Met a guy recently that created his own pump that was completely ran by his iPhone. Seriously! Saw him using it! The technology is out there it's just a matter of convincing the "deep pockets" this is what we want.

I agree:Lack of convenience due to manual entry..we need a smarter and less time consuming solution.

I like the idea of apps for logging my BS, insulin, carb count. Throughout the discussion it is mentioned that app would be a "duplication" for anyone with a pump, CGM, intergrated meter.

I am a Type 1 MDI and I would love to have assistance by a touch of botton on my phone to calculating carbs, calculation bolus and just logging.

I truely dislike logging, I test my blood sugar, but just do not log.

Before I got all wired up, I was using (and still use) an iPhone App called "Diabetes Pilot." One thing I like about it is that it has a desktop component that allows you to run reports, look for trends, etc. It has a database as well and you can also add your own foods. The customer service with the programmers has been fantastic. They are very responsive. You don't need to purchase the desktop component -- the app itself is pretty powerful on its own. I resisted logging for years. Once I got serious about my control I found I needed to log to keep track of my insulin and carbs. Having it on the handheld was the only way I could manage to do it. The app goes for about 12 bucks.

I'll second Diabetes Pilot, as I use it on my iPod touch and it's been great over the past year or so (although my needs are simple). Haven't felt the need to buy the desktop companion which can do more graphing and number grunting, because everything I want (except maybe printing) is in the iPod/iPhone app. When I first started using it there were a few usability issues which I raised to the developers by feedback. To their credit they fixed these issues in the very next update. All the updates so far have been free. It's also available for Palm and Windows Mobile.

Hi Kevin,

can logforlife import data? For example, from my Lifescan software data that I'll export. Thanks!

wavesense app is perfect, i love how you can view your diabetes in a different ways:
PROS: logging is pretty simple, easy to transition through information, you can change the backgrounds, view data in different ways like chart, average, or standard deviation. Lots of choices to pick from about how your day is going (to much exercise, to little, to much insulin, not enough). The graph i think will fit in more sugars, but it shows your before and after of each meal and has a slot of night. Clicking on the individual logs will show what you ate, carbs, insulin intake.
CONS: well i was going to complain that you can't add a note, but i just realized you can :o. I would like to be able to put my own pics as the background. Really no bad cons

I use Food IQ by Obsessive Code. You can enter your weight, BG, meals, and it has a large food database. I know I don't use it fully, although I'm completely satisfied with what it does for me. The best parts are 1) it's extremely customizable and 2) you can enter the foods you prefer in a separate database. Also, I got fabulous customer service the only time I had a question.

I am using an iPhone/ itouch app called carb control, in a nut shell it is calorie king, on you handheld, and is good for US and Canada restaurants. Also let's you set daily carlorie limits and track them. Very good program for only $1.99 !!!!!!

I have started a Thread on this also but can not post via my itouch.

Anyone see this one: http://www.bantapp.com/ ?

Cool that it's named after Freddy Banting who discovered insulin. I haven't tried the app yet but it looks interesting.

I just saw an email about this from a web developer friend in Canada, somehow connected to the writers. it looks interesting in its interface, but not sure if it has the activity/food logging abilities I would use...
