Check the website of your meter's manufacturer. A few have downloadable programs. Once installed you can sometimes connect your meter to your PC with a USB cable and download your readings to make graphs etc.
 
Hi misty65

Sorry to hear your news. . I am in a similar position thou yourself. I have had colitis for some time and in Jan this year it was confirmed that I have Type 1 Diabetes.

Colitis is a very unpleasant illness. Thankfully there quite a few treatments for it. I sympathise with you and hope you started on some treatment soon.

Both of these illnesses are autoimmune so having both is not unusual. I also have other autoimmune conditions as well so in someways was not surprised when I developed Type 1 Diabetes

If I can be of any help please let me know
 
 
When i moved to Scotland,i was taken off all pain meds.So i over eat.Everything i eat makes me ill.Im T2 ,am looking for some support as i live alone,also food ideas.Is there any meds than can help.I have Dr appt in july.many thanks

If you are Type 2 then you should really update your profile as it says you're Type1, and if people think you're type 1 you may get answers that are not relevant to you, you should be able to change it in your profile, its helpful if you update your profile to show what diabetics meds you are on as well.
 
To try and give some info > > >
I have used OneTouch meters for years and the option to download their program to download from meters seems as if it may help.
They usually offer a free meter and if you ask also provide a USB connecting cable.
Now the technical bit
- The supplied software has various tables and reports + options to add other data
- you can export a file in CSV format BUT the date is not in UK format it is MDY as it appears to have been created for US systems.
I convert the info into Excel and have created a summary which shows the data as an average hourly reading for a day. I find this helpful and The Diabetic consultant thinks it is brilliant.

T1 for 60+ years and still here - just ache a bit sometimes!
 
I use smartlog with my caresens duel it has a phone app but there is also a version that you can use on your computer and input data via a cable.

I believe the codefree meter has compter software and can be connected to the computer via a cable also.

If you are using an up to date version of windows 10 the Accu-Chek 360 software won’t install from the cd. You need to copy the cd to your hd & then edit the setup.ini & rem out the requirement for activex. As windows 10 already has a better version built in. It will now install.
