Diabetes Buddy - Control Your Blood Sugar

I am using this app everyday It is helping me track my progress              Excellent app

Really a great app and so easy to use Highly recommend                 Awesome to track blood glucose

This is my first time needing to check my blood This app is easy to use Easy to understand                 New user

This app is great at helping get my diabetes under control              Great help

Great program for tracking and charting data                 Best

I have been diabetic for 13 years used several apps This is the best tool by far                 Great Tool

I just found out I was diabetic a couple of months ago live in a very rural area with no help available I was just flying by the seat of my pants until I found this app Im still contemplating another one that seems to track everything instead of just carbs but it costs 50year Ill probably do it but for now this has been very helpful              Helpful

I appreciate this app very much It has been very useful to me I would like to see the carb databases and restaurant data updated and expanded at least every year The restaurant data and brand name data is not current Deleting logs is bothersome at times too And calculating serving size might be better with both English and metric measurements However in my opinion this app is the best if its kind and is quite useful and reasonable              D buddy

I have recently been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and have found the app very useful              Very useful

Trying to make favorites and it crashes Other than that I love this app           Upgrade please

Good              Good

Good app but word like to see the following improvements 1 Food database update more often or the ability to check for database updates 2 The option to group the glucose carb and insulin into one report My doctor likes to see it that way 3 The ability to enter formulas in to calculate insulin corrections ie BG 120 50 corrective insulin 4 Would like to see a scanner option added similar to the UPC scanner in the MyFitnessPal app This would allow the scanning of a foods UPC code and automatically enter the foods nutritional value into the database of foods              Good app

I like this app I used the sample then based on the features I bought it Unfortunately it crashed in less than 10 days when I attempted to put a recipe in it Too bad              Good app but

Very helpful to keep track              Diabetes app

Used this app to help keep track of glucose levels Not bad              Good App

I have found this app very helpful While I was diagnosed several years ago I only recently started insulin and this app helps me to keep track of the shots and increased testing Downsides include the limited number of meds that are able to be tracked Like most diabetics I have other medical issues and would like to track all my meds in the same place Being limited to four meds is a bother Also having to delete the dosage when I enter new meds is tedious My biggest issue is not being able to adjust the time On busy days I sometimes forget to enter meds at the times I take them so I end up with before breakfast meds logged two minutes before my before bed meds My only other gripe is that every entry should have a wheel Weight and blood pressure entries are so simple one would think an app designed for diabetics would make glucose entries as easy to enter All in all this is a good app and worth the money              Pretty Good App

Tracks everything a diabetic should need to help monitor the disease therefore a 3 star app at best gets 4 stars from me Issues NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT Unable to import data entered on lite version requiring reentry on 7 version Backuprestore does not work Unnecessary decimal data fields when only whole numbers are needed Different data entry modes for numeric entries on different screens Lacks per meal display of some of the data tracked Only collects carbnutrition into 4 groups breakfast lunch dinner other I eat 3 meals 3 snacks each day so I could use at least 6 groups instead of 4 Database is geared towards people that eat garbage instead of wholesome foods Would be nice for those who care enough to cook their own to more easily search the database without having to scroll through every restaurant packaged food to get to the basics Sorting seems odd when present Ability to sort some data like favorite foods would be helpful Randomly loses some data Yesterday I went to enter afternoon snack found that breakfast lunch morning snack entries had vanished for no apparent reason Had to re enter data which I remembered but if data had been further back I would not have Documentation would be helpful I stumbled on a way to delete an entry but would have liked to just look it up instead Again because its so important NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT I use the app because I havent found a better one but using this one makes me want to just create my own              Great idea not the greatest implementation

Easy to use and handy when you are ready to record I have been using for 3 months and found it very helpful in managing my carbs and reducing blood sugars Only complaint is the cumbersome backup which I avoided and ended up losing several months data This feature needs improving              Beats a paper log

Program closes sometimes when add a record plus is tapped              San Fontana

I just started using this app today and my frustration is the selection of foods in the database is so small Are the users the only ones populating the foods           Needs more foods

I was so confused by the different diabetes apps when I found this app but it has all I need and more Even my doctor likes its portability and that I can record data wherever I am Great job                 All you need and more

I love the app but its buggy First is the recipes Every time I try to add ingredients from favorites it crashes Second after you arrange the foods in your favorites and save it they ALWAYS go back to before you saved them           Please FIX the Recipes

