Glucose Monsters is the new software for iPhone and iPod Touch that helps you keep track of your glucose levels, blood pressure and weight.

- Its easy and fast to use.
- Provides useful information: Monitors changes on weight, and displays minimum, average and maximum values of glucose for week, month and year.
- Visual Information: Rotate your device in the statistics screen to see a graph of your glucose levels (available per week, month and year).
- Logs: Every record is kept so you can review it or show it to your health care team.
- Fun and rewarding: Unlike any other software of its genre, its fun! Our Glucose Monsters will cheer you up and share a tip every time you add a new entry.


Glucose Monsters is more than just keeping records of glucose measures. It can keep track of weight and blood pressure measurements but its also about doing it efficiently (move the slider, click add and youre done) and doing it in a way that is rewarding. The graphs, the statistics, the slick interface and our monsters are there with the purpose of giving you positive feedback and ways to notice if you are taking enough care of the disease or not. We want you to shift from a "Im doing it wrong" attitude to a "Ive been doing it right" or "I can and I want to do it better" one.

You havent used anything like this before!







NOTE:
Blood glucose monitoring is patients responsibility only. This software is delivered without any guarantees or responsibility.

Pros and cons of Glucose Monsters app for iPhone and iPad

Glucose Monsters app good for

This app has amazing potential to help those trying to track trends and monitor their health. There are a few elements that need to be refined like an option for lbs., pulse rate, and the ability to export the data, but the design and thoughtfulness in the execution of the app counter-balance the "first-release" refinements that will no doubt be addressed. I cant wait to see the iPad version and hope that blood pressure, weight and blood sugar will all make it onto one "quick-screen" entry. Bravo Sr. Zarte for the simplicity and effectiveness of your app.
I decided to take another look at app and discovered I could change to pounds in the tool box and I am really enjoying now. It is working great

Some bad moments

So far, after just getting it, I noticed these things: BP can only be logged in increments of 10. Blood sugar screen with scroll bar sometimes does not go as high as I need it to. Cannot edit, only delete all entries. The arrows to get to different sections to add info do not respond very well. Otherwise I love the idea as it is exactly what I wanted to keep track of, BP and sugar mostly. But when you cant put in your exact BP numbers and it is difficult to get it to switch screens and respond when you touch the arrows...kinda frustrating so far.
