Hey! I just downloaded the Diabetes Diary to help keep track of my daughter’s readings and doses and the like. Very well developed program. I’ve toyed with a couple apps before, both on my iPod Touch and on my Andriod phone, but I haven’t found anything quite as easy to use as your program, thank you very much.

A couple of minor notes, though. Because my daughter is only 3 years old, our target range for her isn’t the normal 4-10 mmol/L. For her we’re shotting for 6-12. As such it would be nice if there were an option to customize the target range (for the highlighting option, for instance).

Also, on one of the programs I was trying on my phone, on the graphs that it produced it showed a highlighted bar across the graph showing your target range. That made it very easy to see on the graph itself which readings fell within target and which didn’t. It would be very helpful if you could implement something like that in Diabetes Diary.

Excellent App. Thanks again, I’m amazed how easy it is to use.

I think I’ve tried all the diabetes apps and yours are the best congratulation

With that said, I have a couple of suggestions and a wish

The suggestions is that the glucose indicator starts at 80 ( the normal level ) so it will be quicker to get to the number you want.
Also I think that the 3 meters should occupy all the screen making it easier to scroll them, pushing the Details part off the screen ( if you need to change it, just scroll down a little.

And something I wish to see in the future is a mac app companion where you can sync your data with it on your computer, and store and manage it there.

Thank you again

Hi Chris,
I have recently purchased Diabetes Diary. It’s great. One extra option that would be really good would be to have a correction dose for the insulin taken that could be highlighted on the graph. In essence a fourth scroll bar. This relates to DAFNE (Dose Adjustment For Normal Eating). When working off ratios between carbohydrates & insulin if a correction is necessary it is nice to see it flagged on a chart so that trends over time can be recognised easily.

Hi Chris

I’ve recently bought the Diabetes Diary and it definitely seems to be a really well thought out app. However, I would also like to see a ‘correction dose’ as an option.

The ideal would be to have the option to enter a ‘food dose’ and a ‘correction dose’ and then total number of units taken. This option for recording the insulin doses would then fit in perfectly with the DAFNE and BERTIE courses that teach carbohydrate counting and dose adjustment. Seeing the frequency and pattern of correction doses is a vital part of recognising whether the insulin to carbohydrate ratio is correct.

It would also be quite useful to be able to record what ratio you had used when taking the food dose, as for some people their ratio changes depending on the time of day.

I do love this app and think it has great potential, but sadly for now i will go back to doing a written record and keep my fingers crossed that a correction dose option will be added!

I have been looking at your app and since I am a Canadian does the application have a setting to include Canadian readings?

Hi Chris

We were about to buy this app but saw that it doesn’t support half units for insulin doses. As our son is only 2 this is key for him, and unfortunately makes this app unusable.

I appreciate this is something that only some of your users would want, but it would be extremely useful to have the option. Could you perhaps add a toggle setting to display half units or whole units on the scroll wheels?

Thanks for listening

Pete

Thanks for your great job !
Just missing a french version (because I’m french) and it will perfect !
