Re: Looking for guest bloggers!

[Guest guest]

Hi Jen,

My favorite iPhone app is Glucose buddy, which lets you sync your logs

with their online server and has push notifications for reminders, For

Example your post meal test. I also use a SensoCard plus talking meter.

If you want anything written about these two items, let me know. I would

be hapy to give it a go.

Cheers,

Brett.

Hi Brett,

I also use Glucose Buddy on my iPhone and the website is also very

accessible. I do find the app crashes a lot with VoiceOver for some

reason when changing the time of day (e.g., before breakfast, after

breakfast, etc.), so I end up entering logs and then going back in to

edit this information before syncing them with the website. Do you find

you have to do this?

I'm planning on writing a review of Glucose Buddy in the near future. If

you want to help with that review, or write one of the SensoCard Plus

meter, I would love that! Is that meter still only available in the UK?
