[QUOTE="ratherbegliding, post: 2144857, member: 98612"] Hi [USER=467598]@Indy1282[/USER] I am a convert to MySugr. I don't understand your comments above though?: 1) writing down food - correct, not much space. But I just record the carbs primarily, I don't tend to include more than a couple of words about what I'm actually eating. 2) writing down insulin? There is a specific data field for insulin. Have you played around with the settings? You can set up separate types of insulin eg basal/bolus etc. Usually I'm just entering a number for the number units I've taken. No words required. 3) time take for spike? If you're doing a blood test just log the result - the app notes the time automatically. If you're like me and forget to make an entry on time you can always go back in and adjust the time when you make the entry later. All in all, it takes me less than 20 seconds to record a blood sugar reading, a carb count, an insulin shot and tag the meal as breakfast/lunch/dinner etc. I haven't much experience with other apps I'm afraid, but in general I would say they are by far the easiest and most convenient way to keep these records. Maybe try a different one? Best of luck. :) [/QUOTE]
