2022-06-02: Changes at CareLink Personal
Due to changes in the output format at CareLink Personal the export files from there could no longer be imported cleanly into SiDiary.
We have therefore immediately made adjustments and provided a new update so that users can import their data correctly again.
If you are affected by this, you can undo the last import in SiDiary under the menu item "Edit ->Undo" and repeat the import with the new update to SiDiary version 6.2.1345.

2021-09-30 App synchronization issue
Until 07:45 this morning, there was an app sync glitch that resulted in a message that our SSL certificate had expired. This was misleading in that the certificate was valid. However, there was a change to the issuer's root certificate that ultimately led to this message. The certificate chain could be restored, synchronization in the apps are possible again. We are very sorry for the outage and thank you for your understanding! Details

2021-04-06: SiDiary and Tidepool
With today's update we also created an import filter for files created with Tidepool-Online. If you don't know it yet: Tidepool is a nice alternative to read out your insulin pump if you don't want to use CareLink Personal or Diasend; it's worth a look: https://www.tidepool.org/.
You can then export this data into an Excel file and import it into SiDiary with the new import filter for Tidepool-Online.
Our colleague Jörg Möller likes to use it because it makes reading out his MiniMed 640G easier than with CareLink and the import looks much tidier than with a CareLink file.
Why don't you give it a try? All you need is a free account at Tidepool and a Chrome web browser.
Details2021-02-16: SiDiary and OmniPod Dash
With the last update to version 6.2.1341 SiDiary added the option to import data from the insulin pump "OmniPod Dash" into the SiDiary logbook.
You just have to connect the PDM via USB cable to the PC and choose the option "Export". In the Windows file explorer you will see the file "OmniPodDash.ibf" under "Android". This can then be copied to the PC and imported with the import filter "Insulet OmiPod Dash".
Details2020-10-30: Favorites in SiDiary even easier
With the current version 6.2.1340 you can edit your favorites list for meter/file imports in SiDiary even easier. Just click on the asterisk next to an entry of your choice in the list of measurement devices to add or remove this device to your favorites. A hint: with the button "Edit list" you can also add or remove all devices from the list at once.
This new update also includes an adjustment to the new format of data from Medtronic CareLink. So if you have a MiniMed insulin pump, you should definitely do it.

2020-09-10: Update for CareLink export file
With today's update, we are releasing an adaptation that will allow you to import the new export format of CareLink Personal. Medtronic had recently changed the format again, so that CGMS values could not be assigned correctly.
Furthermore, new blood glucose meters have been added to the list of readable devices: i-SENS Caresens Dual, i-SENS Caresens N (HID), i-SENS Caresens N Premier, i-SENS Caresens Pop (HID), i-SENS NoCoding1+, i-SENS Tee2, i-SENS Tee2+, Glucosmart Salsa Connect, Trividia TrueMetrix, Trividia TrueMetrix Air, Trividia TrueMetrix Go and Ypsomed mylife Aveo.

2020-03-30: New types of graphics: AGP and calendar
With the current version 6.2.1337 SiDiary brings you new graphic types in the statistics. You can now display the conventional AGP-graphic for the glucose profile or get a quick overview with the calendar graphic. Tip: you can also click on the calendar days.
With the practice code your doctor can give you, you can easily share your data with him in SiDiary Online, so that a printout for the next doctor visit is not necessary anymore.

2020-01-10: SiDiary 6: CGMS import simplified
With the current update from 09/01/2020 we have not only added many new blood glucose meters to SiDiary 6, but also simplified the import of files with CGMS/FGM data.
SiDiary now offers an auto-import folder for export files from CareLink, Dexcom, Eversense and Freestyle-Libre, i.e. if you put an export file from one of these devices into this folder (maybe directly while downloading this file) SiDiary will import it automatically.
