Hello all,

Is this thread still alive? I'm very interested in this space and have talked to quite a few different companies in the industry (or who are trying to get in the industry). I'm really looking to pull together synergistic players for a comprehensive solution aimed at the end user requirements vs. just pandering to the insurance companies for the most part. It seems that there is a major divide between companies aimed at end users and those aimed at providers. A balance of the two would make sense to me as a business person and diabetic desperately wanting functional tools to take my disease managment to the next level....

Hello Joseph,
I'm sure you have TOO many interested parties already, but I thought I'd pitch in my 2 cents -
I was just diagnosed at 41 with Type 1 (no history in the family) and would LOVE to try some mac-software. I'm a teacher and I've been using a Blackberry for the last 5 years because the calendar and address-book synch with my Macs at home and school. I don't use the "on-line" options as I am not interested in the distraction of constant wireless access at this point in my life, but I have been AMAZED at the lack of technology for diabetics, especially Mac users. Last summer I vowed I'd decide on a brand of pump by this time, hoping Dexcom and Animas would merge so I could use the newer technology and synch the info easily with my computer. Knowing that merge might be slow, I figured, at least by now, Medtronics would have some Mac-conversion software out and I'd get hooked up with an old pump and CGM through them. I know I am SO unlikey to ever find the time for hand-entered data. I haven't kept any kind of log since the first month I was diagnosed. If I feel a little "out of control," I scroll through my Mini-Ultra history for a rough idea of how I'm doing every 5 months or so ( :-|| Sure - I know I should be a "better diabetic," but I'm busy being a teacher, a good friend, a wife, a neighbor, and enjoying the rest of life. It's all I can do to make sure I have my cell-phone with calendar alarms set, MiniUltra, test-strips, Lantus, Humalog and needles with me everyday. As for "personal regiment" I'm maxed-out at AM vitamins and regular testing/dosing with meals! Otherwise grading, student-behavior logs, etc... keep me up all night and working through the weekend.

Since the day I was diagnosed I've been surprised there wasn't a CGM/Pump-combo that synchs wirelessly with a cell phone. I will buy the whole package deal the day a reliable version of that comes on the market.

Good luck with your project -
MOST SINCEREST wishes for your success!

Heather

Joe,

Where are you on development on apps for the Iphone that have help manage diabetes? I would like to help brainstorm. I have some ideas about apps.
Let me know.

Thank you,
Ron

hi...I have question. I have windows 7 installed on my laptop and I can't use my ezmanager because of compatibility issues. J&J didn't make the software compatible with Windows 7.

Give this a try…. I'm not sure if it will work
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/What-is-program-compati...
Or this...
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx

I just received what I believe is an updated version because I'm able to run ezmanager on OS X ver 10.6.3
They sent me the new version lastweek.

this is not an iPhone app but it was developed to run on the iPhone. It's a web based program that I wrote to help calculate insulin and carb intakes. I am a programmer and really do enjoy this kind of thing.

Nice! Try also prompting the user for a target BG, instead of assuming it's 100 mg/dl.

Beware: That link displays a bunch of ads and will try to display pop-ups.

ONE add banner at the top of the page
ONE add banner at the bottom of the page
ONE small pop up window the first time you load the page

NOTHING compared to what I feel this small "App" is worth. :D
