Hi all,
Do any of you lovely people know of a free or for a small cost only app that I can use to monitor my BM, I just need something that I can enter my readings into on a test by test basis.
Thanks in advance.

if you just need to enter readings and nothing else (databases with carbohydrate content in foods , calculation of hba1 , etc.), you can use a Google spreadsheet. It's free, convenient, and you can enter formulas or plot graphs.

Dunno if you have a Samsung, but their Health app can tack blood sugars if you enter them.

I guess something like mySugr has a free tier. There are quite a few apps available: https://www.google.com/search?q=blood+glucose+logging+app

What platform (Android, iPhone)?

Google Health also allows BG logging, though I don't know quite how/where one can enter it (I only know from looking at the API docs for something unrelated.)

Presumably you want logging/reporting and perhaps HbA1c prediction (though that may well be very inaccurate with only single point measurements.)

I can't recommend anything in particular as I use (the free and opensource) XDrip+, which won't (unfortunately) work solely with fingerprick test data, though that would be quite useful on the days my CGM dies (and if I had the time I could provide a patch set).

Mysugr.

Get a few sample tests in and it guestimates your HBA1c.

Mine was only out by 1 point .
