I don't use any of these.  I just have my little note book rubber banded to my meter.  Reasons -

1.  Notebooks never 404/Crash on you

2.  Carrying a laptop everywhere sucks and you have to carry the notebook anyway (lest you don't remember something)

3.  No one can hack a notebook (and if they look at my shorthand/handwriting they are lost)

4.  What girl doesn't like a man who looks studious as he quickly jots in an important looking notebook.

5.  Best way to pick up said girls (they inevitably ask what I'm writing).

6.  My doctor just downloads my meter to her computer anyway

7.  Once something is on the internet it is there forever.  I really don't like my personal daily goings on placed on some random website for anyone to get ahold of.

I've been using Diabetes Pilot on both my Mac & my iPod touch for a little over a month. A few years ago, I used the PC version, but got lazy, and didn't renew it. Anyway. It's very customizable - has a huge database of foods that you can add to, customize any exercises you may do, set your hi/lo parameters... all the stuff you'd expect. What I really enjoy, besides the variety of graphs and reports it can create, is that I can sync the data between my Mac & iPod. I don't have to send large email attachments, I can print them up and study them, at my convenience.
Maybe it's working so well because I've been taking a very pro-active approach recently, but being able to see so many variables plotted out in so many ways has really helped me get a better grip on my patterns. It's costly, with the PC/Mac versions costing somewhere around $40, and the iTines App being $12.99, but I'm glad I convinced my husband I needed this. LOL. Now, if only they'd come out with an Android App.... sigh.
