New BJ ll owner. Moving from Palm

[Guest magnuman]

Hi everyone,

want to say Hi to all of you and thank you for your posts. I just moved to WM6 yesterday and I was al little dissapointed at how UNfriendly it seems after using Palm for almost 10 years. NOW I am looking for software to track my diabetes log book and all the software I find online is not written for WM6! and will not install so for now I'm stuck using Excel. Do any of you have any Ideas ...Suggestions.. or Hacks.. to make older software work?

Thanks ...Jim

Even if the software is not written for windows mobile 6, it should still work on your device. I have software on mine that I have never updated from win 5.

I used to be a long time palm user like yourself, since the first ones on US Robotics, but have now been a win 5/6 user for some time now. Once you get used to it, you will never look back at Palm. Now when i use palm it feels so archaic to me.

best of luck to you.

It is unfriendly only because you haven't unlearned how you used the Palm interface. Think how you use your PC and it will be a little more intuitive hopefully. There is so much software out there for Windows Mobile that I am sure with just a little searching you will find one that suits you. For starters I did a simple Google search and found a couple that might you suit you fine. However the first one I read about I thought you might find the best...

SiDiary is a free Pocket PC program for managing and analyzing your diabetes data. You can track your blood glucose levels, carbs, insulin, pills ketones, blood pressure, notes etc. for the whole day on just a single screen. It suggests a bolus dose for your individual coefficients and gives graphical feedback (pie chart, line chart etc.) and several statistic parameters (highest, lowest, average, A1C etc.).

It even has a cool feature for high risk patients so that it will send SMS messages automatically for every critical level tracked with the software.

I think you will find your switch to Windows Mobile from Palm very beneficial.
