Glooko MeterSync Blue and mySugr Importer are two new ways to simplify your glucose data management. Glooko MeterSync Blue combines hardware and software, while mySugr Importer is an app (software only). They both sync with smartphones to develop reports and help understand diabetes control patterns.

The Glooko App
Once you are able to sync the meter and phone, you can add details, including whether it is pre- or post-meal, the number of units and type of insulin, etc. The information becomes part of your profile, which can then be shared via a companion app that your doctor installs on his or her phone or tablet.

Setting Reminders, Reporting Capabilities
The Glooko app also allows you to set medication and testing reminders and provides powerful reporting capabilities via graphs and pie charts. The images show the same report as both a pie chart (left) and bar graph (right). For faxing, the Glooko can generate PDFs, and you can customize the information included on the fax.

mySugr Importer
mySugr’s new app, Importer, when paired with certain glucose meters, allows you to use your iPhone camera to read your blood glucose results directly off your glucometer screen and then upload the results to the mySugr Logbook app. As an example, using the Freestyle Precision Neo, a new meter from Abbott, you should see an orange outline of the shape of its screen. When Importer “understands” the reading, the dotted orange line becomes solid and the both the results and the time taken are captured and translated into a small flag icon on the bottom of the app on your phone.

Managing Results
To create reports and enter more details, use the Logbook features. sIn order to do so, select Open in Logbook and enter pertinent information on insulin, carbs, time of day, etc. just as you could with Glooko. This screenshot shows how several days’ worth of readings created with Importer look in the Logbook app. mySugr has just released Logbook version 3.0. It is a significant upgrade. Not only is it visually appealing and critical to understanding how you are managing your diabetes, but it integrates seamlessly with Importer, as well as their new mySugr Quiz app and their powerful reporting capabilities.
