Glooko - Track Diabetes Data

Great insight but tracking your readings and showing patterns. The fact it can sync with Fitbit and my meter is great. Big problem though in that it won't Auto sync with my meter. It says it does, and it is set to do so, but when my meter syncs to my phone the app never updated to the latest readings. It only does so if I choose the Manual Sync option while my meter is sending readings to the phone. Nice that my doctor can access the readings though.

I have been using the Contour One meter for about 3 months and that app was terrible. Found Glooko and love it. I was able to pair my meter with the app, SUPER FAST. Sync the data, again SUPER FAST! My only complaint is I don't see any option to change the color scheme. It is very difficult to see the light green on the white background. Plus I don't see an option to manually add glucose readings. If these can be added, the app will be PERFECT!

I like that I have everything in one place. However, the app freezes frequently. Also it would be nice if you could scan food in instead of searching for it. Sometimes the search works and sometimes it doesnt. I have also noticed, while it brings blood sugar ratings from the g6, it does not bring over insulin doses.

This app has lots of features, but it's buggy and slow. It's the only app that syncs omnipod data and daughter's endocrinologist basically requires that we use it. But it's very hard to find food history to see how to adjust dosing. Food items in the database do odd things when you change serving sizes. Syncing is largely unreliable and often comes a couple of days late. With all of Insulet's money behind this app, I'd expect it to be lots better.

This app is so easy to setup and use. I have the FreeStyle and my Glooko bluetooth adapter plugs right the side of my meter. It down loaded all of my readings since my initial measurement. All I had to do is tag which readings were before meals and after meals. The capability to make reports is very helpful too. The app gives daily average, daily average before meals and daily average after meals. It tells how many high and how many low readings. You can choose how many weeks for averages

Edit: my meter is new, only a few months old. And in 2012 you had the premier meter line listed as compatible, but now it's not. Why would you remove it? Can't use it. I have one of the most popular Bluetooth meters out there and it's not supported. Can't put in manual readings, so it's basically a brick on my phone. Not worth the time to download.

I am enjoying the app. The ability to log all of my information automatically is very helpful. However, for one reason or another, the app wants to log my data for an hour before it was actually read. Ex: If the actual time was 2pm and I logged my blood sugar, it would appear as 1pm instead. I hope this can be fixed or I can be shown a way to calibrate the timing appropriately.

Stopped syncing over a week ago for no apparent reason leaving me with data on my phone that won't transfer to the cloud. The worst part is that if you enter in certain items and their corresponding carbs in grams and then alter the time for the meal, the app will randomly change the amount of carbs. Many times, I have caught this just in times. If I hadn't, I would have taken too much insulin. Clearly a dangerous thing to do.

With this (FREE FOR LIFETIME) app and a $20.00 meter from walmart, my diabetic team is blown away with the information they get. We are working on the sharing with medical team aspect. Then it will be the next best thing to CGM. You still have to prick your fingers for readings, but it goes in automatically via Bluetooth. There is not even a way to add, edit or delete readings!! And look at all the things you can track in this (FREE) app: exercise, A1c, weight, foods, blood pressure, meds, etc

Overall this is the best app I've tried for my recently diagnosed type 1 two year old. It allows us to keep all the important data in one place. The best thing I like about the app is the food search engine with a barcode scanner. It makes adding up carbs more convenient. One improvement would be manual entry and delete of glucose readings. Sometimes we get erroneous readings or test our own sugars to encourage the child. Otherwise those is a great app!

I have had trouble keeping this meter connected to my phone. I have had to uninstall and reinstall a multitude of times with each time resulting in it disconnecting within several days. I have contacted the company and they reassured me a updated app was going to be available "very soon"! After waiting several months there is still no updated app to fix this issue. The girl told me there have been several people having the same problem. And still no updated app. Do better glooko! DO BETTER!

This is a great app. It is intuitive to use. No need for an instruction manual. It takes the datafrom your glucometer automatically. Just turn on glucometer with the app open. customize your app to include insulin dose, any other meds, when you start a meal, when you finish, exercise and how you feel. The app keeps track of info and calculates your average before and after meal BG, percentage of highs, lows and average BG. It compares across weeks. Much more besides. Get it. It's great!

The app was updated after my first review in May 2019 and working fine, but the new update 9/8/22 is is not . The screen is too large and now when you add food and want to add other information like insulin, medication, weight, those selection are no longer at the top to choose. You have to save then go back to add for the other information you want to add for each option. Make the screen adjustable for the customer and add back the option at the top.

Awesome App!!! For me, it was definitely worth paying $35 for the Bluetooth Kit. Some feedback for the App Development Team... 1) Integrate weight tracking. Add a field for weight, similar to the exercise and medication fields. Add a graph to display our weight over time. 2) Add setting to Android App to increase the Font Size. I need to use a magnifier to use the App. 3) Add our glucose readings to the logbook daily details below the chart. Right now, they are only in the chart.

Paired easily with my phone. Love that I can set reminders for lots of things. Love that it helps keep track of foods. My previous foods seem to glitch and flicker, making it hard to select an item I already have entered previously. I also don't understand the carb and calorie section. Is it a countdown of my intake, or is it adding from the start of my entries for the day? It never seems to match either, so I'm not sure of my carb, calorie intake per day. Otherwise, it's a very useful app!

the app is a massive battery hog. since installing it, my battery life is half of what it used to be, and background usage is required for the meter sync to function. the app prevents the phone from going to sleep. I used to go all day and use less than 40% battery, now I'm using 60-80% every day. if this app wasn't required to sync my meter, I'd uninstall it.

Great app... but... There are issues. I had to create a new account because my data would not load properly. One thing this app needs is a way to delete your data without deleting your account. I created a new account with a new email and boom resynced my meter and everything was back as it was (sorta). Lost 2 stars over this episode. TBH I'm hedging about continuing on with Glooko. Seriously considering mysugr, we'll see.
