Interesting Diabetes Tracking Program

Written by

I was asked to look at this program.

I’ll start out though by saying this is probably not a program I would use because I’m extremely efficient. I am not going to use a program that is not going to automatic download my pump and blood sugar meter data. That said, I did download this program and give it a try.

UTS Diabetes software for Palm pilot

The install program is very nice. It leads the users by the hand. Too many Palm programs have poorly designed installation programs.

The insulin calculations set up is very tedious but then that’s something that you don’t do often, and don’t change much.

I also don’t see how to calculate carbs / insulin rations.

It’s got a very good user interface — much better than EzManager.

A nice program, but not that useful for a pumper. Would be great for someone who used multiple daily injections and didn’t carb count, or great for someone on medications.

I used that but found it tedious and overcomplicated after awhile. I use CalorieKing’s Diabetes Log and Diet Diary. Much easier.
Most of these logging programs are not geared to Pumpers unfortunately and don’t take into account of the insulin trailer.

Actually there is running a beta-test on http://www.SiDiary.org for new Pumper’s functionalities.
SiDiary targets Pocket PC platforms and classic Windows systems.
Best of all: SiDiary is a freeware project with a fast growing community (resulting in 9 translated versions after 3 months on the web)…

What I REALLY like about EzManager, is that I can download my pump and bloodsugar information.
However, I was looking at Pocket PC’s lately. Though I figure I’ll end up with a Treo phone someday.
