The mySugr – Diabetes Tracker Log app allows you to record your blood glucose levels throughout the day and, using these values, it calculates an estimated HbA1c after 7 days. It also allows you to record other information such as carbohydrate consumption, body weight, physical activity, blood pressure, ketones, medicines and insulin doses.

The app uses a 'monster friend' and a reward system to make it fun and entertaining and to encourage positive habits (such as recording your insulin dose).There are additional activity challenges that you can sign up to.

There is also a mySugr Coach, which is available on the monthly subscription, where you can ask specific questions about your diabetes. The questions are answered by a diabetes educator who can review your data and offer solutions based on your goals and query.
