ShugaTrak® is a smartphone app that automatically gets blood glucose readings from glucose meters and sends them out in text messages and emails to people you designate—instantly and effortlessly. ShugaTrak® is also a website (you're on it right now!) where you can log in to see an accurate, up-to-the-minute history of blood glucose readings. The ShugaTrak® app and website are great for managing your own diabetes or for helping someone close to you who has diabetes.
The ShugaTrak® app uses a Bluetooth adaptor that plugs into the glucose meter and wirelessly sends readings to the phone. Once the Bluetooth adaptor is plugged in and paired with the phone, you don't need to do anything else. The adaptor fits into the meter pouch and stays plugged in all the time. No plugging and unplugging cables or gadgets! And there's no extra steps when you use ShugaTrak®. Just do an ordinary blood glucose check and the text messages and emails are sent automatically. You don't have to touch the phone, so it can just stay in your pocket or your bag the whole time.
The person with diabetes (maybe you, maybe someone close to you) needs an Android smartphone. To receive text messages with someone else's readings, you do NOT need an Android phone or any smartphone. All you need is a phone that can receive text messages. Or you can use email messages. ShugaTrak® does both.
Now, there are a lot of different Android phones out there, and we haven't tested the ShugaTrak® app on every last one of them. If you're curious about yours, drop us a line at support@shugatrak.com.

We’ve done everything we can to ensure that the ShugaTrak® app transmits blood glucose readings reliably, and that includes giving it a high priority by default. This high priority setting makes the icon appear constantly in the notification bar. If it bugs you, you can make it go away by tapping your phone’s menu button, tapping Preferences, tapping Priority Level, and selecting Low. In our testing, the ShugaTrak® app continues to transmit readings reliably after the Priority Level has been changed to Low.
