Sue,
As a geek try Email ’n Walk on your iPhone.
It uses the iPhone’s camera to show you a live picture of everything you’re missing while you hold your phone in front of your face.

Hi - recently diagnosed with Type II and trying to drag myself away from the computer more often so that I can exercise instead. Not being too successful so far. What with web design work, blogging, and voluntary work for online support groups the lure of the web is too strong!

I'm running boot camp solely to upload the meter data, and then can access the data from the mac side via safari and a user agent set to firefox/windows - no problems so far (technique was covered in an earlier post by Geo (Neo?) - can't remember, but its a great trick...

Geekiness started with a TRS-80 in 5th or 6th grade, but slowed down in high school...

Lifescan isnt going to bother with Mac software last i heard, ever think of going down the dreaded V path (Virtualization)
.... Supposedly many USB devices are compatible with Boot Camp... or Parellels/Virtualbox

Hello All. I am new to tudiabetes.com. I can say this is the most informative website I have found yet. I have been working in the computer field for the past 8 yrs. I only have two certs at this time, A+ and Network+. I have taken courses in college for a BS in computer science and classes for MCSE, Security+, and CCNA. Only reason I haven't gotten completely certified is I ran out of $$. Paying the bills and putting food in my families mouth was a lot more important at the time. Right now I'm laid off from a sweet network engineering due to the fall in the economy.

Hey all, new here (and new to diabetes). Most my certs are in pentesting but right now I am managing a enterprise information systems risk management program.

Anyway, has anyone come across any options for tracking their data (glucose, exercise, diet) on a blackberry? I came across HealthEngage and am evaluating that on a iPAQ but dont want to go all inspector gadget with multiple gadgets. I also like that that software runs on my powerbook and dell laptops.

I have the onetouch ultrasmart meter, and the onetouch software, but the part that falls short is the diet tracking, i need something that i can just type in foods to, and not need to know the cals/carbs/etc..

TIA!

Anyone successful with any Mac apps that will take a couple of Life Scan One Touch meters and merge data - like Life Scan's own software. I recently had my doctor print out reports and it was way cool - gotta have it, but I am not Windows.

I am a total geek. Aspergers Syndrome. Say no more:). My son has type 1 and if this thing could be beat by "out-thinking" it . . . I think this is the group to join! Oh, for a cure . . . .