Additionally SiDiary will also import it if you double click on this file. (Exception: Eversense, for this we can not offer a double click)
Details2019-11-14: Update for iOS/iPadOS: SiDiary 1.0.30
This update fixes a problem that occurred when using the SiDiary keyboard under iOS 13. You could already use the standard keyboard of iOS, but the keyboard adapted by us makes the data input more comfortable.
This is now available again and can be activated under "More ->Settings ->Keyboard" by deactivating the standard keyboard.
Details2019-11-08: SiDiary Version 6.2.1335
Maybe you have already seen it: the new version 6.2.1335 is currently available for download on our server.
Besides some minor optimizations (see changelog) new measuring devices have been connected to it: Ascensia Contour Plus, GlucoRX Nexus, Infopia Finetest Lite, Nipro 4sure One, Nipro 4sure Smart, Nipro 4sure Smart Duo, Nipro TRUEyou, Terumo Medisafe Fit und Terumo Medisafe Fit Smile. For the last two you need a Sony NFC pad on the PC to read them out. Details
2019-09-26: SiDiary Version 6.2.1334
With version 6.2.1334 a new function has been added to the selection list of the devices to be read out in addition to minor improvements and bug fixes (see Changelog).
Now you can not only make your favorites visible as before, you can also use a list of the last used devices or make a list of all devices visible with a button.
Details2019-08-21: Maintenance on our Servers
On Thursday, 08/22/2019, a maintenance job will be done on our servers between 10:00 am and 12:00 pm GMT. The service 'SiDiary Online' and the SiDiary website with the Onlineshop will not be available during this time. We apologize for any inconvenience. Details
2018-12-21: SiDiary 6.2 is ready for download
With the new major update (from version 6.1.x to 6.2.x), we have added many new evaluation options, especially for statistics. It is now possible to add further data sources to the graphic type "Glucose profile" for convenient evaluation: Carbs, Basal, Bolus, Excersise. The latter shows the percentage spread of times with and without sensors as well as the frequency and duration of times with low/very low glucose values. In addition, there is a pie chart of the glucose values in the target range ("Time in Range").
The direct print/PDF in the statistics has also been extended in such a way that the pages are optimally utilised depending on the number of graphics displayed.
And last but not least, SiDiary now also handles the new export format of LibreView.
Details
2018-11-01: mylife YpsoPump & SiDiary
With the current version 6.1.1328 of SiDiary the mylife YpsoPump can now also be read via Bluetooth.
Correspondingly, the next extension of the detailed diary is also available: the daily basal profiles are now not only displayed graphically in the diary, but also the basal rates per hour in number form. This display is now freely scalable, so that everyone can set a size that is pleasantly readable for themselves. Details
2018-09-25: Maintenance on our Servers
On Thursday, 09/27/2018, a maintenance job will be carried out on our servers between 10:00 am and 12:00 am GMT. The service 'SiDiary Online' will not be available during this time. We apologize for any inconvenience. Details
2018-09-17: New meters and basal rates import
In our current update there is again something exciting: not only that we have added two new devices (the blood pressure monitor Beurer BM55 and the BG monitor Ypsomed mylife Unio Neva), we have also started to import the basal rates programmed in the pump into our basal rate management when reading out insulin pumps.
First only for the Ypsomed mylife Omnipod, but other pumps will be added over time. Details
2018-06-20: Dana Diabecare R & SiDiary
You may have already seen it: with the current update for SiDiary it is now possible to read out the pump "IME-DC Dana Diabecare R" with SiDiary via Bluetooth.
We have described how to connect the pump to Windows in a PDF file, which you can download here:
<please click here>
This update also includes an import driver for the Accu-Chek Guide, so you can now read it without the Smart Pix software from Accu-Chek.
Also new is the import driver for the blood glucose meter MSP GlucoSmart Salsa and an import filter for the export files from the Ascensia Contour app.
Details2018-06-01: Maintenance work on our servers
On Monday, June 4, SiDiary Online and our website will be down from 10:00 to 12:00 due to server maintenance. Thank you for your understanding. Details
2018-05-24: SiDiary and Privacy Policy
As you have certainly heard in all media in the last few days, the European General Data Protection Regulation (EU-GDPR) will come into force on May 25th, 2018.
