Mobility Site - View Single Post - looking for database software w/plotting capabilities

02-20-06, 11:29 AM

Hi all,

I've been looking at various software solutions for diabetics and haven't found anything that I really like that's not also really expensive. I need something that will allow datalogging while on the go, syncing capabilities so I can send files to my doctor, and a comprehensive nutrition database so that I can see how much I'm eating. (Diabetes Pilot is good because it has a desktop version, but to get both PC and PPC versions is expensive).

As I can't find much already developed software that I like, I'm thinking about creating my own using database software. I downloaded a trial of HanDBase, and within 5 mins had something functional, if not very primitive, for logging glucose level, carb intake, etc.

However, I don't think HanDBase has plotting capabilities, which is an important component of monitoring for me, as it allows me to see where glugose levels have been and whether I need to have tighter control or not.

Thus my question: Does database software exist for the Pocket PC that will allow me to plot/graph data based on some filter I specify?

I really hope so. :)

Thanks,
Phillip
