CAn anyone tell me where i can get UK Based data managment software for a PDA. I use a Accucheck meter and Roche have redeigned their record book which is now so small it is virtually useless and they only have PDA software in the USA. The usual suppliers (Handango) only show USA based PDA software. Can anyone help? Please

Hi Sue

thanks for the quick reply

Yes I have tried that. the one that is there is soooooo basic it make yourt toes curl. One i found for my Ipod is better but once entries are made they cannot be edited or deleted if you make a mistake. The USA is far more advanced than the UK in this Field. I tried the One touch Ultra Smart but the readings were so far out compared to the Accucheck i reverted back. Roche are not very helpful either. Hey Ho.I'll keep trying.

Unnecessary rudeness, and any PC
Graham, I use a Palm T|X and an Excel spreadsheet I wrote myself to keep track of basal, bg, corrections, carbs, bolus over a 24 hour, 7 day period.

Couple of really useful features: automatically calculates correction and meal boluses, based on variables that are set for the whole sheet, but can be configured to suit you. Doesn't take account of IOB so you have to be a bit careful not to stack. But it does provide some useful statistics such as average TDD, insulin/carb and correction ratios, based on the 7 days.

It's limited by what Excel features are available in the Palm implementation (I use Documents To Go by DataViz), but I'm sure it could do more than I have set it up for. Once a week I sync with my Mac and email my DSN and consultant the details. They love it, at least that's what they tell me!

I can let you have a copy to try out if you want...

HI,

Yes accuchek do software called compass, it is for use for all accucheck test meters the compass software as far as I know is free , you can also purchase an infra red cable which will automatically transfer your BS readings into the software. You can also enter them in manually and print off a log book when you go to the doctors or nurse. It is very good software I use it myself.
