Can anyone recommend a good software application for recording information about diabetes such as blood sugar levels and when medication is taken and food eaten?

Thanks
 
I actually for windows like sidiary as it supports most meters but also many more devices too

That looks like it might work. I'll give the free version a try. Thanks

PS: I just discovered that it claims to support about a million meters, but not mine: OneTouch Verio Flex. I had no idea there were that many meter!

Most of the meters available now are bluetooth capable, so you can get the data on your phone / tablet. Then you can export the data as a csv file to your windows computer, where you can open it in a office program such as Libre Office etc.

There would not be much need of fiddling about in a basic spreadsheet once set up.

I don't know if mine is bluetooth or not. It does have a small port on the side, smaller than USB. My "smartphone" is so old that I doubt it would work anyway. :( I don't mind entering the data manually.

Thanks

Your meter is Bluetooth but sidiary uses the cable(I think)

So do it, but I keep tinkering with it, which takes up a lot of time.

I use Open Office (Excel) which works for me. I log my food intake, my meds, and I do parallel testing (two meters, one drop of blood) and the spreadsheet tracks the differences between the two meters (useful for detecting duff or fake test strips or misreads) and I get averages worked out for me. I also have a section that records significant events like meds change, vaccination etc, and it gives me a weekly average before the event, and then after the event so I can adjust my medication to suit.

I used to draw graphs in color for my GP which helped in the early days, but that was fiddly, so I don't bother now. A quick column scan will show me if I am trending in any direction.

Agree however we all have busy lives and it’s worth having tools that are easy to use, a good resource to better manage BGL and not take a lot of time.
 
I find mySugr quite handy. Lots of flexibility and easy to read reports. Worth a try. I had the free version for a while, then bought the year subscription because u get more out of it. But free version is fine.
