Goldilocks would say "Just about right!" – DiabetesConnect Review

I have just started using Diabetes Connect and find that it provides almost exactly what I need in the way of tracking (input) as well as reporting (output). After researching BG apps and trying/buying several, I've found that most are either focused on far too many details about food, exercise, or other stats which this app allows me to easily summarize OR they fail to provide any tracking of those other activities at all. Diabetes Connect is like Goldilocks said, "Just right!" I can also track my oral diabetes meds and insulin injections as well as weight, blood pressure, etc. in an easy list-format diary. I was glad to pay for 30 days of premium service for additional capabilities and flexibility. At this point I have three suggestions: 1. Increasingly, diabetics track protein and fat intake for each meal or snack in addition to carbs. Many of us are not just on low-carb diets but follow high protein diets like Atkins or paleo and need to track all three key nutrient components of what we eat - not just carbs. But, whatever you do, please don't add a silly "foods database" that makes this beautiful app overly complicated. Most diabetics just want to track these three key components of their food - not every vitamin, mineral, and possible portion size! 2. I would like to suggest a couple of labels in addition to those provided. I appreciate being able to label my BG measurements as pre- or post-meal. I would also like to be able to tag the type of meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack) in the "meal" data entered before or after the BG readings. 3. For now I'm satisfied to export my data in csv format and create charts and graphs to compare my patterns of meals, carbs, blood glucose, meds, etc. It would be helpful if eventually the app had additional capabilities to do this from the "graph" menu item so I could take a quick glance at such comparisons to enable "on the fly" adjustments in meds, food, exercise, etc. This could be a big selling point for the premium service (in-app purchase) because it would add REAL VALUE by helping users actually make use of the data they are generating. Thanks for a (so far) great app. Best Wishes
