Great program. Thank you. I mainly want to log my son's data and sync and analyze it so this program works. Some developer suggestions:
1. Have "give feedback" be one of the menu items to get the developer suggestions as they come to you.
2. Be able to chart every single measurement on a scatter plot (instead of requiring user to do so via excel). Unless I am missing something the charting uses only 3 values (high low mid) per day.
4. Have the activity dial "suggest" time context-appropriate activity. E.g. "During nighttime" between 10pm and 6am. Have the wheel sort by most frequently used to reduce scrolling.
5. Auto-Sync. Program should assume a sync after every log entry of or change to a specific Bg level, and daily minimum (if other logs are used). Should have put this one first!
6. Use a "sliding motion" for deleting the "note" section not the typical "delete" button in the text entry box, because if you go to edit the end of your text string by using the system zoom bubble you will inadvertently delete your entire line with no "do you want to delete the entire line?" check. In fact please look as the zoom bubble behavior through the entire app, it's not working well.

Thanks and great work!

Really don't like the graphs on the www.glucosebuddy.com. Why can't they look like on App. Also can't get graph from website for weight vs. glucose (drop down to select weight) doesn't allow to change graph from systolic vs. glucose.
Program sucks.

Is there a better program? Could you do better yourself?

I think it would be really cool to have a picture of my meals and snacks so that I can really correlate sugar and the food intake. It takes much to long to enter items individually. Now, the picture would only have to reside on the phone with an id marker that the app links the pictures. These pictures could then be positioned on a temporal graph along with glucose measurements on the phone app, which then could be snap-shot for review with doctors and nutritionists.

Fwiw. I use the Fat Secret app on conjunction w GB. No they don't sync w each other but IMO it's easy.

When I try a new meal that is packaged in some way - frozen, canned, boxed etc the app scans the bar code and records full nutrition values per serving and I use the spinner to indicate how many full or partial servings I had.

For meals I make from individual ingredients, say a sandwich I just compile individual scans into a "new recipe" ie scan specified loaf of bread x 1 slice; 1 svg mayo scanned; 1/2 cup shredded 'x' cheese; 1 boiled egg; 1svg tuna - save and now I have full nutritional info for saved 1/2 tuna sandwich.

Most menu items of most popular restaurants are pre loaded so you just click on your meal. For those that aren't you use a search feature and select.

The app remembers saved recipes and frequently eaten items by meal so if I have "x" for lunch every couple of weeks or so, no need to scan etc - just pick it from the frequently eaten list.

It will give you meal totals for each value - calories, carbs, sodium, protein, fat etc and then totals for each for the day. I'm tracking carbs so on GB I only have 1 food named 'carbs'. Each evening I just manually type the 3 meal + snack carb values accumulated on the FS app to the GB app. If a dr or dietician wants to know specifically what I had for lunch 3 weeks ago Tuesday it is the simplest thing to pull up on FS. The amount of data will blow them away and they'll never question you or your intent again. All pretty much with a bar code scan and 3-4 manual carb total entries to GB per day.

Couple that with the GB report generator posted as anther thread on the forum and your doc will want to hire you to teach others
