For the future:
Being quite new to the glucometer game, I don't know a whole lot about it but there are serial cable hookups and software for downloading data from many glucometers. I would like to get this working for as many as possible but I can make no promises. So far we have been able to access one glucometer but hope to include a few more when time permits. After the beating I've taken over figuring out the first one, I may have to take some time away from it just to let my head clear.
Note: The program data is currently being housed in a database that is written without the aid of a database driver. This makes it load instantly for now but when the db gets larger I am afraid it will bog down. So far I have tested it with a years worth of data and it took about 7 secs to load and 10 secs to save. There is also the future consideration of deeper relationships than are currently being implemented. If you know of a reasonable way or of a product to do a good database that will be small, fast and any user can use it without having to pay more for it, please let me know.
If you, your family or friends have to track blood sugar and are looking for an OS/2 solution, please contact us. BgMetrics is not for sale at this time. Please use it freely until the features are fleshed out and please do not worry about it becoming commercial if you cannot afford it. We will find a way to make it available to you.
