Hi there, not sure who can answer my questions but here goes.

Am I right in saying that the Low Carb Program Link takes you to a separate part of Diabetes.co.uk ?

In the Dashboard of the Low Carb Program I can log my food and my BG readings (which I am currently doing via My Fitness Pal App) I don't want to enter my food details twice (on 2 different platforms) is there a way to sync the 2 ?

If I use the Low Carb Program to monitor food and readings - what are the advantages ? does it show me a graph of results ? or does it compare food to readings results ?

Navigating to the Low Carb Program via the laptop is ok and works fine but on the iPad or phone - the functionality doesn't feel the same - Is there a separate App ? (I haven't found one so far)

Thanks for any help or advice

No, myFitnessPal and the LCP aren't connected. Would you be interested in this functionality?

There are no advantages over myFitnessPal for this. The food diary is in to allow people to monitor their intake. There is no graph for food currently - we'll be adding carb graphs shortly (in the next phase of edits).

It should work nicely on an iPad/iPhone/Android phone - the app is undergoing approval at the App Store (we've had to jump through a few hoops). We're hoping it'll be released this week.

Yes, I would like this functionality - or at least 1 app that gives me the functionality of MFP - ie graphs and charts - along with the ability to track BG along side the Food Diary - while also monitoring exercise and tracking measurements.

thank you for your reply :)
 
In the resources section of the LCP there is an Andriod App that seems to have the all inclusive functionality - will this be available for iOS ?
 
I cant seem to be able to add food. I sort of managed it yesterday and saved it but today there is no sign of it. I am also unable to enter any food not already in the system. Today I had a two egg omelette with four slices of German salami and some cream cheese. Not allowing me to enter that, either separately or combined.

I can't find the app in the App Store, is there a link?

What are you trying to add food to - MyFitnessPal or the Low Carb Programme?

LCP - I have abandoned it and subscribed to MFP. A shame this one doesn't work. Found the upgrade to MFP in the end when I updated it. No idea why it hadn't done it automatically.

Thank you. I have downloaded the app but this is for iPhone and isn't great to use on an iPad. It still seems to have a ready made list of foods that don't allow you to alter the quantities so not as easy as it would be. I'm finding it really frustrating that it isn't as good as MFP when it should be and there still isn't a decent user tutorial.

Ditzy, I think I saw another Mod had posted a help document, relating to adding foods to the LC Programme, on one of your other threads. Did you receive any notifications, highlighting a response to you?
