iHealth Gluco-Smart

I had this nearly a week, and it was working great. Yesterday, when I just started to think this was great, they embedded an annoying advertisement to buy their products placed in the middle of my progress summary dashboard. Today, there are now two ads that flicker back and forth. I already have their product and am using it or I wouldn’t even be on the app. I will likely switch back to my old manual app, which was pretty awesome because I could note how long after eating I took the test. Since I am only trying to prevent diabetes, I check 1 hr, 1.5 hr, 2 hrs and learning what cause spikes and crashes. Also, having the notes visible in the log would be helpful so I can quickly see my meal history below the numbers.

I started with my Relion Premier BLU meter yesterday and downloaded this App. This endeavor is not because of doctor’s orders. I am just curious about my body and it is not a secret that I believe I am pre- diabetic or into the first stages of diabetes. I will contact a doctor of course with my results, and develop a menu. I do enjoy studying myself and I enjoy going on-line and reading about health and proper diet for things like diabetes. It gives me a better understanding of my body, doing self study. I understand the importance of a doctor’s knowledge and direction but I also believe in establishing a proper diet is critical… So I know I can adjust my glucose levels with proper diet and exercise. THE APP! Ok… About the App… It is wonderful! I love all the features and help and collecting of data. But I can’t get it to PAIR with my i Phone 13. To which my phone loves to pair with stuff! Just not my meter. I followed every direction to the letter. I will get some help.

Just got the device as i wanted to star measuring my glucose more frequently… doing some diet changes and wanted to know. Fairly straightforward use although it takes a bit to understand the “ins and out” of the strips, lancet, device, Bluetooth connectivity, etc… took me maybe 30 minutes to get familiar and be comfortable… did the first reading, very quickly the measure came back and loaded to the App on my phone. Now i can start having a log of this over time
