mySugr - Diabetes Tracker Log

first of all, I am concurrently also testing with the Pettest blood glucose meter. I ran out of pet test strips and was in a bind because I had not received my mail order strips specifically for dog blood with my dog eat… so I did a fairly exhaustive search online for the most accurate human meter that was available that could help me in an emergency situation. At least get a ballpark for my dog. I have to say this meter on these strips are a godsend. I chose this company’s meters because of the BG range that it tested. I realize that it is not 100% accurate, but in truth, every drop of blood is going to test differently, just from my own experience. It’s darn close though, and in a pinch, I can pick up this meter and the matching strips for an amount of money that doesn’t hurt me, and I can in the very least do my best to keep my dog out of the danger zone. And… I absolutely love the app!!!! I love the tags. I love the notes that I can take, I love being able to just scroll through and see what the numbers have been over a week, knowing what my dog has eaten, knowing how she felt uncertain days… I love this app. It helps me feel a bit more confident in what I’m doing… Especially since she can’t tell me. Thank you. Guide Me and this adorable app… And you even make me giggle along with your little emoji… 🫠🫶🏽 PS- if if you would like to be a test a dog version??? Please count me in!🐾

Helps you hot your targets! Great seeing GLU and ZBP side by side - gives fuller context to meaning of the metrics👍🏾. Need better and complete graphics support. We should be able to take the data from these of charts and put them into graphs that are visual and then indicate some nature about the statistics such a standard mean standard deviation you know that kind of stuff this would be helpful also for those of us who can read the data and do analysis, there should be an ability to take a C SV file and put it into a standard graphic program that does that kind of statistic and analysis of variance that would be a simple thing to do for any programming/Systems Engineer, I’ve done some of this with a Excel spreadsheet. What is big conversation because the CVS well doesn’t always had the right format so there’s some tweaking I need to do. But thank you for a beautiful app. Last suggestion is to see if you could incorporate blood oxygen and post data alongside some of this information because I usually take that when I do my glucose and blood pressure readings, this would be very useful for getting more full picture of what’s going on in the old body at different times of the year as well as to render insights to our caregivers perhaps this kind of addition in integration would help care providers to think more holistically when they see the whole picture of what is monitored by reasonable knowledgeable persons every day in the mornings evenings, and sometimes 2 to 3 times a day.

Nice stable app for recording sugars and medications and viewing trends. The “slaying the monster” approach is used as a lighthearted incentive (and you can turn off the audio when you tire of it). The free version is definitely useful. The subscription version might be nice if you have a meter that syncs data with mySugr covered by your health plan (mine doesn’t). There are some extra features available in the subscription version (e.g., photos of meals and extra event categories/rationale), which also enable you to “earn” more points to slay the monster. My largest negative/frustration is the way it defines the minimum number of results for calculating HA1c estimates. My insurance only pays for 3 finger sticks a day (for type II), so even if I have months of data recorded, mySugr will often state it has insufficient data. Most people will visit a doctor during the day, so there will always be a partial day of data (for me that is less than 3 sticks). It does not make sense that it will provide me an estimate of HA1c at 11:59pm, but won’t at 12:01am (2 minutes later), although it has the same amount of data. Based on responses to help tickets, this is currently considered a “feature” rather than a bug. Technically, this would appear to be an easy fix [e.g., using 24 hr periods (rather than “days”) or calculating using the previous full day]. I’m guessing that changing the calculation might require a recertification cost, since it is certified as a medical device, so maybe we will see an improvement in later?
