Also about the Medtronics, you can not just download this software, you have to leave contact info so a SALESMAN can call you. Why not put a reasonable price on it and let users buy it without the hassle.

This is a pain. I have a Wave Sense Presto which has resonably priced strips, due to limited insurance coverage I can not afford expensive ones. The Wavesense software will not install on my PC, can’t figure out why, can’t seem to get any help. Would really like to use my Mac to manage this anyways, but no ones software seems to support Wave Sense, all of my meters have a mini-usb connector, how hard could it be to put some kind of chip in them so that they are Plug and Play, so that you plug it in and any computer can recognize and at least download the basics, so I at least do not have to type the info in to my Excel sheet on my Mac?

I was told by a Medtronics rep the Mac version would be released this month (December 2010) The thing you have to remember is the FDA has to approve the software…

Y’know, as a newly-diagnosed Type 2 sufferer, I was so excited to find a freeware program for my Mac, Diabetes Logbook X , but then when I clicked on “User Settings”, nothing happened. I sent them an email, but they never replied.
Your mileage may vary, of course.

for those who haven’t tried it, I would again put it out there that VM Ware fusion (on sale for < $50 at macmall this week)+ a cheap copy of windows XP from ebay will run all the D-software you need, right in your mac, w/o needing reboot. Much cheaper than a standalone windows computer, and integrated into the computer you already use, so you can export all the data/graphs any way you like. Sure, native support is the dream, but in the meantime, this is a very good solution. And, in the larger scheme of d-management costs, not too expensive.

One app I use a lot that will work on Iphone/Itouch is “Go Meals”. Great for carb counting. It’s made by Calorie King and Sanvo Aventis, and has a lot of restraurant in it also as well as grocery store food. I can access the Carelink website from my mac to view info in Develop mode but won’t upload data.

Thanks so much for detailing all of these Amy – appreciate it! I still want to directly link my daughter’s OmniPod PDM to my beautiful, competent Mac, without any other programs. I REALLY don’t want to buy a computer just for Windows. I’ve already lodged a request with Insulet, here’s hoping they hear the tons of us out here who need Mac-compatible PDMs.
