Feature Requests / Enhancements

I am new to the whole diabetes mess having only been diagnosed 4 weeks ago but I have found your application to be most helpful.

I really enjoy the fact that I can sync between my iPhone and on-line account. Extremely helpful when I need to play "catch-up".

The few things I would really like to see:

1. Allow us the ability to import food items into our on-line account and sync with our smartphones (another selling point for the 2-way-sync?). The hardest thing for me is keeping on top of the food carbs. If I could import a CSV file that has the Name, Carb Value (maybe even serving size?) it would be great.

2. Auto populate Food grams. If I record a new food log and select an entry from the list (a food item which I have already recorded), it would be great if the carb value was also carried over to the new log entry. Still an editable field, but populated.

3. Add the ability to track weight.

So far, that's all I have. I do thank you for developing such a great application.

Could you add a feature to test Ketones. I would really like to start testing Urine as well as blood.

I also second this feature. I was just signing up to this forum to make this post, and low and behold, this thread was at the top. The CalorieTrack App is handy to look up carb grams, but it's a little slow and tedious to have to look it up everytime or refer back to a previous log. It would be nice to have a field in the saved Food items to store a base Carbs Amount Per Serving Size just as a note. I would still want to fill in the amount of grams, but a reference.

I suppose it's sort of the point of the CT Integration but I don't always find what I'm looking for in just that App and going between Apps is a bit slow if your filling out a complete meal from BG to Food to Medicine.

I've been a Type 1 Diabetic for 20-years now and logging has always been a chore that sometimes gets neglected. I think this App will keep me focused and up-to-date on this task, since I always carry my phone. Thanks again for the great App!
