I am Microsoftie 4 ever (18+ years) working in Windows Services and Content team in the UK, my blog is mainly focused on the Windows family of products and trying to provide help pointers and resources for customers on our products.
My sister is a diabetic and when I heard about this free Windows 7 Phone app from a UK Softie (Jag Dua) it really grabbed my attention.
“Sugarwatch provides an easy t use intuitive way to record your blood glucose readings, insulin doses and activities. It provides warning indicators that show when you go beyond your ideal glucose range. Sugarwatch provides graphs that show you glucose trends over multiple days to help you identify changes you can make to your regime along with graphs that show averages and glucose mapped against activities. All the graphs you need to help you self manage your condition”
Jag is very keen to continue development for further releases. Future possibilities include: the app’s integration with Microsoft HealthVault; a companion website that will enable richer statistics; and a built-in service to email information straight to your GP.
The fact that Jag plans to continue its development gives Sugarwatch an advantage over similar apps that are already available but unsupported. Plus of course Sugarwatch is completely free, unlike much of the competition.
The app is out now, so head over to the Marketplace on your phone and search for SugarWatch to give it a try. And when you do, make sure you contact Jag with your feedback! He’s keen to develop the app further and would welcome your ideas.
