Diabetes Apps

[MaryP]

Hello, all. I am a school nurse trying to find an app which a young adult with learning disabilities and autism could learn to use on his IPAD at school, to record his blood glucose levels, carbs and insulin. It needs to be fairly straightforward to use, but more aimed at teenagers and young adults than very young childen. Ideally with the facility to share the information with parents at home. Ive looked at a few but would appreciate any recommendations.Thanks!

Hi MaryP and welcome to the forum. I don’t have any experience of this type of app, but a quick search found this one https://mysugr.com/apps/pro/ There is a list of some of the apps available at https://www.diabetes.co.uk/blog/2015/07/diabetes-pa-and-the-ten-best-diabetes-apps-available/

I hope you find one that suits what you are looking for.

Well done Mary P "Gold star ! Hope it gets sorted for him. A freestyle Libre could be used by staff without him knowing 😉

Does this person have a mobile phone at all? I have a Samsung that has an app for recording blood sugar, insulin taken etc that takes averages of the day and also the last week, I use it all the time xx

I use the MySugr app. Only the free version. I find it easy to use. Results can be downloaded and shared. And the full version I believe has better sharing options.
