Something I would like to see is a way to put in the basal. Also, I'd like to be able to put in how many carbs I've had. Just the total not the specific time and food. I'd like to be able to copy my daily totals into Sugar Stats.

My doc would love to see more charts. Specifically one that charts the actual glucose levels rather than a daily average. I too would like to see this. Even if the option was only for premium members, having more charts would be very helpful. But other than that both my doc and I loooove sugarstats!

In addition to individual blood sugars (which I think is a fantastic idea, thanks salty and sweet), averages over periods of the day would be great too, i.e., morning, midday, afternoon, evening, nighttime. Thus, if you were to check 8 or 10 times a day, as I have done in the past, you could get a number for each of those times of day. Also, averages for pre-meal and post-meal and other blood sugars would be nice. Time-averaged / time-integrated continuous blood sugar monitoring input and charting would be fantastic, though not of use to me as yet.

Having just had a pump failure, a place on SugarStats to input pump settings and keep a record of those would be great. Also, a basal meds feature which is taken into account in the daily, weekly, monthly totals and averages would be great. We really should be able to put in our basal rates and let SugarStats calculate the total basal insulin for the day.

In addition, a Ketones entry should be available, either in the Exam Log section, or from within the Sugar Entry section, since that is generally when it's done (upon a high sugar). Something simple like a drop down box that has the options "---, None, Trace, Small, Moderate, Large" would be great.

The other suggestion I have has to do with the Food List. Right now, it's very clunky and a bit hard to use. If I eat something that I don't normally eat, I have to go to the Food List and add it, and then it stays there forever. We should be able to just type in a food name and carb amount in the Food Entry area and not have to add it to the food list. If we do add things to the food list, a search feature for the list (rather than the drop down box) would be great, as the Food List gets VERY long.
