Glucose Buddy
 

Is Glucose Buddy available for Windows 7 on a workstation (I mean as a standalone app synchronized to a website, not via the browser)? If not, will it be? Thank you.

No, I doubt it will be.

How do you handle printing? Thanks.

I dump the CSV file to word or excel. I screen capture the graphs from the website and insert all this information into my doctor's report. The is a tag for "Doctors Report" under the search; tag search pull down.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but that seems like a kludge. I am trying out Glucose Buddy, as I use a German program "SiDiary" and it does something similar; there is an option to print, but it uses MS Word to do the hard work. I think that is a kludge as well, and some of the translations leave a bit to be desired. (For example, one accesses the food database through "Nutritions", rather than "Nutrition" or simply "Food".) One can program reports through "templates" and the database is configurable so you can add more fields. The German program runs on Android, IPhone, IPad, Windows (XP & 7 at least), and maybe Mac. It can read multiple meters, but I switched from a Bayer Contour to an Accu-Check Aviva (based on the Bernstein recommendation) and I haven't bought the little IR thing yet. It syncs with a site on the internet, just like GB. A fellow over on one of the DiabetesDaily forums pointed me at GB, but he said he was using Windows. Perhaps he is using a browser. SiDiary allows multiple patients, shares logs with docs or friends, same as GB.

I thought GB has a way to do reminders, particularly the 2 hours after a meal. Maybe it does and I just haven't found it yet. Currently, I'm using a stopwatch app on my RAZR, as I always seem to have the phone with me. My meter has some kind of an alarm, but I can barely hear it.

Thanks for the info.

The GB App does have reminders. The icon is listed on the second page of the main menu. The reminders worked great, until IOS 5.0. Currently we are waiting for an upgraded app, so that these will work once more.

Second page? Wow, I am really stupid! I can't find the second page!

LOL

Go to the main menu page and that you finger and slide the viewing area to the left. ;)

Note; If you are using the Android version, it may not work the same way.

What I use is a version for IPad and a version for Android. They are not the same. One has reminders but no synching and the other has synching but no reminders! I'm guessing that if we wait a while, everything will be the same.

Hopefully the sync for Android will be available soon. :)
