Subject: Please switch from calorie tracker to calorie counter ipad/iphone app
Glucose Buddy has impressed my endocrinologist's staff.
I tried using calorie tracker but it is very immature and I encounterd numerous shortcomings in just a few hours.
Instead I use calorie counter which is much more robust and has a better database. See
http://www.fatsecret.com/
It would be a boon to have it integrate with buddy to graph carbs;
however, I have cobbed a methodology:
I maintain my diet in calorie counter by entering foods and portion sizes
At some point I export a meals summary (email to myself) which gives me details: calories, fat, etc., and especially carbs per meal.
I transcribe the carbs by making entries in the foods diary log in the glucose buddy app (or online).
I only have two foods in Buddy, "carbs" and "nothing", the latter for when I skip a meal.
I enter date, time, and grams of carbs per meal.
After syncing, I can log in to the buddy website and print the logs which then show the time I took meds, carbs for meals, and BGL readings.
I especially like the graph which shows BGL versus Food.
Unfortunately it wouldn't be as interesting if my grams of carbs weren't just as high as my BGLs.
