its appeal for me is that it clips directly to the bottom of my phone, so I don't need to carry two different devices. However, they don't yet have a version that attaches directly to the new lightening port. This is what has kept me from upgrading to the iPhone 5 The IBGStar app is usable enough to see your current reading, past readings and averages over different time periods, but is far from fully accessible. It is usable enough once your figure out how to get around the inaccessible parts. There are better apps if you are going to manually record your readings, so I would give this one a miss unless you're going to use the meter with your iPhone, which I do because of its convenience. When I finally do upgrade my iPhone, if they don't yet have one that connects to the lightening port, I will be re-investigating different options. Glucose buddy has been already mentioned, and I just thought I would add to those comments, if your manually recording your readings and use Glucose buddy it can sync with www.glucose budy.com which means you can either log from your phone or from a computer if your near one. You can also see long-term glucose averages etc from the web site. Hope this helps, Brett. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Donna Sent: Thursday, June 19, 2014 10:13 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Applications to help with diabetes control Hi I too, am a pre-diabetic.

RE: Applications to help with diabetes control
Hi Brett and others, I am not a diabetic, but based on what Apple announced at WWDC with regards to Health Kit, the health app and the cooperation with manufacturers of medical equipment I would think that in the next year or so there will be a number of devices and apps which should all tie into the Health app. Hopefully these will be accessible, but with Apple's focus on accessibility and bringing all of this together I think there is a good chance a lot of it will be accessible. I would also think that given the wide spread occurance of diabetes in North America this should be a focus.

From my search through the app store, most diabetic apps are logbooks which require the app user to enter their blood glucose numbers manually into the app. The OneTouch Reveal connects wirelessly to your meter and uploads your blood glucose levels into the app for you. The app is mostly accessible with voiceover. There are buttons that aren't labeled, but playing with the app, the unlabeled buttons are easy to figure out.

Re: Applications to help with diabetes control
Hi, Thanks for these, I will definitely check them out. :) Am I thinking right that these all pretty much do the same thing and that it's just personal preference as to which one I choose?
