Pretty good
I have tried a few diabetes apps now. This one is pretty good although quite rigid. I would like to see a "0" or skipped / missed / NA applicable status for both meds and meals sometimes I don't eat a snack, sometimes I do. Sometimes I don't need insulin - sometimes I do. Additionally, report log rewrites every week so either automatically send me the report or give me the ability to selected a long timeframe (30, 90 days). It would be a great think if it would link to MyFitnessPal for my calories / carbs so I don't have to enter it twice. Additionally, once 90 days has been collected it would be a great analytic if it could estimate my A1C (recognizing it's just an estimate). Overall, good app and I will continue to use.
Would it hurt to be more truthful?
I was searching for a management app that would let me decide what carb levels I wanted to attain, per the newer research that a lower carb (KETO etc) medium protein, higher fat protocol was better for diabetes management. There was nothing in the description to say whether or not I could set my macronutrients. Got it installed and it immediately determines I need hundreds of calories in carb, waaaaay more than I am used to now. There was no way to dial it down to a more appropriate 5-10% of calories as carb, or medium percentage of protein. It just says bam! 50+ grams of carbs at breakfast, lunch, etc for the day.
Furthermore, it is not current with the research now in regards to the need for higher levels of fat and lower levels of carbs - so the red/yellow/green codes for foods to avoid, foods in moderation, and foods to enjoy are rather scrambled up (like butter and coconut is bad, etc. onions were good, etc.).
Oh, and in the list of foods, they had a listing for "Dal" which is lentils - very common in India cooking. I thought cool, lets see what they have to say about it!? But, they have a photo of an Avocado! Not cool!!
So I am deleting the app. It's not what I am looking for and I would not have bothered to download if the specific descriptions had been more accurate.
What? I can do all that?
Wow I love this app! I can't believe how much I can get done with one app. I have type 2 Diabetics and have a serious stubborn streak when working with apps. I want them easy to use and have what I need. This one does and more than I expected. It's a keeper.
It would get 5 stars but the bar scanner doesn't work on my iPhone 7 and I hate the wheel I have to use to enter my glucose reading. Let me punch in three numbers and be done with it.
