HI,
I haven't religiously recorded my results for some time; I just refer to my meter.
Having used an app (DiaConnect) for the last 3 weeks however has been very helpful I think; and I hope to continue to do that.
Information is no good if it's just sitting there and not being used.
I've now got the following apps on my phone;
DiaConnect and mySugr
I'm leaning towards DiaConnect; it is clearly laid out and you can add things like blood pressure and weight. It also provides a simple pie chart of how your bloods are doing with estimates of HbA1c based on your average results.
mySugr is kind of annoying and aimed, I'm assuming, at children; it does have a useful 'deviation from mean' feature but that's about it.
I used to have ManageBL but deleted it and can't remember why; they do hassle me a lot with e-mails so perhaps the app was also annoying; I might check it again.
Does anyone have an app that they swear by? If so why?
What would be good was if the meters were brought up to date so that they would do all this stuff themselves and provide the necessary analysis but I guess they are just in a margin business can can't be bothered to invest in the meter when it's the strips that make the money.
Thanks