Since we have always given the highest priority to the special protection of the data entrusted to us anyway, we did not have to make any major changes. What we have had to change to comply with this regulation is our public data protection regulation and privacy policy.
To continue using "SiDiary Online" as before, your consent is required again at this point. Today, we will send an email to all users to indicate that.
All you need to do is log into your SiDiary Online account and agree to the new terms that will be displayed.
Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation.
2018-05-16: Automatic recognition of meters
With this update SiDiary can now automatically detect even more devices and provide the import more quickly. These include for example the Beurer GL44, the Fora Diamond Mini USB and the Stada Glucoresult ToGo.
In addition, the devices Acon On Call Express, Testamed GlucoCheck Advance and Menarini GlucoMen areo 2K can now also be read out directly.
Details2018-03-09: SiDiary and LibreView
Today we have good news for all users of the LibreLink app for smartphones. Since the scanned values of the Libre sensor can also be transferred to the web app "LibreView" and the data can also be exported as a CSV file, we have now also created a separate import filter for this file.
Therefore, reading out the Libre reader with the Libre software is no longer the only option to import this data into SiDiary.
Details2018-01-05: SiDiary & Meters
With the current update to version 6.1.1319, new meters have been added in addition to minor modifications. The 'Ascensia Contour Next One', 'Ascensia Contour Next Link 2.4' and the 'eu-medical easypharm-GL' can now also be read out directly with SiDiary.
So now there are two solutions for the 'Contour Next Link 2.4': either just read out the blood glucose data directly from the meter, or - as before with the import filter 'Ascensia Contour Next Link 2.4 (F)' - import the export file from CareLink with the blood glucose data and the data from the Medtronic insulin pump.
Details2017-11-28: SiDiary reads the Libre automatically!
For all those who, like us, have been annoyed that Abbott no longer allows us to read out the Libre reader directly, we have good news: with version 6.1.1318, SiDiary can now automatically take over the data from the Libre software.
How this works can be seen in this video: https://youtu.be/lugU53tzMgA
SiDiary detects a Libre-Reader if it is connected to the PC and starts the reading process through the Libre-Software. Afterwards it exports these data automatically into a file and reads it out, so that it's data can be transferred fully automatically into the logbook.
The easiest way to do this is to connect the Libre reader to the PC, then quit the automatically starting Libre software, start SiDiary and watch how SiDiary gets the data from it.If you have any problems with this, please send an email to info@sinovo.net
Details2017-11-14: World Diabetes Day 2017
Dear friends of SiDiary,
We would love to invite you all to coffee and cake for today's World Diabetes Day (which takes place every year on 14.11.), to celebrate the event and get to know each other.
Unfortunately, this would be a bit too much of a hassle, because we would have to rent a convention centre for this.
So we imagined something else and give you all a 5-Euro coupon for our online shop.
The coupon code is: WDD2017
It is valid until 21.11.2017
Subscription customers can use it, for example, to extend their licenses, because they do not lose any validity days, but simply renew the subscription for one year.
And may be the "coffee and cake" thing is also an idea for you and the people you like to be with ;-)
Best wishes,
Your SINOVO team
Details
2017-09-20: SiDiary and iOS11
Unfortunately, we have found out that under iOS11 the specially developed keyboard for entering digits can no longer handle decimal places.
Until we provide an update, you can continue working with the following workaround: please change the settings. Under' More ->Settings ->Keyboard' you can activate the standard keyboard. After that, you will no longer see the keyboard we created when you type, but the normal iOS keyboard. Details
2017-08-01: SiDiary in a new data processing center
A few weeks ago, SiDiary Online moved to new servers in a new data processing center. In this context, some adjustments were necessary, but these are now for the most part completed. We would like to thank all our users for their patience and understanding towards us at this time.
Thanks to the new servers, we are better able to meet the increased requirements due to our steadily growing user numbers, since in addition to the higher basic performance and failure security, the new servers are also scalable. In times of higher utilization, they can better intercept these load peaks.
