Hi all.

GB is absolutely wonderful for me - both the web site species and the iPhone app. I use it all the time, although I'm in the middle of writing a PC based program that takes my logs from the web site and prints them with the dates in dd/mm/yyyy format for my doctors' benefit. I'm thinking that some event-based graphs might also help, but first things first.

I recently got my latest a1c from the last blood test (sampled in late June). It dropped a whopping 4 percentage points from 11% to 7% in just 3 months! My sugars were just awful about 3 months ago and the doc put me on Lantus insulin as well as my meds (Metformin and Diamicron). He told me that after about 10 years on meds alone, they often cease to do the job properly by themselves and quite a number of type 2s need to go on insulin as well. I was diagnosed 11 years ago.

It worked. I'm getting the vast majority of BG readings below 8 mmol/L (that's 144 mg/dL for all my US friends), hence the huge drop in my a1c reading.

GB is pretty accurate with its GBa1c estimator too. It said 6.9% when the lab said 7%, well within the statistical margin of error.

I just did the estimator again and got a very pleasing 6.2%!

Just look at how happy this face is. https://www.glucosebuddy.com/forum/i...es/biggrin.gif
