Vital improvements can be made to patients diabetes control, by ensuring a recent blood glucose history is available to their Specialist Nurse.

The GlucoLog Lite app records all test results so that patients will always have their glucose history at consultations, enabling analysis of the effectiveness of their treatment.  Important decisions can be made to help avoid the sometimes devastating long term complications of diabetes.