In addition, data transmission is now carried out with the latest SSL standards and encryption methods, and it is still cryptographically encrypted during transmission. Also on the server itself all data is stored coded. In the architecture we have also stored strictly seperately personal details on the one side and health data on the other side, so that data can not be assigned by unauthorized persons - even if they could crack it.
Passwords are also irreversibly encrypted according to the best practices (keyword 1,000-fold hash code including random salt). Our system is continuously monitored by security specialists and fully automated with the latest known attacks, so that safety gaps can be detected and closed at an early stage.
SiDiary is now among the few apps that have received the Diabetes App Seal from DiaDigital, because we meet their high security standards and requirements.
With SiDiary you can be sure, that we will spare no effort to ensure the security of your personal data. For this we stand with our good name!
Details2017-07-27: SiDiary and Libre
Dear customers,
we are sorry, but the company Abbott has terminated the license agreement, which allowed us to read the data from the Libre device directly with an USB cable by using their specifications.
Please read more details on this page:
https://www.sidiary.org/freestylelibre.asp?l=en
Details
8.May 17: Move to the new data center
Last weekend the last servers were configured in the new data center and the transfer of all user accounts and all data is currently in progress. In order to ensure the consistency of the data, it is no longer possible for us to start the (emergency) system for the sync process in the old data center. After successful data transfer, we will start directly in the new data center. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding. Details
2017-05-03: Sync with SiDiary Online interrupted
Unfortunately we encountered first problems with the internet connection of our online services starting Saturday noon and massive unavailability on Sunday. Our colleagues were able to bring back the online website yesterday and we expect to get back SiDiary Online later on this Monday. We really apologize for this inconvenience and ask for your patience. Details
2017-03-21: Maintenance on our servers
On Friday, 03/24/2017, a maintenance job will be carried out on our servers between 06:00 am and 07:00 am GMT. The service 'SiDiary Online' and our website will not be available during this time. We apologize for any inconvenience. Details
2017-02-20: SiDiary, CGMS & YouTube-Channel
Especially for users with a CGMS or Freestyle Libre the current version 6.1.1312 might be interesting. It provides new graphics type 'Glucose Profile' in the statistics section, which shows the median of the CGMS values as well as the standard deviation. With this new option it is not only possible to see the magnitude of the CGMS values over the time of the day, but also how strong these values are waving or how stable the glucose development is.
You can see it in the statistic section of the PC version, if you select the entry 'Glucose Profile' in the Graphic type.
By the way: do you already know our YouTube channel? You can find videos with hints and tutorials for the SiDiary Versions for PC and Smartphone at https://www.youtube.com/user/SinovoDE. More videos will be added of course, so it is definitely worth to subscribe to this channel. Details
2016-11-18: Maintenance in SiDiary Online
On Friday, 25.11.2016, a maintenance job will be carried out on our Servers between 11:00 am and 12:00 am GMT. The service 'SiDiary Online' will not be available during this time. We apologize for any inconvenience. Details
2016-10-10: Win10 and Smart Pix Reader
Good news for all Smart Pix users with Windows 10: since the last major update, Microsoft has changed the handling for MSD (Mass Storage Devices). Since the Smart Pix was also affected by that issue, it couldn't refresh it's status message when all data was received from a meter/pump.
In collaboration with Roche we were able to implement a workaround with update to SiDiary version 6.1.1309. Though the Smart Pix internal HTML app can not benefit from that (and their devices can still not be read with it), it is now possible again to read the data with SiDiary via the Smart Pix reader like before. Details
2016-09-16: Maintenance on SiDiary Online
We're sorry, but because of a server maintenance 'SiDiary Online' is from 12:45 GMT until approximately 13:45 GMT unreachable. We apologize for any inconvenience Details
2016-09-13: SiDiary recognizes meters automatically
Since the SiDiary version 6.1.1308 there is an additional help available: the fully automatic recognition of USB2COM meters when they are connected. These meters, for which a Windows system driver had to be installed, are automatically recognized when connected to the computer by SiDiary and offered to import from it. In the first time it needs to be manually selected from the list of readable devices, but from the second time SiDiary has then learned to which meter this virtual COM port belongs. Details
2016-08-18: SiDiary and Avira
Lately we received some support requests, that when trying to read out meters, users receive error messages and what they can do about it.
