FAQ: Meter support
23/09/2006 10:56 Filed in: FAQs
We use the OneTouch UltraSmart, plus a couple of
Ultras. There are two programs that support upload,
at least for the OneTouch meters: HealthEngage
Diabetes and The Body Journal. I tried both many
times, especially after we got the UltraSmart. The
Body Journal is a general medical program and it only
downloads the glucose events from the meter.
HealthEngage Diabetes downloads all events (if I
recall) from the meter. But, for us, the reports
didn't meet our needs.
I did try using the OneTouch software within a virtual PC on our Mac: it worked well, but again the reports weren't what we wanted - and there was so much white space I couldn't bring myself to use that much paper.
My wife now only uses the UltraSmart for glucose, with insulin events added when we are away from home. As for adding meter support, I'm not that smart, just a Dad trying to help my boy. I'd love to support meters, but it might not happen.
