  1. I would be interested in personal opinions of Diabetes
    management software. Currently I am using an Excel
    spreadsheet to log everything that I feel to be pertinent,
    but recently have had a look at a couple of programs such as
    the Health program and BG Tracker. Both lack a great deal
    from my perspective, but before expending a huge amount of
    effort and many late nights brewing my own database app., I
    would like to learn if something suitable already exists.

    I want full BG, BP, Meds, supplements, general health, etc.,
    as well as food plan that has a database where you can enter
    the values of set meals and recall them at will rather than
    inputting the values every mealtime. I tend to prepare and
    store several meals at a time and am also looking at using
    some commercial diet style heat and eat products for when I
    am traveling. I am not terribly concerned about synching my
    Monitor (MediSense Optium) to it, but that would be a bonus.

    I also want to be able to record daily exercise with time,
    type and duration.

    I would like selective graphing capability and report
    facilities.

    Is there any commercial software that does all of this, or
    am I better of developing my own? I suppose that what I am
    really looking for is personal experience with any
    software that does all of this, not just pointers to
    commercial adverts.

    Any comments appreciated.

    Regards

    David

    Thank you.

    It looks like quite a well designed and very comprehensive
    program. I am playing with it now.

  4. I havn't checked the KDiet web site in a long time. I am
    using version 9.3, they are up to version 11. Also, I see
    they have lowered their price, it was $129 for a long time.
    I'll have to check on their upgrade policy.

    Not suitable for your needs, but maybe a start for you to
    create your own one. I have developed "LXGLUC" which is a
    Lotus 1-2-3 worksheet for diabetes data management. It is
    especially useful for use on HP palmtops, which have Lotus
    1-2-3 built-in.

    It has several statistical evaluation features and a long-
    term diary for several health values in addition to the
    common glucose / insulin diary.
