I have been having great results with the GI Buddy App from CCFA in iTunes. I recommended it to a friend in London and she cannot access it.

B'Dereh or anyone else in Europe can you do a search and see if you have access to it? It would be sad if you can only access it in North America. It sends reports to my GI that covers everything: BM quantity and consistency, diet, pain levels, meds, sleep, exercise and more.

It is not perfect but it really makes it easier to keep track of everything for the doc.

Good morning.

Apparently, it is available in most countries, including the UK and Germany:

I will be living without smart phone until June, when my iphone can be unlocked.

Thank you very much for checking. I also found a desktop version that is available world wide: Gibuddy.ibdetermined.org
Why does it have to be locked for 6 months? I would have major problems without my smart phone.

But Subzero, we got along fine for years without smart phones!
My iphone was part of my job. Now that I've left, they said I could keep the phone and give their chip card back. Because of their contract, Apple won't unlock the phone until June. It's an expensive little thing at a time when I am not working, so I am happily using my very own not-very-bright phone. Come June, I'll have my iphone working again.

You are right. I use mine from financial tracking to menu planning. I have an i-cloud grocery list that everyone can add things to. With six people in the house it makes things much easier. Whoever is in a grocery store can get things for everyone and no duplications are purchased. I love it but we also did just fine without such tools.

The i-cloud grocery list sounds very handy. Can't it do the shopping as well?

There are two grocery stores nearby that will take your on-line order and deliver them to your house. There is a $20 delivery fee which is more than I want to spend at the moment. It was well-worth it after the first two surgeries though.
