Glucose Buddy : Diabetes Log

App as a whole is great, ability to track multiple items a definite plus. However not being able to backup the data and not getting any response from the app author for several years cause's me to downgrade to three stars. Good app, no support from developer equals low review.

Type 2 diabetic having trouble keeping sugars under control. This simple and intuitive app seems to be significantly helping me get things back in order. Entering data is so simple and the graphic depiction of my stats is so compelling, that I believe my much needed success is at hand. Many thanks to the designers of this powerful app.

Love this app. Used it since 2008. I recommend it to anyone who has diabetes. Keeping track of your blood sugars, medicine intake and food eaten daily. Best of all, you can share this information with your doctors online. Make sure you get their email addresses. This can allow them to adjust your dosages if needed. Neato!

Does it let you track you BG levels? Yes. Does it let you track food, meds and other info? Yes. Does it let you sync to their online system or PC? HELL NO. Looked at their forums and they have been promising "coming soon" for over 2 years. Their website, other than the forums, has no menetion of the Android app, only the iPhone version. I guess iPhone is the only phone in existence. Us Android users are dilusional. Fortunately for me, I only have a few days worth of data to figure out how to transfer to another app. If you just want a log, use it. If you want reporting and online access, better be an excel expert and a good web developer to create your own reporting and online access system.

As others have said in their reviews. This is an easy-to-use application tracking the basics of diabetes care. Only problem is, as Android users, we're forgotten step-children who can't do what iPhone users can and sync with the website version. If you can't sync with the web version, what exactly is the point of entering the same information in both places twice?

I've tried several glucose tracking apps. This app is the best overall. I haven't found any other app that's as easy to set up and use. I like that this app doesn't hold your data hostage til you pay a monthly subscription. What you get with this app you get from day one. There are apps with more bells and whistles than you really need. This app does a few things REALLY WELL. That's what you want, not a dozen things moderately well. The only two things this app lacks is more chart and email options.

The numbers on the graph are really small and for people with bad eyesight to begin with, the diabetes sometimes makes it worse. Other than that I love every bit of this app. I have already recommended this to my friends and even my primary care physician loved this! She has diabetes as well. Thanks so much for a well made program.

Love this app, I've used it with my past two pregnancies for gestational diabetes and it's been a huge help! Only complaint is that since the new year I'm having issues with the calendar displaying information from 2015 entries in the month view. Also it would be nice if we could click on the date and enter in information for that day instead of having to always set the date when entering new information. Overall great app :)

This App makes it easy to keep track of your blood glucose and medications. I wish the food records were better with options already loaded like other Apps. I need to watch calories, carbs, fat, and protein. This App is not user friendly for that. Needs a little improvement but overall it does a great job for blood glucose tracking.

Glucose Buddy has really helped me track my cat's diabetes. It's easy to set up, however once diet & medication information is entered, it would be nice if it was possible to edit them. Instead one must delete mistakes and enter the item again. But the log itself is easily edited once set up. The log can also quickly be emailed to his doctor. The graph is easy to read. The reminders work great and are easy to control, keeping me on task.

My wife downloaded this app on her iPhone and it works great. Connects to our daughters account and she can enter in all pertinent information. Until the android version does the same I will stick with the browser. If your goal is to save and share data from any device the Android version of this app is nowhere close to where it needs to be or where it is on the iPhone.

Just installed. Though it enters BP, weight etc., no mention of insulin dose which is very important. In an ideal graph, BG must be synchronised with insulin injections, so as to either adjust Insulin dose or the carbohydrate intake by the family doctor or patient himself if knowledgeable. I am an insulin dependent medical doctor and would be able to adjust the dose or carbs.

I have been using the app for 1.5 years and like it a lot. However, everytime I have to change phones (twice:1 phone upgrade and 1 warranty issue), I lose all my data and have to start over, as I can't synch it with my Gmail account or some other cloud to access across devices. Update to accommodate this and I would give it 5 stars.

Great little app although required some learning. Food log needs work as adding each item is a pain. Also time of day periods should be defined by user so you don't have to select an entry for each log (before breakfast; after lunch etc) let me set default meds so I don't have to add them at each entry either.

