Great app for monitoring BG control
As a young adult who has had type 1 diabetes for over 25 years, I love this application.
Paper logbooks are great for having immediate information in your hands, but can be difficult to update on-the-go, and cant analyze trends without the user sitting down and reviewing their numbers. Computer programs that allow you to upload your meter results are great for analytical assessments, but dont really allow for access anytime, anywhere, and require separate plug-ins for monitoring of pump usage.
MySugr does require (most) meter users to log their results, but it strikes a balance between being readily available like a paper logbook, and being able to show trends like computer programs.
The application is to use, allowing you to monitor blood glucose readings, insulin doses for food versus corrections, maintain a food diary (including food groups), and record activity levels and durations. Each post can be tagged by time of the day, as a pre- or post-meal or activity, and tags can be set for factors that may affect your readings, such as whether you are sick, or menstruating. You can also tag when you feel hypoglycaemic or hyperglycaemic.
Best of all, your tracking is easily translated into a logbook document that can be printed or e-mailed to your endocrinologist or diabetes nurse for appointments or in-between follow-ups. With at least 7 days of logging (3x per day), the app will also estimate your HBA1C level; mine was dead on.
Ive had a lot of success with this app so far, and feel that its worth its weight (and more) in gold.
