An app to be the ultimate Log book/ Carb counter /Bolus wizard would be great. The perfect app for me would let me search for foods and enter the carbs into a log then calculate a bolus from the carbs just entered and the BG read I have just downloaded from my meter. It would allow me to accept or override the bolus and then enter it all into the log book.

If you could do this for both the IPhone and Android that would be great. That's not asking to much is it? ☺

Well, an app that brings up foods I can have when I'm on the road. Such as starbucks, my friends practically worship there but I never can tell what would be best, usually I get a black coffee or mocha those I've asked about.

Interfacing with other applications would be very useful, like the ability to interface the data file from my Pump/CGM and perhaps a Food App (I like Lose It! b/c the interface is snazzier than MyFitnessPal although I like the more detailed data in MFP too...) and my Garmin 405 would almagamate the three tools together to provide better overall data to interpret.

Interfacing with Calorie King, specific restaurant chains' menus for their carb content.
Good speed. Good luck. Etc.

check out rapidcalc for iPhone. For me it's the best i've found so far.

Hi, sorry to hear about your diagnosis - yet I cannot help but feel that with your proactive attitude you will be great!

Where are you located? Do you have any specific constraints? I am a design grad student (previously a data/info/research person) and looking to collaborate. Would be happy to work with you on defining user requirements etc. or just have a chat!

In any case, I would say what most of the apps do not do is a. avoid duplicating entry and b. be fast enough to be practical. I would also need this to scrape the csv files of my pump if possible. Sent you a PM. Love your style!

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Most of the things mentioned are already in the plans :) I hope that once this app is out, some of you will find it useful!

I think it is great that you want to make an app that would help us. I also think it would be a good idea to go over the various apps for diabetes that are already out there.
Then you could make an app that also incorporates the things that are missing that we would like to see.
