Any diabetic with a smartphone has suffered what I call an ?Apple moment.? You look at your glucometer. You look at your phone. And you think to yourself, ?I can use this phone as everything from a news aggregator to an email-getter to a virtual goldfish bowl. So why can?t these two devices connect? Well, here?s some good news: thanks to a new product called Glooko, they now can.
Glooko is a cable that connects iPhones, iPods and iPads to a variety of different glucose meters (you can see the list here) and automatically downloads blood glucose readings, eliminating the need for you to manually write down records. In Glooko?s app, you can add in additional information, like whether the reading was before or after a meal, how much insulin you took (and what kind) and whether there was anything else going on (like exercise, sickness, or having your period). Then you can export a file to share with your doctor or endocrinologist.