I have the tru2go meter from Walgreens which has a 99 test memory, but that doesn't do much good since it doesn't keep track of date and time at all. I got real sick of having to cary around a log book since it is bigger than my meter. This app has easily become the most valuable (and most used) one on my Galaxy s4. I absolutely love it! I can easily record my blood sugar levels, check the graphs for trends, track my weight, track my A1C results, AND email all of this information to my doctor and my self!

Been.a type 2 since 2004. This has been the best app out of all that i have tried. Easy to use,you can set alarms if you like, not only that you can make notes when logging blood levels, track your weight & blood pressure too if you wish. I especially like the graphs & my Dr. Love the fact that the app can email him my info since last Dr appointment a day or 2 b4 my vist so he can go over it b4 he sees me. The only drawback. Is if u r tracking your food, There is no easy check list u have to put it in.

I used to love this app. It was very helpful for me to keep track of my blood sugar results & email my logs to my physician. However now many simple functions no longer work. I can no longer go in & add several results at one time because it won't let me change the date or time. The email log function is also not working. I tried to unintell & reinstall but this did not fix the issue. VERY DISAPOINTED

I am only using the bare functionality, but it has plenty of adaptability to record a lot more than I am. Has been a very useful tool in the short time I have been using it. One addition that I would recommend is the option to adjust the logs that you export. There is such a thing as too much information.

I've been using it for a week and I like it. Recording weigh, blood pressure, and glucose all in one app. You can also list meds, food, and activity. So far it's easy to use. The only issue found, I could not edit a med once saved but there is a workaround. I would recommend this app if you care to keep a history of your stats.!

This is really a very good app. Very convenient, very easy to learn, overall nicely designed. Just a few minor quibbles. I would like to have ability to sort food entries alphabetically, for one thing. Actually, I think food entries should automatically sort alphabetically. Much easier to locate things once you get a longer list. That is probably my biggest beef. I would also like to see the BG entry for event (Before breakfast, After dinner, etc.) auto-coordinate with the other entries for meds. More...

Don't need out of bed notes when you got the time posted. Need carb entry or foods consumed containing carbs. Need insulin or insulin s entry. Need minutes of exercise note per entry. Please update asap. You almost have the best app on the market. I Also use a sliding scale. It would be nice If my reading reflected the amount of insulin to inject using settings to build a scale to reflect the needed insulin.

This is my third day using this App. I find it to be,for me, a less complicated way to show my results to those concerned with my results. The only thing that I would ask is a line for sugar levels and oxygen levels too. My doctors like to see those numbers too. Now I insert them as a note above the blood pressure line. I'VE NOW BEEN USING THIS APP FOR MANY MONTHS. I HAD TO REPLACE MY PHONE AND WHEN I LOGGED MY RESULTS I REALIZED ALL MY PAST RESULTS WERE GONE. IS THERE A WAY TO RECOVER MY PAST RESULT

GB needs to fix the blood pressure graph but if you are afraid that you might lose your data export to your email every month. I recommend downloading monthly report to excel to make graph to show you doctor. Waayy better than Healow which my HMO uses. They should use GB instead.

This app allows me to track my blood sugar, food, meds, blood pressure, and weight all in the same place. The places for improvement would be: allow sorting from oldest to newest; ounces for food or no req for weight; put BP in same area; and fix bug with reminders. The BG reminders keys off the wrong events. Instead of alerting after meals, it alerts 2 hours after I have inputted my post-meal BG's. Hope the sync feature will be ready soon.

Great app but the second time I opened it, i received a message trying to force me to give extra details about myself to google or the app won't open ... This is an app providing medical support to people with a serious medical condition. Is the privacy of users at risk by using this app??? Was the message part of permission for private information to be fed to google for sale to third parties??

Update: Found a better app. Easier to change settings, better exporting formats, better graphs. Try OnTrack for the Android. (old review) Very easy to use. I only use the log portion (meds and bg) though. I dont like the graph. hard to zoom in/out. numbers on the x/y axis is too small. gotta squint to see.

I looked at several apps and wanted one that didn't use a lot of memory. This is day 4 and I find it easy to use, easy to enter readings and notes and modify later. There's no food log but I just use the notes and that keeps all the information together when reviewing the logs. My daughter has tried a few of the other apps and found them difficult to use. I showed her this one and I think she is using it too.

