Can anyone recommend an app where I could track my daughters blood sugar levels and info regarding them? Is there even such a thing?

bumping this back to page one. I've not found an ap I like so I keep my info in a small notebook.
Shortcomings I've run across are lack of flexibility in testing intervals so you can have random checks. I'm having trouble telling a hot flash from a crash so I test more than just mealtimes. SOme of them don't allow enough space for notes about things that might have affected the reading.
And I admit to not liking having to enter my numbers in the ap. I'd LOVE to get a meter/ap interface where my meter can sync with the ap.

This isn't an app, per se, but an online database app. This might be your best bet for now.

We are new to this, and needing the note capabilities. Sync would be nice, hadn't even considered that.

I'm intrigued by that meter that connects to your smart phone. I wonder what the strips are like? And do military pharmacies carry them. Meters are cheap--it's the strips that will bankrupt you. I test 5-8 times a day, more if it's a rough day. I wonder how much blood they need. I really like my current meter because the strips that these little pointy things on the edges that catch the blood, and it doesn't take much. I have a drawer that I keep my meter in at home and it's just so much easier than to use the strips with the blood draw on the end.
My old meter was a really good one and the endo would hook it up to the computer and it would make these great graphs and such. My current dr doesn't use that, so I go with the meter with the strips that I like. No way am I entering all my numbers by hand, though. I already have to chart them for the dr, which is a PITA. There has to be an easier way that isn't so expensive! Maybe this new meter is the answer.

Marking my spot. Just this morning, I was looking in the Google Play Store for an app to track my numbers hoping it would keep me more accountable. There are multiple apps available, most with 4-5 star ratings.

When I was doing MDI, I tracked using My Sugr. I also have the OneTouch Verio Sync which bluetooths to my iPhone, but I still like the My Sugr app better. What I now currently do is sync up my meter, Dexcom and pump (using USB cables) to Diasend.com. My doctor has the login, so he can see all my data and make adjustments if needed. I've been dealing with diabetes and the technology that goes with it for a long time, so feel free to ask me any questions

Another vote for my Sugr. They care enough to update the app often. I'm not sure how old your daughter is but they also make my Sugr Junior for kids. Glucose Companion and Blood Pal were decent apps when I was using it couple years ago. I'm not testing as much now so I'm not using my apps right now, just writing down in a small notebook. It might be a PITA but you should try several apps for couple weeks to see what works for you. Some apps have great graphs and/or set up so that you can email yourself results (or even a chart), others have great reminders or extras.

We have used Diabetes 360. There is a free and paid version when DS was on shots. His pump keeps track of it now and like a previous poster said, we upload to his endo if we need help or are headed in for a quarterly appointment.
