[Diabetes-talk] Accessible app to record blood sugars

[Tara M. Carty]

Hello everyone: I used to use Glucose Buddy or GB to log my blood sugars. It 
was about 90% accessible but it was simple to use, time stamped and my doc 
liked it. After I upgraded to IOS 8, the app will no longer work with voice 
over. I have emailed the company with no response and am now looking for 
another accessible sugar log. Any thoughts?
Thank you,
Tara
