DiabeticDiary

An easy way to record daily data about diabetes

An Android app for recording data about your diabetes, then displaying that data in a helpful way.

Think of it as a software version of the paper diaries your diabetic specialist used to hand out to you.

NOTE

This app is currently written by and for British diabetics following a DAFNE-like regime. As such, it uses the following units and conventions:-

Blood Glucose (BG) readings are in mmol/L (millimols per litre). A normal reading would be between 5.0 and 7.0; hypoglycaemia is a reading below 4.5, and a hyperglycaemic event would be above 8.0.
Food containing Carbohydrate or other human-digestible sugars and polysaccharides is measured in Carbohydrate Portions (CP). 1CP = 10g of sugar or carbohydrate.
The app is designed to work with a DAFNE-style dosage regime;
- the diabetic using the app is expected to follow a basal-bolus system,
- using injections of Quick-Acting insulin which last approximately 4 hours,
- and a daily injection Background Insulin which lasts approximately 24 hours.
Ketone (KT) readings are also in mmol/L.
All times are in a 24-hour format.
All dates follow the day/month/year pattern, but are often labelled with short month names (eg January = Jan), and in some cases the day of the week.

THIS APP IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY, AND IS NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR REAL MEDICAL ADVICE.
IT MUST ONLY BE USED BY DIABETICS ALREADY EXPERIENCED IN MANAGING THEIR CONDITION MANUALLY, 
AND ONLY THEN AS A MEMORY AID TO THEIR EXISTING TRAINING.
I ACCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY WHATSOEVER FOR ANY INJURY RESULTING FROM EITHER MISUSE OF THE APP,
OR MALFUNCTIONING OF THE SOFTWARE.
THIS APP IS ALPHA QUALITY SOFTWARE, AND SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON FOR MEDICAL DIRECTION.