Great tool When I use it keeps me honest The outcome is better managed IDDM and improved communication with my MD did take a work to learn food lists and how to document quickly Does have space to add notes on most screams I would also find a diary page to document eventsgoalsevaluationsquestions would help to keep info all together under one app Worth every penny USING THIS AP WILL HELP PREVENT DIABETIC COMPLICATIONS GET IT FOR A BETTER LIFE                 Taking Control

It has helped me to keep a better tap on my blood sugar numbers I do like the Email option I can use to send to my doctor who wants an account of my numbers                 Very useful

Gets the job done with counting carbs tracking glucose and water intake But after using it for almost 3 weeks I notice that the email function doesnt work so how am I supposed to give results to my doctor and every single time I try to use the my recipe function it crashes Quite frustrating since every morning I have to enter every ingredient of my protein shake even though I drink the same shake everyday But at any rate I have learned what foods have lots of carbs and what my average carb intake is for a day I just will be looking elsewhere for getting more than that from an app           Not bad But crashes with recipes

I would like to see a goal count for sugar salt and cholesterol similar to the weight and glucose After the last upgrade the carb field in the Custom Food section will no longer save the entry This needs to be fixed ASAP I like this app and it has been very helpful to me in preventing diabetes It has help me control my carb intake monitor salt intake and loose weight This app needs a sharing feature so that it is easy to transfer data from one iPhone to an iPad or another iPhone via the iCloud This would be very helpful when you upgrade to a new phone The backup to a pc instructions needs to be more detailed Restaurants needs to be updated more often More restaurants and food items In the My Recipe many common food items show up as raw instead of sliced tomatoes or white mushrooms Amount of salt content in some Name Brand food items show up as 0mg or mg but in actuality has quite a large amount as listed on the package It would also be helpful if the BP portion of the app would tell you when your pressure is high average or low A 30 60 and 90 day average for BP and weight would be very helpful Would like to see a section for buffets similar to My Recipe section This would be helpful when you build salads and hot plates at a Ryans or Golden Coral etc The button in the Custom Food Groups does not work to add custom food groups ie MeatFish TV Dinners etc This was fixed in the last upgrade Add mcg to the unit of medication Need to allow for more than 5 medications LB           Diabetes Buddy

I really only use this app to help me count carbs and it has an amazing database Best Ive ever seen                 Love the carb database

A huge disappointment I should have known better after trying the lite version thinking the expensivE version would have all the features I needed and a better interfacenot Editing your entries is not really possible so dont make mistakes doing your entries Sharing your data is not customizable you will have to take the excel file and add some entries manually Adding custom food is not pleasant you cannot access all the drop down menu items on an iPad or iPhone The meds portion has several bugs in there as well I cannot believe they havent made any improvements to this in almost 2 years Spend your 7 elsewhere     Disappointing

Ive been using this app since 2013 Today I had to restore my iPad to factory settings and all went well until I tried to restore my Diabetes App backup It crashes every single time All my history all my favorites all my recipes everything gone What good is a backup without a working restore        Restore is useless

As of Sept 2015 is no longer crashing 81215APP still crashing DO NOT BUY NO SUPPORT AVAILABLE 61615the crashing issue is still there I switched to an iPad Air and the issue is still there Is this ever going to be fixed This was a great app but lack of attention is causing deterioration I also have never seen this review posted I have used this app since 2012 and have watched it go down hill ever since I updated my iPad 2 to newest 82 software and now the app crashes requiring it to be restarted several times before able to use Support is nonexistent As of 4415 still having issues with above issues Also a long time issue when entering glucose numeric reading this app retains previous reading from last test This has to be deleted and entered adding trailing zeros Long time issue that has never been resolved Great app but needs attention it doesnt get NEEDS TO BE STORED ON CLOUD SO ALL MY DEVICES CAN SHARE              Seems to be ok

This is a wonderful App It shows my doctor exactly how Im doing with my diabetes Love that it tracks my weight too                 Good app

I purchased this app for my diabetes I have to say it isnt worth the 699 I paid for it It isnt very user friendly when looking up food Yes it has a lot of different foods but the info on the food isnt always correct either And when you are added a food you cant put all info in it doesnt allow you toIt also has a couple of glitches when you are putting in your glucose and hit the button on the top it takes you out of the app This happens ALOT other wise I like that it stores your info        Not that happy

You would think that for close to 7 bucks that it wouldnt be so clunky Good data just the UI is really clumsy Dont buy this one there are better ones that are just as clunky for free        Ehits ok

