There seem to be a fair number of diabetic tracking programs written
for the Palm OS.

Does anyone have opinions or experience of which ones (if any) are any
good?

Currently I just write notes in a memo file. I'm not sure that software
would really be that great an improvement.

Buy yourself a copy of Handbase and create your own.
(http://www.ddhsoftware.com). There are demo versions available for all the
flavours. I'd suggest Pro if you use Access on your PC.

There are a couple of glucose logs samples in the gallery you can use as a
starting point. Its not that hard to use. Define what fields you want to
record data in and away you go. The additional forms part of it allows you
to provide a more user-friendly approach to it as well.

I've been using this since dx (I bought it well before dx) and have three
databases on the go recording BG in one, weight in another and blood results
in another.

Since it is adaptable, you can set it up so that you can record what matters
to you.

Otherwise, check the FAQ posts on misc.health.diabetes for other
suggestions.

Looks like a very cool program. I was hoping to find something already canned
with all kinds of cool graphs and stuff. I suppose I could build it, but if it
exists why bother?

I never learned Access. I'm an old fart and still use Foxpro.

I use Diabetes Pilot (from www.diabetespilot.com).

It can be used to store glucose readings, diet, exercise, insulin (and
other medications), etc. It includes a food database that can be used
to calculate insulin doses. At $15, quite reasonable in price, and
you can download to your PC as well.

As another already wrote in response, why reinvent the wheel?
