Hi
I never really recorded my BS reading by writing them down but my partner is interested in helping me manage my diabetes and would like me to start recording my results down and sharing them with him. Is there an app on the iPhone that I can record my results where my partner can also see?
 
Have you heard of Diasend?
I download my meter results to Diasend and they are then available for review anywhere in the world via a password protected website.
Very useful for DSN & consultant appointments and would also mean your partner could see them.
 
Hi Jayno, welcome to the forum. It’s a nice friendly place where you can learn all sorts of stuff from fellow diabetics.

And that provides the answer to your question. Unless your partner has T1 diabetes, I can’t see that any advice or help would be any practical use. Advice on here will be.

In any event, I wouldn’t want an App where my results could be shared by anyone else. It’s too private. It’s my concern, and mine only. And my doctor, obviously, but I can just show him my phone or Libre reader.

So, as I said, ask your questions for assistance on here - there’s no such thing as a stupid question - because the advice will be reliable and useful.

Living in Scotland, my results are available on MyDiabetes MyWay, but only available to me, though that doesn’t record any more detail than HbA1c, BP and renal function. I’m not giving my password to that to anyone else.

I imagine the sharing is to act as an incentive to test rather than to advise on results, Mike - a bit like getting weighed in WW? Some people need that extra push, rather than fibbing and saying you are doing it 🙂
 
You could always record your results in a document and upload them to a location in the cloud to which you both have access.

I hope it proves successful and gets you into the swing of things 🙂 Welcome to the forum, by the way 🙂 We have quite a few members with long experience of diabetes, so I'm sure you'll find you have a lot in common with them, and it's not only you!
 
Hello Jayno and welcome 🙂

I use the mySugr app to record my blood glucose readings, there's a free version which I use or a paid for full version. The free app works fine for me and gives a record over the day , week, month and 3 month averages with a predicted HbA1c. It's easy to use plus there is a graph line on the screen. The best thing for me is the little monster on the app that giggles if your reading is in range or sounds sad if you're hypo/hyper. After 40 years of this, any little thing helps! 😉

I don't know if you can share the app with someone else.

Good luck with your recording.
 
I just write mine down in a diary what I've ate and times blood sugar readings and carbs and cals count at the bottom with any snacks a lot easier than messing about with an app I think
