I have a friend who needs to inject Insulin because she has type one
diabetes.  She uses an iPhone, but would be willing to also use Android if
she can find what she hopes exists to determine when her blood sugars are
decreasing.  She currently has no warning of when this is likely to happen,
and wonders if:

1.  There are any accessible pieces of kit on the market that work with an
iOS or Android app that would help with this, and

2.  How accessible any app might be, and whether anyone is using something
they could recommend?

Please feel free to drop me a line off list that I can forward to her if you
have any suggestions or experience with such equipment and apps.  I think
Pam's difficulty is that while she can test her blood sugars, she has no way
of knowing when they are dropping until it becomes quite serious for her.

Many thanks.

Kind Regards,

Jackie Brown