We analyzed the problem and found out, that the tool 'Avira Antivirus', which is preferred by many users, is very often the reason. Avira Antivirus prevents, that a configuration file, which is strongly needed for proper operation ability, can be written by SiDiary (in a folder, which is created from and must be writable for SiDiary).We already reported this to the producers of Avira, but so far there was no change made by Avira.
To solve this matter, there are two different ways:Either you click on the 5. button from the left in the SiDiary toolbar (Download blood glucose meter/insulin pump) several times. With each new attempt there will be written more of the file, until it's completed after 3 or 4 attempts - then it will show no more error messages.
Or you can add the folder, where SiDiary stores this and other configuration and data files, to the exceptions of the antivirus program. We described the how to in an illustrated manual on this page:
https://www.sinovo.net/customerservice-faqv6-2631.asp?IDSprache=2
2016-08-09: Libre and mysugr
With today's update the direct import from Abbott Freestyle Libre in SiDiary is rounded. With the original Libre software you can add your own notes, which are then transmitted to the reader. So you can add these short texts after a scanned reading. With the update to version 1.6.1306 SiDiary reads these self-defined notes and adds them to the logbook as remarks.
Another cool new feature is aimed at users who use on their smartphone or tablet the software 'mysugr'. With the current version of SiDiary now you can also import the export files, which you can send to yourself from mysugr as a CSV file via email.
Details2016-05-19: SiDiary 6.1 available
SiDiary 6.1 is now available for all users as a free update!
With this new version we have not only introduced a new, brighter layout, but also a significant improvement of touch operations on tablet PCs with Windows operating system.
Another cool feature is the integration of CGMS- and Libre data. You can now select in the detail logbook, whether you like to see the blood glucose levels as a table like in the previous version or the curve with the CGMS- or Libre data for that day. This makes it much easier to complete the logbook and add useful details for your diabetes team.
(Of course, you can print your data also included with this new graph)
Another highlight for users of Freestyle Libre from Abbott: the data can be read with version 6.1 directly from the Libre reader into SiDiary, so that it is no longer necessary to export them first from the Libre software.

2016-05-04: Disruption of online services
Unfortunately yesterday our online Services were disturbed from noon to late evening due to a HW issue. They are available entirely since then but still under special monitoring. Details
2016-03-24: Problem with syncing finally solved

Incorrect virus alarm for SiDiary6.exe
Currently the Antivirus tools Avast, Avira and Dr. Web recognizes a non-existent threat in SiDiary (False positive alarm). So we advise our users to add SiDiary to the exceptions of this tools until we habe clarified this issue with the manufacturer of these programs.

After long weeks of intensive testing we have now also released an app for Windows Phone 8/8.1. Along with the available apps for Android and iOS we were able to add SiDiary to another operating system for modern smartphones. The Windows Phone app can also be synchronized too with an account at SiDiary Online, our cloud solution, and thus fits seamlessly into the overall system 'SiDiary'.

With the new update for SiDiary you can also import the export the files from the software of the Abbott Freestyle Libre into SiDiary!
We recommend that you import it as CGMS data type as an entry of all data as blood sugar value would be too many data for the table.

A short note for Palm users: Andi Heitzer has built a converter tool to use his diabetes data tracked with GlucoPilot on a Palm device with SiDiary on his windows desktop computer. I will add more detailed information on the web very soon but if you're interested in this converter (and reading German pages isn't a problem for you), you can read more infos on Andi's Homepage (point to diabetes in the navigation frame). Andi is providing this tool for free also! Details
2004-03-28 New release in download section & new board
A new version is waiting for you in the download section. Main feature is the included french translation, some of you were waiting for. Thanks a lot to Ulrike Schleese! Additionally there are a few smaller adjustments for the statistics. Read details here.
