Glucose tracker app: a home log in mmol/L or mg/dL
Free printable blood sugar log (PDF)
A glucose tracker app stores readings from a meter you already own. It does not prick a finger, and it is not a continuous glucose monitor. Blood Snap is a free diary for those numbers, next to blood pressure and weight if you log those too.
What to record
- The glucose value, in the unit you chose (mmol/L or mg/dL).
- Context: fasting, before meal, after meal, or bedtime.
- The time. A number without a time is hard to discuss later.
Day-to-day logging is separate from an A1C lab test. See A1C vs a home glucose log and how to log blood sugar at home.
Meter first, app second
Use your glucometer, including Accu-Chek or Contour, the way its manual describes. Then enter the number or snap the display and confirm it before save. Bluetooth is optional and often the step that fails; the diary still works when you type. Related: Accu-Chek without Bluetooth.
Paper sheet or the app
A short paper run fits on the free blood sugar chart printable. When you want reminders and a PDF of more than two weeks, use the blood sugar tracker app. Charts show values you logged. They are not a diagnosis.
