[Diabetes-Talk] meters

And just to clarify, I don't use Diasend to transfer any reports directly
through its service to my endocrinologist. I print the reports on my local
computer from the Diasend website and hand them to my doctor. So it doesn't
matter whether your doctor has the Diasend service or not for you to be able
to take advantage of it provided your meter is compatible with its service.

Hi all,

Not all providers have this system and I was never able to upload to my
provider any results. Ask your provider if they have access to this option
as it certainly is easier than creating spread sheets.

Hi Sheila ,

The diasendR solution provides easy uploading of information from most
glucose meters, insulin pumps, CGMs (continuous glucose monitoring) and
mobile apps. The diasendR solution consolidates and presents your
information in clear and structured reports. The above statement came from
this website:

https://support.diasend.com/hc/en-us/articles/211990605-What-is-diasend-

I refuse to manually keep records of glucose meter scores, etc. when that
information is already housed in an electronic device that can be uploaded
somewhere that allows me to produce the reports I need for my doctor. I set
up an account with Diasend and upload my Tandem T:Slim X2 insulin pump
readings as well as my Prodigy Autocode glucose meter readings using the
Diasend Uploader software and can produce the needed reports. I usually just
print a report containing readings from the prior two weeks and hand it to
my doctor when I visit every three months.
