Diabetes, Sugar levels and IPod Touch/IPhone apps

I know that we have a number of Diabetics amongst us, Type 1 and 2, and you would understand the importance of monitoring your sugar levels - especially if you are on Insulin.

In the past I've been using my laptop and a freeware program to record my levels because I had this with me throughout the day.

My computer usage patterns have changes and this doesn't work for me any more.

I recently was given an IPod Touch and I'm using it more and more for portable computing.

Does anyone else use a app for an IPod Touch/IPhone to record their sugar levels and what is it called?

iPod Touch, not iTouch.

Your best bet is to look in the app store. For this you may need to use iTunes software, which is free (comes with OSX and downloadable for Windows). I honestly do not know if an iPhone or iPod can directly download and install apps without iTunes--I suspect it cannot, but I don't know. If you've installed otehr apps directly, well there's the answer to that!

I don't use my iPod any more, and find the hand held screen ridiculous. I looked at a couple tracking apps for my Droid phone, but decided I liked my dual 24" monitors better!<G>

I use Glucofacts Deluxe by Bayer on my Win Vista box, along with a Contour USB meter which transfers data by just plugging the meter into a USB port--but I also enter stuff from a different meter manually into the software and it works fine. Hard to download the software because the links on Bayer's site are all broken--and their tech support doesn't know it or care. Technically you can only get there by registering a meter, but that's broken too. But there is a way in, to download it through a "professional" link. If you PM me I'll give it to you.

Thanks, Mac. Yes there are a few apps available through the App store. I was hoping to get some first hand knowledge of which some of you guys were using successfully before I tried them all.

Just a 'not reinventing the wheel thing' really.
