Seems to have a problem with half units of insulin. Having had 5 units for breakfast, when I put in 2.5 for lunch it displays 2.5 but totals to 30 units. When I input 3 it totals to 8.
Hi @tedlin01. How long do you need to use the app to get the stats function? Ive been using it for 10 days now and still no stats. Cheers.
Hello,
My name is Ted Lindstrom and I have had Type 1 Diabetes for 15 years. My hba1c was at about 77 some months ago and neither me or my doctor was very happy about this result. I decided to really focus on my diabetes and since I am a App Developer I thought that I would like to develop an app for myself to help me keep in the "mindset" of diabetes. In the end I had an app in which I can log glucose, insulin, exercise and food and then visualise it with graphs to see relationships between the parameters. From that I can then easily evaluate how walking and insulin affects my blood sugar. I also noticed that counting carbs is really efficient so I developed a feature for the app that calculates the insulin sensitivity over the days. For instance I noticed that my insulin sensitivity is much lower during nights and mornings. I guess it makes sense since I am less active during nights. However I feel that this app really helps me to control my diabetes and last time I checked my hba1c I had 52(!!!) and my Doctor was really proud of me, so was I
Now, I'm thinking about releasing this iPhone app to the public on App Store. However I don't really feel that it is good enough today so I need to consider if I want to put in the amount of work hours into making it good enough for anyone to use. That is why I am writing and I am wondering if anyone would actually be interested in testing this app out.
Do you guys use any apps to help you with your Diabetes today and if so, is there anything your missing? Any ideas on how to make this app really awsome if I decide to go along with developing it for public use?

Hi Ted!
Just read your thread and I'm liking the sound of it! I do a lot of excersize at the moment, including a lot of walking, to try and reduce my hba1c (I wasn't happy with mine last time either).
I'd love to try this app out since I only use nike run at the moment. Would be cool to try it out!