Great                 Great

This app dovetails with what my doctor wants me to track                 Loretta T

20 June 2015 App developer is extremely unresponsive This application suffers from several bugs poor and meaningless graphs constant crashing and very poor backup and restore capabilities Since iOS 7x the date picker only will work the first time when entering Medications After that there is a bug that even when the date is shown it keepsasking for the specific event instead Mine has to kill the app and restart it again to enter another medication with a different datem this same issue also exists in iOS813 Graphs for glucose level do not break down daily weekly or monthly periods into the specific events out of bed before and after meals before and after activities etc when you have the graph by period the graph is meaningless since it averages all readings by periods and shows that instead Totally worthless As of iOS 8x the app crashes constantly when trying to scroll back the reading history of anything glucose level weight medications blood pressure etc The app only allows backup and recovery to a computer and not the cloud The app developer has been contacted around 5 times since 2014 They do not respond to emails nor have they fixed the app After several years I have opted to switch to a different provider and to delete this app altogether I would never recommend this app to anyone 09 May 2015 All of the pros and cons from back in 2012 still remain The biggest detractor remains to be the poor backup and recovery The developers absolutely need to enable automatic backups to a cloud provider to protect data as well as enable multiple iOS device use of same data The user interface is atrocious and needs to be modernized with an addition category entry for general notes Bug exists on date picker when entering medications that requires you stop the app all together and then restart it to enter it When entering new BGC reading the last value is shown instead of being cleared Graphs still do not show BGC reading based on time categories time categories should come up as suggested values based on the actual time of day I have found the developer to be totally unresponsive to direct website entry of suggestions questions and reporting of bugs It is sad because this one of the allinone apps in the App Store Makes me wish I had iOS programming experience to be able to improve on this application Oct 2012 Pros BGC weight BP Carbs water and activity tracked by one application Relatively simple to use although interface is clumsy Shorter menu is better Cons data plots for BGC only plots daily high Would expect to publish all checks and the average Need plot carbs with BGC Backup and Restore of your logs is simply horrid The Backup site seems to be down verified by multiple computers Why could they have not simply back data to Box DropBox iCloud or similar site Ridiculous     Would have expected more at this version level

Tracks everything my doctors want to see and allows export via Email              Good App for Journaling Food vitals

I use this app to help monitor my moms diabetes It has been a lifesaver Literally This app is easy to use and accurate The data is easily imported into an Excel spreadsheet to be shared with my moms doctor Love the app Would recommend it to anybody with diabetes                 Great app

Does everything I need it to do and then some                 Perfect

This app is very useful and easy to use with many features for all my diabetic needs I have recommended it to several friends One thing that would be nice is if you could scan a barcode and get nutrition facts Im very satisfied with this app                 Very Useful

Why do I need to delete and then go out one decimal Not ideal Otherwise a nice app              Good but wish recording results was better

Everything you could want The one thing that could be improved is more comprehensive charting and analytics              Almost Perfect

Pretty much does what it says it does My doctor loves the print outs of my blood sugars Easy for him to read Id really like to be able to sync using Dropbox But this has been the easiest and best diabetic app Ive found to date              Nice app

I love and use this APP many times a day HOWEVER it keeps crashing lately I deleted and reinstalled Then after that didnt work I emailed support a week ago Nothing Please help me Great program Needs more settings I use total carbs not net                 Amazing

This is good tool to keep records The problem is the reports My doctor wants to see report that prints time of day together Re all breakfast together all lunch together etc A column for each This only improvement doctor recommended Thanks Jim Farley Up date It is still very helpful but still no reports for doctor Jim Farley I find that this is so complicated that is difficult to keep up with and use              Jim Farley

Great app The carb counter is the best with the use over the database of foods A great addition would be a pedometer that automatically tracks waking steps or jogging              Walking

This App just might save my life but you need to update your restaurant food data base              Cool App

I am using only part of the features as I want to PREVENT diabetes I like the activityBP and carb tracking The database should allow for users to contribute more information Failing that you should be able to create a favorite out of a quick add This is the only app I have found for carb tracking instead of calorie tracking BP graphs would be improved if you could separate morning afternoon and evening readings The ability to record notes is a plus and the file it emails is csv so you can manipulate further after export              Diabetes buddy

I really like this app All the needed records are in one place and it is easy to add to the lists Even print them for my doctor                 Love it

This app helps me regulate and track my type II                 Great app
