Diabetes Pilot Desktop

Editors' ReviewDownload.com staffOctober 21, 2004Get help monitoring glucose levels and more with this plain but functional diabetes-management program. Aside from colorful tabs for the four sections of the program--records, reports, food, and assistance--Diabetes Pilot Desktop is pretty drab. Buttons help you add new records for glucose readings, medication, food intake, and exercise, and a window pops up to capture information. A searchable food database with more than 5,000 choices is a nice feature, especially with carbohydrate, fat, and calorie information provided. Diabetes Pilot Desktop offers a variety of reports, with a satisfying number of export formats, including PDF, XLS, DOC, and RTF. Preferences are limited and include the ability to set glucose ranges and to opt for an alert if a reading is outside your ranges. The trial version has a 15-day limit. Anyone in search of a basic diabetes program might enjoy the ease of use this software provides.
