Glucose Companion Pro

I am using this for my newly diagnosed dog with type I DM. This app is perfect for daily home monitoring, as well as for doing a blood glucose curve using a glucometer made for pets. We are not able to pay the extraordinary sums of money needed for an over night hospital stay for serial glucose monitoring needed for the blood glucose curve. Also, frequent office visit is cost prohibitive. Veterinarians all agree that this study is mandatory to help get & keep your pet’s blood sugar under control, as well as twice daily monitoring. On my wish list for this excellent app is to include on the blood sugar graft when a meal is given and when the insulin (in units) is given. This would yield more useful info for even more accurate blood sugar monitoring. Again, thank you very much for this “Top-flight” app! Good luck to all who must depend upon it. Gene D

I have to change from an older glucose (and other data) app because it is no longer maintained and is 32-bit - which means it won't work with IOS 11+. Glucose Companion Pro is just OK. It allows you to record glucose data. The reports are a major disappointment. Charts appear to be averaged over the interval on the y-axis. I'd rather see ALL readings in the specified range in order to see variability and trends - a feature the older glucose app had. Glucose Companion Pro has an import feature, but sadly it doesn't work properly. I exported the data from my old app, reformatted to match the format required by the Glucose Companion Pro, and imported the data. Many of the imported period values (eg, 'before breakfast', 'after dinner', etc) were WRONG after the import. I cleared the profile, created a new one and manually added a few test entries. I then exported the test entries and then imported the exported data. Glucose Companion couldn't even import its own data at all (it didn't like the date/time fields)! I modified the date/time fields and imported the data ... and many of the period values were WRONG. I reported the import problems to the developer, but I received NO RESPONSE after 2 attempts in over 2 weeks. I will probably use the app to record data and use it for nothing else. Instead, I will export data and maintain a repository in Excel, so that I can graph the data in more useful ways than the app allows. Based on my experience, don't expect support if you run into problems.

I love the convenience of this app. The reminders are helpful and I like being able to choose the entry details I’m regarding my glucose readings. However, lately I’ve noticed that the app doesn’t update my weight accurately. I’m on a weight loss regimen and I enter my weight weekly. The app was accurately storing this data daily and then would continue to update it after I entered my new weight at the end of the week. Unfortunately, I have to manually adjust my weight to my current weight each time I enter my new glucose readings. The weight entry used to stay the same during each glucose entry until I entered the new one. It doesn’t do this now, instead it goes back to the weight entered a week prior. I attempted to get this resolved with support but not only did they not understand my problem, after explaining it several times, it’s still not resolved. Very frustrated with App Support! I would expect Support to know how their app works and fix any glitches.
