Hey there peeps! just enquiring if there is any good (freeware/shareware) based mac programs to help type 1 diabetes monitoring etcā¦ i have always hated my log books and am always on the laptop so kill two birds with one stone?!
Thanks manny, my only issue is that something not internet based is probably better for me :(ā¦ as i dont have internet 24/7ā¦ But i should give it a try at least right ;)? x
There is also piece of software I am developing. Release will be around 4th April this year, but if you wanted to test it out I can send it to youā¦ I have been asking for some help in Geek group, but so far no repliesā¦ Itās in Java, so you need to have 1.6 java installedā¦ I am still working on carb counting functionalityā¦
Do a search for ādiabetesā at sourceforge.net Itās all open-source software, and while most may be for Linux there are lots that are ported for the Mac (and Windows, ech!). Good luck!
I forgot to mention that if you have an Intel based Mac, then you can try my advice from another post:
You can try a Windows emulator or Virtual Machine and not have to dual boot. Have a look at http://www.kju-app.org/kju/ (which is free) or http://www.codeweavers.com/ (which is $60, but has a 30 day free trial). Hope this helps!
Iāve been using Fusion to run the One Touch software because I wanted to be able to upload from my meter (thereās a USB cable from them, too, one of the reasons I use a OneTouch). But seeing as youāll need to get a copy of Fusion and Windows XP, itāll be pretty expensive if you donāt need it for anything else.
I used Diabetes Logbook for a while. Itās the best thing to use if you donāt mind manual entry.
I just wanted to let you know that software I am working on, had a release (first public)ā¦ Software is in java, so it should work with mac at least I hope soā¦ I havenāt done any special testing on mac though. Itās currently just basic stuff, data entries, carb counting. We added Meter Tool to this release, but it has only support for Ascensia meters so far, we plan on add more by next releaseā¦ Also we plan on add some basic support for Pumps and CGMS.
After I have seen your message in february, I advised all developers to force Eclipse to set java to 1.5 so source code is in 1.5 and all libraries are also compiled for 1.5. Which means that you should be able to run it without any problem.
