There are two or three applications available for the iPhone/iPod Touch. I reviewed one of them here: http://www.honeysweet.us/2009/02/14/a-review-of-the-diabetes-log-it...

There is also GlucoseBuddy, islet, and diabetes pilot. I hope to be reviewing them all soon.

I'm very excited to hear about these applications using the IPhone (and possibly other mobile devices.) Has any thought about how to integrate these apps with tudiabetes.com where others can help monitor, give advice and support others? And possibly how to link this with the healthcare team (Physicians (GP and Endos), Nurse Diabetes Educators, Dietitians etc)?

Thank you!

Steve

I thought this was a great idea at first considering I always have my iPhone with me but after downloading and trying to use a couple (Glucose bud and Glucose) I realized that the last thing I wanted to do after pricking my finger was leave a giant blood smear across the face of my iPhone. So I went back to the low tech route. Unfortunately for me I'm a bleeder :(

According to what I understand, there are iPhone/iTouch apps being produced right now where your glucose readings will transfer over the air via a sensor gateway. For more on this check out this blog post from Diabetic Cookbook Blog.

Glucose Buddy (see http://www.glucosebuddy.com/) is what I use. The current version adds the ability to sync your logs (glucose, meds, food, activity) from your iPhone to an online database. This allows you to keep track of your numbers from a web browser, and it has nice, useful graphs too.

Personally, it has proven to be extremely convenient. I highly recommend it. It is free too!

I will be starting a summer internship with the Glucose Buddy team next week.

Diabetes pilot, works great in all areas - takes a little bit to get customized tho. Once done, it's the best one out there, so far.

I have Diabetes Pilot on my HTC winmo, but find inputting everything manually a drag. Would really love to see more integration with meters, and manufacturers opening it up a bit more.

I'd also love to have something that uses the GPS in my phone to track exercise. At the moment for my cycling i use Garmin .gpx files which i upload to trailguru.com and that gives me a calories burned graphs and stuff.

I think I may get rid of my HTC and go the iPhone way - seems like that's where all the good apps are now ...
