Glooko application and cable accessory connects iPhones to glucose meters, boon for diabetic Apple users

by Gavril Mankoo

iPhones aren’t all about entertainment apps or a female robotic voice that talks back to you. There’s a lot more to an Apple iPhone, like using it to keep check on your health! Take the new health application Glooko one. A digital logbook of sorts that keeps tabs on people suffering from diabetes, this app checks on blood sugar levels by hooking on to a $40 cable developed by Glooko that connects the iPhone to renowned glucose meters available today. Complete with the ability to mark your readings before and after meals, add notes, and email or fax a 14-day summary to your doctor, the app is free for download and seems like a great way to keep those blood sugar levels in check.
