Well there's a lot to check out here. Thanks for the thread and the links.

I did a search a while ago too. I was specifically interested in Open Source, or Freeware, and whilst I did come up with a lot, the one I downloaded and installed is called cron-o-meter. It's download URL is CRON-O-Meter

It looks like it is ideal for people exercising, dieting, and those who have diabetes and/or hypertension. And they have Windoze, Linux, and Mac versions too. Yep, it's free! Like all good things

But to be honest, I haven't used it at all. Reason is I am trying to wean myself off of sitting behind the computer all day. It's that sedentary life-style which made me put on the kilo's in the first place, which led to hypertension, and now the D Dx.

So instead I use a plain spiral bound book, and a supplementary book the CDE has given me [she only wants to know the BG readings], and my spiral bound record's are cluttered with other measurements including BG, BP, Weight, Waist Circum., Food's I have eaten at mealtimes, food weights, day's temperature, etc.. Whenever I need to chart something I just open up Calc of Open Office. Also Open Source and free, and better charts than MS Excel 2010 Beta.

I thought I would follow up on my earlier post. I now have the Google Nexus One android based phone. The phone is really great btw.

The ontrack software I mentioned before is available through the Android Market app and is free. I believe it will work on any Android based phone.

The software does the basics of collecting sugar, food, medication, exercise and weight info. Then you can display it in a variety of graphs and reports. Its all the essential data collecting and reporting that I need.

Having it on my phone has made a real difference in my control. I'd even call it fun.
