Diabetes programs for Mac computers?

LifeScan has a new download for Life Scan meters, but it
only works with PC's. In response to my enquiry, our
friends at Life Scan told me that there aren't enough of
us Mac users with diabetes to make it worth their while.
(How do they know how many diabetics have Macs?).

They are clueless.

Depends on the meter. SweetSheet is a full-featured Mac
program for uploading and analyzing data from Lifescan One
Touch II, One Touch Profile, SureStep, FastTake, and
OneTouch Ultra glucose meters. It works with virtually all
Macintosh computers and all operating systems from 7.0 to
9.1. Dates and daily events can be filtered in any
combination to plot time line glucose plots, summary
histograms, and averages for all events. This update
(Version 2.1) makes SweetSheet compatible with the new
OneTouch Ultra meter. Requires Hypercard or Hypercard
Player, the latter of which comes standard with any Mac
(often in the Apple Extras folder of the System CD).

You will need a Keyspan serial adapter for this.

I highly recommend this freeware program. Available at:

One Touch Ultra Smart If you are using the One Touch Ultra
Smart you need to instal Virtual PC and run a Windows
program on the Mac. Then you can use the Lifescan program.
If that's what you want to do you will need a Belkin FSU 103
USB converter. Also, this will only upload your meter under
system 9. Don't ask why. I'm doing this with my Mac, but I
would have been better off buying a cheap used PC just to
use the software. Would have saved me lots of wasted time
researching how to use this software on a Mac.

An excellent source and review of all software available is
posted here on this forum once a month. I cannot answer
about the Mac's, but I found a good freebee at Case-Western
University, which was free. Check it out when it is posted,
and you might find an answer you are looking for.

Really? What's the subject line?
