if anyone is curious as to what I have planned for the next version of Accessible Diabetes Tracker, here is a list for you.
1. Lab A1C results.
Type in the real A1C from the doctor's office and its date. The
program shows it next to the Estimated A1C for the same time, and
lists past results so people can see whether it is going down.
2. Weight and blood pressure.
Doctors often ask about these along with diabetes. A small window to
add them, and a choice to put them in the doctor report.
3. Exercise.
Like Meals and responses, but for walks and other activity: "What
did my sugar do after I walked for 30 minutes?"
4. Questions for my next appointment.
A short list people add to over time, printed at the end of the
doctor report so nothing gets forgotten at the visit.
5. From Food lookup straight into the food log.
After looking up a food, one button adds it to the food log with its
carbs, so nobody has to type it again.
6. Favorite meals.
Save meals someone eats often ("my usual breakfast") and add them
with one choice instead of typing them every time.
7. Carbs for the day.
If entries have carbs in them, show a total for today and for each
day of the week.
8. Supplies left.
How many sensors or test strips are left, counted down when a new
sensor is put on (Sensor days left already knows), with a reminder
to reorder when only a few are left.
9. Reminders.
For example "check your sugar" or "take your medicine" at a set
time, shown as a Windows notification (the program can already do
those from the system tray). The program would only remind; it
would never tell anyone how much medicine to take.
10. A weekly summary.
Once a week, the program offers a short summary of the last 7 days:
average, time in range, lows, and how it compares to the week
before (Compare already does the math).
11. A summary to share with family.
A short, plain summary saved as a file that someone can email to a
family member or caregiver, with only the parts they choose.
12. Backups to a cloud folder.
A choice to keep a copy of the backups in a Dropbox or OneDrive
folder, in case the computer breaks.
