Hi, can anyone recommend a good app to track BG readings, carb intake, insulin amounts, exercise etc I always keep a written diary of this & have done since diagnosed in 2005. I find it really helps & my DSN loves me for it but now I feel I need to move with the times, so if anybody could recommend one (that's free) that would be great! Thanking you in advance!

I used On Track for a while. It was pretty easy to use and I liked the graphs displaying the last day/week/months results which could also be exported to a PC. I think you can store exercise although I didn;t use that feature.

For me the big downslide was that I tend to keep my phone in my bag so it's not always handy when I do a BG. Since I'd then forget to add the data to the app the results were not much use and I gave up, my new meter stored carbs too so now I just use that.

What meter is that?
 
Personally I use sidiay from sinovo. Android, apple and pc versions all work very well and support is excellent.

I'm using the freestyle Insulinx, it stores the BG & carbs and can also do the maths for you. Helpful for me since I have different ratios for different times of day. It's OK to use, only takes a tiny drop of blood and is quite quick but it does feel a bit flimsy. The case especially is a bit naff, the meter is held in with a strip of elastic and mine seems to have lost it's spring.

There are a couple of other similar meters, Accu check expert and a lifescan one I think so probably worth looking round before choosing.
 
I've started using the my sugr app, which I've found a bit easier and less long winded than the other apps.

Plus there are weekly challenges if, like me, you're not brilliant at writing everything down!
