I'm running boot camp solely to upload the meter data, and then can access the data from the mac side via safari and a user agent set to firefox/windows - no problems so far (technique was covered in an earlier post by Geo (Neo?) - can't remember, but its a great trick...

Geekiness started with a TRS-80 in 5th or 6th grade, but slowed down in high school...

Lifescan isnt going to bother with Mac software last i heard, ever think of going down the dreaded V path (Virtualization)
.... Supposedly many USB devices are compatible with Boot Camp... or Parellels/Virtualbox

Hello All. I am new to tudiabetes.com. I can say this is the most informative website I have found yet. I have been working in the computer field for the past 8 yrs. I only have two certs at this time, A+ and Network+. I have taken courses in college for a BS in computer science and classes for MCSE, Security+, and CCNA. Only reason I haven't gotten completely certified is I ran out of $$. Paying the bills and putting food in my families mouth was a lot more important at the time. Right now I'm laid off from a sweet network engineering due to the fall in the economy.

Hey all, new here (and new to diabetes). Most my certs are in pentesting but right now I am managing a enterprise information systems risk management program.

Anyway, has anyone come across any options for tracking their data (glucose, exercise, diet) on a blackberry? I came across HealthEngage and am evaluating that on a iPAQ but dont want to go all inspector gadget with multiple gadgets. I also like that that software runs on my powerbook and dell laptops.

I have the onetouch ultrasmart meter, and the onetouch software, but the part that falls short is the diet tracking, i need something that i can just type in foods to, and not need to know the cals/carbs/etc..

TIA!

Anyone successful with any Mac apps that will take a couple of Life Scan One Touch meters and merge data - like Life Scan's own software. I recently had my doctor print out reports and it was way cool - gotta have it, but I am not Windows.

I am a total geek. Aspergers Syndrome. Say no more:). My son has type 1 and if this thing could be beat by "out-thinking" it . . . I think this is the group to join! Oh, for a cure . . . .

Here is my short geek check: met the good old Apple IIe in 8th grade, was stunned by the CPC464 of a friend, coded the C64 in basic and then the Amiga 500/2000 in assembler, got my first 486DX-50 in 1991 that sounded like darth vader with asthma, studied Information Systems and now I work as a consultant and software developer with great passion for web related technologies.