While I was hoping to be able to use this on more than one device and sync (the app states this will come in future) I do find it easy to use after the initial learning. I sometimes forget to select the after meals or bedtime buttons but there are plenty to choose from for every possibility. I like that I can make a note and it shows up on the log page also. My only disclaimer is that I'm fairly new to diabetic needs and this is the first digital log I have tried, but now I'm used to it, I see no reason to change.

I like the ease. However, I have gastroparesis as well and have to keep track of carbs, fats and fiber. Each time i enter a food I have to re enter the same info because it doesn't carry through and its very hard not having a running total of each category so you can tell where you are at with it. I've looked at lots of apps but cant seem find one that does it all

Great app I use it daily. But the app has been put aside by its developers. The ability to backup your data has never been developed among other things. It could easily be a 5 but if left unattended I may have to find a more suitable app. I just upgraded my phone and lost almost a years worth of tracking because of the inability to backup and restore.my data.

Couldn't be more than happy with this app :) It's just what I've been looking for to help me manage my pre-diabetes. So easy to use, I love the graphing functions that make it really simple to see patterns in my bg levels. It's also great that it tracks your weight, food intake and blood pressure too. It's making me even more motivated to keep my bg levels on an even keel. Thanks for this great app!

I like that it puts in the current time and date for me but allows me to change it when I'm putting in past entries. I also really like that there is a note section and the simple but effective user interface. The graphs need work. They are too small for me to read and don't expand well. Also I think there are some other ways to group and show the data but I'm not sure what is there right now. It too small for me to see.

This app is great. It's very helpful to have when you are on the go all the time. I used to carry a small notebook, but it was too much hassle. When I started using this app things became so much easier. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars is because I wish that when you entered food it would just let you save the food and the grams of carbs with it instead of saving the food then entering the amount of carbs. I wish it were more like a food library I guess you could say. If it did that it'd get 5 stars.

I love this app its so easy 2 use even my dad who carnt read can use it. Its easy 2 set up n the graph is so helpful. I can add notes n c weight gain or loss jst with a push of a button n having bp on it as well. This is overall a great app n very well done. Keep up the good work. Even my doctor is recommending it 2 others.

I really like how simple this app is to log BG readings, adding notes to explain foods eaten prior, or activities. Also the weight tracker is convenient and all in one place. I don't have diabetes, so I'm not sure what features would make it even better, but, as is...it's great! As an update I just wanted to add that I wish this app had the ability to upload to Google Drive. My other phone crashed and I lost all my history, so I'm starting over. I still love this simple and effective app regardless.

This is the best tracking app so far & I've tried a bunch. It's simple to the point. Sometimes my time stamp is off when I have to enter a day I forgot. But otherwise don't change a thing. It's free, it's simple, my Dr. Loves it. She just goes down the log and reads my daily numbers. It tracks everything I need to keep track of. Oh did I mention it's free? Everyone who has to keep track of their vitals & blood sugar downloads it when I show them the app.

Its like having your diabetes/Endocrin office in your pocket. You can put in-depth information in, or you can just log quick BS readings. Has it's own chart/graph section to keep track of your averages for week - year. No dog-eared papers to keep up with, or remembering what log book your using now. Main screen is broken up into easy to understand picture options. No tutorial required. I am recommending this to everyone I know who has diabetes. 5(five) ***** easily.

This app is comprehensive and easy to use. Keeping track of all meds, foods, be readings, a1c, weight and blood pressure. Provides historical graph for be readings. It also can email CSV files of logs. My only issue is not being able to edit existing database items. Currently a new entry has to be made with edit and old deleted. Have already recommended to family and Diabetes Support Group.

I'm eight months pregnant and the doc said I had to start watching my BG. Doc gave me a Onsync meter, which had no app for smart phones. I searched for a easy BG log to widget to my phone and out of them all this is by far the best! I've never had to count carbs to keep my BG down, and I'm green to this whole Gastastional Diabetes Therapy...I highly recommend this app for anyone!!!

I am able to track daily. It would be better if it were more intuitive so you do have to select what time of day your tracking. In addition the files I have attempted to email are not readable and when I switched phones I couldn't save my information.