The beta-test for diabetics with pumps has started this weekend so we can expect a main update in the next two or three weeks! :-))
One new main section for this web was opened now: The board! With kind help from diabetesinfo.de we have now a board for discussions about SiDiary! I hope this helps for discussions, questions etc. And for sure I will be there also! ;-) Details
2004-03-24 Want to become a beta tester for pumpers
I've finished a beta version with the new functionalties for diabetics with pumps. If you want to help me with testing this functionalities, just send me an email. I have to use "beta testers" for this functionality because I will not use it...because I've got no pump ;-) If there will be more than 10 interested "pumpers" for this beta test, the selection will be done by "first-come-first-serve" :-)
I would like to start the beta test this weekend... Details
2004-03-19 The 10.000th visitor
Probably today there will be the 10.000th visitor of this site. With a real/official start date on 01/19/2004 that isn't bad for the beginning?! ;-) If you are the 10.000th visitor, could you please make a screenshot with the web counter and send it to me by email?! :-) Details
2004-03-15 Next release (V2.7.103)
The new release is waiting in the download section for danish and czech users! The danish translators Michael Rasmussen and Helmut Rielke from diakids.dk have finished the whole work on just one weekend. Additionally Patrik Krizan has completed the czech version last week. I didn't send an update-warning info because there are no new functionalities in this version beside of the two new languages for the GUI. Details
2004-03-13 Danish is coming...
Good news for all danes: Michael Rasmussen & Helmut Rielke have started with the danish translation on this weekend! :-) Details
2004-03-08 New release in download section
Now you can find the new release in the download section. The most important thing is the spanish translation which is now included! There are several corrections and optimizations and also the pie-chart code is brandnew (all details are included within the downloadable zip-files). Additionally I had worked on the web as you can see from the previous news-item and on the right navigation bar. Good luck and have fun with the new version, Alf. Details
2004-03-06 Broken Web...
Sorry to all visitors from yesterday! The redirect did not work properly so that a broken page was displayed to all visitors which have started on www.sidiary.org. Now it should look much better... Details
2004-03-01 Less news...but soon...
Today there's just less to tell from SiDiary's last weekend: I could fix a few cosmetic things which are not that important that they should be put on the web as a new release. I've worked on several language issues and even the improvements for the pump users are finished in my head so I can soon start the dev...
Another item: Under specific circumstances it could be possible that the pie-chart shows incorrect sectors. It is drawn with a free code-snippet, which was taken from a magazine. I've encountered these things 2 weeks ago and from time to time I get emails from you also finding this bug. It took some time to analyze what is going on in this code and it's clear now but it needs some time for correction - BUT this bug is already known and I'm working on it - If you encounter this phenomenon: You can always trust the displayed percentage values for low, target, high and x-high values! Details
2004-02-25 Small Fix on statistic graphs e.g. am/pm-handling
Fix 2.5.92 is waiting for you in the download section. There was a 'cosmetic' bug with the line graph, if you've saved bg level values with times 12:XXp. In this special case the graph had shown some suspicious intersections. Additionally you can find a recently started hardware compatibility list since I was asked from time to time on which devices SiDiary is running properly. I hope that you could help me with this question by a short confirmation of your used hardware?! Thanks a lot! Details
2004-02-23 Small hotfix V2.5.91 & Dutch translation up ...
Affected: PPC with setting Type2 only: The labels for Basal/bolus were mixed up in the BG-Overview sheet and Henk has completed the dutch translation :-) Details
2004-02-22 A lot of cool new things...
