Delete Log Entry; For iPad, iPhone or iTouch; GB App

To delete an unwanted log entry on the iPhone: Choose the log that you wish to delete and this will take you to the "Edit Log" Menu, in the center at the top of the screen you will see the delete button. Hitting the delete button once should delete the unwanted log.

Adding Foods:

The food entries are a bit different from the blood glucose entries. Under Add Logs; Food; Add Food; Add Log; Create a food called Carbs. (grams), then pick that food each time you input your food. This method is very simple and lets you keep up with your food by logging carbs. However, to effectively use this method, you will need to learn to carb count. Please reference Carb Counting 101.

Try something simple first: Under Food; Add Food; Press + in the top right hand corner; Type in a name {I use Carbs. (grams)} and save the food. Then under Pick Food(s) you should be able to pick the food (when done successfully you will see a check mark on the right hand side), then press Add Log at the top left, this takes you back to Add Log menu where you should be able to input the grams.

Delete Foods:

Choose Food; Add Food; Under Pick Food you will see a list of your Foods; In the bottom left corner choose Edit, then choose the minus (-) next to the food that you want to delete; Choose Done when you are finished.

Adding Meds:

Add 1 or more medicine(s) to your medicine(s) list;
Add 1 or more of the medicine(s) from your medicine(s) list to the log entry by tapping name(s) in the list;
Tap "Add Log" in the top left hand corner to continue adding your medicine log entry;
Tap the medicine field(s) in the Add Log screen to enable the keypad so that you can enter value(s) for (it|them);
Tap "Save" in the top right hand corner when you're ready to save it;
Remember that your will need visit the GB Website; My Account Settings; Medicine Unit (mg -or- pills -or- units).

NOTE: If you use "Insulin" as a "Medicine" you will not be able to sync. The App does not like this at all. You will need to change "Insulin" to the name of the insulin to sync. Examples of insulin names to use are "Levemir", "NovoLog", "Regular" etc., after you change this you should be able to sync successfully.

Adding Activity:

This will add one (1) activity to your activity list.

At the Add Log Menu; Choose Activity; Now choose the "Add Activity >" Button; In the top right hand corner choose the "+" button; Under Name Window Input "Walking"; Under Unit Selection Input "(mins)"; Now in the top right hand corner click the save button. You are now ready to input the activity.

Now at the Add Log Menu; Choose Activity; Now choose the "Add Activity >"; Now choose the activity that you just created "Walking (mins)"; There should now be a check mark on the right side; In the top left corner choose the "Add Log" button; This will take you back to the Add Log Menu and you will now see a window for Walking (mins); click on that and input your "60" (minutes), for the 1 hour, that you walked and use the meal wheel to indicate that this was after breakfast, if that is when you did the walk. Be sure to tap "Save" in the top right hand corner when you're ready to save it.

Doctor's Report:

If you need a Doctor's Report, you can go to the website under My Diabetes; My Logs; View Logs and choose: [All Today Last 7 Days Last 30 Days Last 90 Days] for the time frame and [A1c Glucose Medicine Food Activity Pressure Weight] for the information that you want to show, on screen as, "ON" and print this information, via the website, -or- "Export Filtered Logs" to a CSV file. The file you can then print or manipulate the data in excel or word. I generally create a "Doctor's Report" using this information and screen shots of the graphs.

"Report Generator"

Username 2twisty has created a really nice "Report Generator", which utilizes the CSV file created by GlucoseBuddy and transforms the information into a very functional report format. I am sure that many GB users will find that this "Report Generator" will make creating the "Doctor's Report" a snap. Several forum members have previously asked for this and 2twisty has made it happen. Here is the link to the "Report Generator". Thanks 2twisty for your time and trouble with the creation of this software. I'm sure that many people will benefit from your efforts.

Note that this "Report Generator" may be of great interest to those using the Android App, since they can email their CSV file to themselves and analyse their information with the "Report Generator".

Reminders:

From the Main Screen; Take your finger and move the screen from the left to the right; Here you will see a light bulb icon that says Reminders; Choose the Reminders icon; This will bring up the Push Reminders Menu; Here you will see the currently set reminders; If you want to set a new reminder, press the [+] plus button in the upper right hand corner and enter the reminder information. If you want to turn the reminder OFF then click the ON button and it will show OFF; If you want to delete the reminder then Choose Edit in the lower left hand corner; Now you will see a (-) minus button next to each reminder; Click on the (-) minus button and delete each reminder that you don't want.

Apparently they have removed the "Push Reminders" from the App, in Version 3.7.0.

"My Info" > "Weight" Limit

Entering your weight in "My Info" > "Weight" is limited to 341.9 lb (155.9 kg). This is part of your profile and is unrelated to the BP & WT add-on.

If you have the BP & WT add-on and wish to enter a WT log, go to "Logs" > "+" > "WT" or "Add Log" > "WT". Then, enter your WT log. Notice that WT logs have a maximum limit of 999.9 lb (454.5 kg).

Current Problems, with the GB website, when using Internet Explorer (IE) Version 9

If you are using IE9, as your browser, you will not be able to change the calendar date unless you revise the "compatibility mode". You may also use another browser; Google Chrome, Mozilla FireFox and Safari all work.

Current Problems, with the GB website in general:

On the "My Account Settings" tab, there is a section called "Share a bit about yourself (optional)". In that area is a field called "Year of Diagnosis:" If you are trying to use 2012, as the diagnosed date on the my profile page, the following error returns. "The date field is formatted to reject any date above 2011."
