Good Idea, still needs some work. – Jade Insulin Dose Calc Review

I've started to mind my diabetes a bit better, so I wanted something to track pre- and post-prandial sugars and remaining insulin on board in order to fine-tune carb to insulting ratios, etc. This app does a great job helping with the record keeping and does the math for you. It even provides some coaching on what you could do different. Here are my pros and cons, and why I only gave it a 3. Pros - App works well on my iPad, with no errors - Input screens are easy to use, providing the options that you need - You are able to fine-tune many of the options to reflect your particular physiology. - Provides information on bolus dosage - great if you are using a pump Cons - Default colors are kind of hard to read, with no option to change - Many of the features in the app are provided via a pass-thru to the web site - If you aren't using a pump, you it will be recommending around 8 or more injections per day - IMHO, some of the recommendations provided by the coach could be trouble if you don't have a good understanding of diabetes and what the meds will be doing. - The app attempts to predict future BGL levels based on carbs and meds. If these were correct, I would have either been in the hospital or dead several times in the past week (multiple predictions of 600+ and 18 or less) In summary, I find the record keeping and dosing useful, and the predictive part useless. Additionally, $9.99 per month (ONLY available in 6-month blocks) to be pretty pricy. If I could have signed up for one month, I might have tried the pro version.
