BgMetrics, a native OS/2 solution to track Blood Glucose readings and
dietary info has been updated.

The big news is that we have made progress in downloading information
from our first meter. The Accu-Chek Advantage is now supported and it
is believed that the Accu-Chek Easy has the same data format so we
invite users of either of these meters to begin downloading their
data into the program.

The downloader will download data from your meter, sort it, search
for duplicated information, list all new (unduplicated) records and
allow the user to update an existing record or add a new record to
the database.

The data format has changed due to the additional field of data the
downloaded information brings to the program. The change should be
transparent as the data is converted when the program starts. The
help files have also been updated and should cover most of the ground
for new users.

We have also added a food information container in preparation for
future updates. At this time it may be used as a reference for
obtaining dietary information (Calories, Protein, Carbs and Fat
values) on different food groups.

BgMetrics will... 

Track Bg readings for specific events during the day
Track meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks)
Track Calories, Protein, Carbs and Fat values for each meal
Track user weight
Track appointments and reminders
Graph Bg readings, carbs and weight for any date range.
Print Bg and meal reports and graphs
Download data from supported glucometers

The reports will...

Track Maximum, Minimum and overall average of Bg readings
Track daily total "carbs"
Track Maximum and Minimum Calories, Protein, Carbs, Fat and Weight
values

BgMetrics is not for sale at this time but we want anyone that has a need for it
to use it and not be concerned about having to purchase it in the future. We
have made a huge investment in time and effort on this project but are not
looking at it as a profit making endeavor. Our motives are only to bring a
program to OS/2 that fills a selfish need for it's developer and also to other
OS/2 users.

Please stop by the PillarSoft web site at:

  http://www.pillarsoft.net 

and download the latest version. While you are there, drop us a line
and let us know what meters you use and if you can find any
information on the protocol needed to access it.