Now you can download the next bigger release (V2.5.90) from the download-section. The downloadable zip-files contain a complete update-list, here are some highlights: Support for type/type2 (insulin and pills), up to 4 different insulins or pills, add new insulins and pills directly in program, OTUS csv-import, several improvements of statistics, resizable window for graphs, 2 further translations (slovak & croatian) etc. Dutch translation isn't 100% but Henk is already working on that! Details
2004-02-12 PPC-Hotfix V2.2.67
I've fixed a bad bug with the referred version (PPC only!): If you've decided to let SiDiary update the column header time this update was just visible on the screen but not saved. Changed times in the column header were only be saved, if they were edited manually. Thanks to Christian Mück for reporting this bug! Sorry for that, I've lost several time values too. :-(
Win32bit version was not concerned! Details
2004-02-09 Version 2.2.66 with new statistics and graphs...
The new PC and PPC versions can now be downloaded. You'll get new statistic coeffecients, one new graphical view and a Diabass interface. Additionally the improved sync functionality is included which was announced for yesterday.
Great news for the durch users, translation is completed! Thanks a lot to Henk Heijligers! :-) Details
2004-02-06 Advance notice: Synchronization & Diabass
I've worked on several improvements on data sync issues between Win32- and WinCE-application (performance, avoidance of CE-restart etc.). If these changes will come through test efforts of this weekend I will release it likely on Monday. Also the Diabass interface is completed and has been given to Oliver Ebert for approval. :-) Details
2004-02-05 New version 2.1.56 released.
You can now get version 2.1.56 from the download section with several improvements and bugfixes for the U.S. users. (Bolus calculation, carb ratios, am/pm handling etc.) . Please go to coming soon section to get a complete list with all modifications.
Details
2004-01-26 Version2.0 available!
Now you can download last weekend's results... Some bigger issues on the application's architecture are invisble for you but they are still there.Version 2.0 is the result including new features like (date picker in PPC, capability to track unlimited values per day, csv import interface etc.). For more details please visit the 'coming soon...' section. Details
2004-01-23 SiDiary runs on Pocket PC 2003 mobile edition!
After implementing a work around for the Pocket PC 2003 platform, a user had now confirmed that SiDiary is working stable on that platform. In this case he was even using the mobile edition so we can say SiDiary is now "MDA"-proofed. :-) Details
2004-01-20 Translation of manual completed
Get your English manual today! Translation is about 99% completed! :-) It would be great, if some of the U.S. users can tell me about if you could get the sense out of it...sorry, I'm not a native speaker...
Great new info for SiDiary: Together with Oliver Ebert, we will implement an interface for sending data to DiaBass!!! Details
2004-01-20 Yesterday's date format issues now solved!
The weird problems about date format are solved: First one was just a display problem, second one was a hard bug that came up when a user have entered data "backwards". I.e. if you've started on 01/19/2004 and then stepped back to the previous days the data of 11. day was overwritten by the data of 1.day. This was a problem of the used ini-class, but it's now fixed. Both problems were just PPC issues. Windows version wasn't concerned by them! (Since on 32bit windows ini-handling is part of the system api ;-) ). Details
2004-01-19 Problems with date format?
Two users have contacted me with some weird date format problems. On one system the shown date in the bg-grid screen was 14.14.2003, on another system the data was saved for the wrong day.
I will try to fix this but I have to look if I can find anything wrong with the code by "code-reading" since I cannot reproduce these things on neither my device nor the software emulator.
I hope that I can provide a bugfix very soon! Details
2004-01-18 Am/Pm-Time is now supported
If you've installed the current version with your language file, you can now enter all time entries as am/pm values. Translation of user manual is in progress: ~40% are finished. Details
2004-01-14 Bug fixed for statistic without a single value
An abnormal program termination occurred if you've clicked on the statistics tab, if you haven't entered a single bg value before (it was a division by zero error when calculating the average blood glucose value). Since in my database were bg values from about several weeks, when I've finished the first version of the statistics, I had no chance to find this error before... Sorry for that and thanks for the information about this bug! Details
2004-01-14 Bug fixed in Win32 client
Sorry: Todays executable for windows 32bit versions had included a link to MsADO. So if you haven't installed these database package on your system, SiDiary won't run. Didn't recognize any problems? ->There was ADO installed :) (on newer versions like Win2000, XP it's already included!). If it didn't run, please donwload the current version, I've re-compiled it without that link. Details
2004-01-14 First import interface finished
I've included the first import interface (GlucoControl-database). The next one will be csv-import. You can find a step-by-step description for importing GlucoControl data on the FAQ page. Details
2004-01-13 Export finished
The function for exporting data is completed. You now can export the selected data from the statistics tab. Supported formats: Excel, Text/Csv, HTML, RTF. Two new Export-templates are included within the Win32-client zip archive from the download-section.
