Example of an app that can cheer you up and make monitoring your blood sugar easier

MySugr Diabetes Companion is one of many Apps that makes it easy to record and track your blood-sugar levels.
When you check your blood sugar, you can record your levels in MySugr. You can add emotion badges to record if you were feeling sleepy, grumpy or other things.
Cover artYou can also track what you eat through MySugr by taking photos of your food. Your results are then turned into easy-to-read graphs that document your blood-sugar levels. And when you need to show the doctor your results, you can easily print out your information right from the app.
One of my favorite features is the MySugr monster. Your daily results affect the monster, so it makes it a fun and motivational way to monitor your levels.

  • patient safety should trump all other values; corporate concerns about liability and intellectual property ownership may be valid but should not over-ride all other considerations;
  • transparency and a commitment to patient safety should govern vendor contracts;
  • institutions are duty-bound to provide ethics education to purchasers and users, and should commit publicly to standards of corporate conduct; and
  • vendors, system purchasers, and users should encourage and assist in each others’ efforts to adopt best practices.
