The mySugr app saves blood glucose readings and eliminates needing a physical logbook. People with an Accu-Chek Guide meter or Accu-Chek Guide Me meter can sync their glucose readings to the diabetes tracker log in the app.

In addition to glucose readings, users can log other health data on mySugr — like insulin dosages, meals and diabetes medications.
