This app is everything I was looking for! I can log all the things (sugar levels, exercise, meals, stress levels, sleep, etc.) all in one very convenient location. The carb counting feature is one of my favorite parts of the app, and I use it several times a day! My midwives love that they can get a full report of all the information they need in a convenient, easy-to-read format. For a busy Mama of a toddler, this app has been a lifesaver in managing my GDM.

It's fine for what it is, but needs to be more user friendly. My biggest complaint: the time never went off to log my glucose! I was depending solely on the app timer - won't be doing that again. One metric lost bc I didn't remember until 3 hours later. Other than that, the one line to enter text for meal description is hard to navigate if you lose your place or want to add text towards the beginning. The app just could be better.

Worked great. Luckily my gestational diabetes was controlled just through diet. The text reminders were the best. My doctor loved that he could look at the data when I printed it. Probably the only thing would be the link to the glucometer. I always had to double check the link was established. So eventually I just gave up on that- and typed my own BGs in. But if it did sync after entering your own- it would show as an additional reading; and no way to delete it

I am really enjoying the app. The meal assessment box works really well to help estimate my carbs and the ability to take a picture of my meal helps serve as a reminder to log my blood sugars. The text reminders are also nice, because notifications get so easily overlooked. Some suggestions for improvements: Dexcom continuous blood glucose compatibility, ability to chose to count net carbs instead of total, and the ability to track other macros such as protein and fats.

Great app that tracks everything I need and sends reminders to check my glucose (otherwise I'd never do it on time). My biggest complaint is that when I enter meals, the text is white against a white background so I can't see it and there's no way to change it. Also, I know it's probably AI generated but some of the meal tips are impractical like telling me to pick out vegetables from my salad to eat that first or something. Overall I love it just wish I could change display settings.

This app is super helpful tracking sugar levels. I love that you can take pics of your meals and set alarms for text message reminders to check blood sugar. My doctor's office also enjoys the printouts and emails with my numbers and meals log. I would really like this app even more if I could set my own alarm for text message instead of only selecting 1 or 2 hours. Sometimes I don't have my phone right next to me to enter meal right away, so the text reminder ends up off.
