bant - Simplifying diabetes App Reviews

Although this is aimed at young people, I think fellow adult diabetics in the geek crowd will find it more appealing than writing notes in a paper logbook.

Very innovative interface, particularly the way you enter data. Some important shortcomings though, for example: - Not easy to enter large amount of historical data - Trends are only for 7 and 14 days. 3 months should also be there - Should include other types of graphs

This is a fantastic app! Finally an easy way for people to record and store blood glucose readings on the go.

Great app. Simple yet very useful. Input can be hard when entering past values though but I suggest that you use it by entering values as you get them as doing so allows you to use the current time line to align the readings time on it. The fact that data is synchronised to google health also opens up many possibilities of usage beyond this app. I have to say that this app has helped restore my interest in my averages and results and does motivate me to take a better look at my results.

Have been using this for almost 2 months now. It is, simply put, great. Simple, easy interface for inputting data, great visuals for reviewing and analyzing how Im doing. Easy to set up and use. Thanks

I dont particularly like this app as opposed to Si Diary. Too many shortcomings and I dont very much like the interface either. Best app I found to date for diabetes control is Si Diary by Sinovo.

great tool. easy to use and easy to see data.

Good tool and easy to use

Great app to keep track of glucose levels.

Thanks

As soon as I upgraded my iPhone 5S to IOS10, the syncing function with MS Health stopped working and gives an error message instead. This app needs updating.

After upgrading to iPhone v10 the Bant appt produces an error when and will not sync with MS Healthvault. MS Support says issue is with Bant. Bant Support does not appear to exist, at least they never respond to any queries on the issue.

This is an amazing App. Extremely well done graphics very intuitive and OMG I can share my results within my support group. AND its free. Thank you. Great job!!!

As a type 2 diabetic, Ive already tried and discarded many diabetic log apps. This one is the worst of all. The interface is difficult to use and even worse to figure out. You cannot limit testing to just breakfast, lunch, dinner and bedtime. Entering readings is nearly impossible along with the time of day. No documentation means it is impossible to synchronize with Google Health. It may be free but that only means it aint worth nothing...

Nice that its free, but very difficult to accurately drop the data marker in the right place. Also, you can only input data for meal times and I check at other times of the day, also. Nice that you can send data to Google Health account, thought. A couple of interface tweaks would vastly improve this app.

This looked like it was going to be a pretty good app I liked the graphics ....but I Keep a different schedule only imput is from 9.am. to 9 p.m. and you cant add Random or Fasting samples just B/L/D not ever gonna work for me very hard to get the time and Glucose levels input in the correct area Instructions would be helpful too!

This is the only diabetes app (or any medical app for that matter), that stores your data to a real PHR - Google Health. Great work! Wheres HealthVault though? Like the new ability to set your own context to anything you want. Love the twitter integration - all my diabetes friends are there! Im not sure what Daiysed is taking about below - unless hes using an old version.

Too simplified, doesnt give you the option to enter random bg. And who would share their bgs on Twitter or store them at google health? There are many good apps to track your blood glucose levels so my advice is to skip this one...

I dont know what everyone else here is complaining about... 1. You can customize as many categories as you want, such as Pre-Lunch, Post-Lunch, Other, Fasting. You can set as many of these as you want. 2. it is very easy to place the dot. What you do is slide around until you find your number, then pause there for a few seconds and it will lock it in. You DO NOT have to let go at just the right spot. If it is wrong (which seems rare for me) you can just touch it and move it again. My only complaints are that (1) the X and Y axes of the graph are flipped compared to most blood sugar graphs. From left to right you have the reading, and up and down is time of day. If there was an option to change that so that it could be shown either way this would be a 5 star app! (2) Daily/Weekly/monthly overlay (by time) graphs would be nice too. Lastly, (3) Id like not only a % in range but a % above and % below. Just more information. FANTASTIC app overall. Great job! Keep up the great work!

Let me start with this statement. This app has potential. I absolutely love the fact the blood sugars are sent to my google health profile. My endo can see my blood sugars in near real-time! Now lets get down to brass tax. The interface can be infuriating. I want to be able to graphically see where my blood sugars are, but not have to place them graphically. An option to add blood sugars with using the telephone layout keypad would provide a fast entry solution. I would like to be able to send my insulin intake to google health. please add support for this. additionally, i would like to be able to log my carb intake. Granted, i know, there are many other apps out there that do things similar to what i am describing. I have used them and have only found one that does most of these. This app would be the best because of the google health integration!