As you can see from the demo excel-export you can now create just every diagramm/graf you want: Just modify your template... :-)) Details
2004-01-13 New revision of German documentation
Since the documentation is actually not translated this is a German issue only... There was a "bug" in the documentation, which is now fixed. I hope that we will get an englisch documentation soon! Details
2004-01-12 New statistic graph
An additional statistic graph shows an x/y-graph (dot-graph) with all selected BG values. Details
2004-01-08 Synchronization of WinCe and Win32
Because ActiveSync is not able to merge two versions of an identical file (in this case the SiDiary data files from the PPC and desktop PC) I've implemented my own synchronisation into the Win32-client. The Ce- and Win32-application now have their own data folder, so ActiveSync can't get in trouble with them. The Win32 app automatically detects changes as a result of data typing on the PPC and it then merges all data. Details
2004-01-08 Suggestion of bolus insulin
The WinCe version now shows you the amount of bolus insulin after entering the blood glucose value and your carb intake. It calculates your insulin dose for your meal and adds the correction dose. But keep in mind: It's just a suggestion and you should ask yourself if this suggestion is ok! Details
2004-01-06 Implementation of language files finished
Based on a language file seperated from the executables, the current versions are now translated. Any language is possible, just the text file has to be translated. Just download the setup file and the appropriate language file. Details
2004-01-05 Now we're on the air!
Thanks to ShE. Now we have this web site as SiDiary's home. But it need to be posted on boards, search engines and web grawlers... Details
2004-01-03 Win32 version is now able to print your data
Spend some time for the printing function of the desktop version. Details
2004-01-02 Unit of blood glucose implemented.
You can now select from mg/dl or mmol/l Details
2003-12-30 Web site is finished.
Completed these web sites. Details
2003-12-29 Documentation finished
I've completed the german documentation...sorry translation has to wait... Details
2003-12-27 The Win32 app is finished
During my day at the office I have typed my values into the PDA waiting on his docking station - which was not user friendly while my PC was beside of it... So I decided to "downsize" the eVB application to VB5. Details
2003-12-15 Optimized calculation of A1C
For the optimized calculation you have to specify a Bolusinsulin with an effect period, which means after how many hours the insulin does have no more lowering effect on your blood glucose. If the algorithm now finds a higher BG value which was corrected with an injection of bolus insulin, it will interpolate for the insulin's effect duration down to the BG value which was monitored next. Let's say you've monitored 200 on 02:00pm and corrected this bolus insulin (with 2 hours effect time) based on your correction rule. Next time you got a BG value of 100 on 06:00pm and you know your correction was right. In such a case without optimization you would get an average of 150. But what has really happened? Because of your correction you've had a BG of 100 since 4pm and from this point it was on the same level up to your next monitor time at 06:00pm. The interpolated average is now 140 - 10 off which makes a big difference for the A1C... The results should now be pretty more realistic. Details
2003-11-03 Calculation of A1C
In the statistic form you can see the calculated A1C-value for your monitored blood glucose values. The calculation is based on the following formula:
A1C = (BG [mg/dl] + 100) / 36 Details
2003-10-15 Statistic analysis of the blood glucose values
The Ce-application now calculates several statistic values and shows a pie chart for the results. Details
2003-07-01 WinCe prototype finished.
The first prototype is completed with eVB. Now I can enter my data and make the database growing. Details
