Speaking as somebody who is married to a Type I diabetic...<p>The only way for a type I diabetic to stop taking insulin is to get a new pancreas. Tim Ferris claims a lot of skills but I don't think transplant surgeon is one of them. Proper diet and exercise can absolutely reverse Type II diabetes, which is probably where Tim has helped. It's an important distinction as this app appears to be targeted specifically at Type I folks who are dependent on external insulin.<p>I appreciate what they've done here but most blood sugar meters are already storing the readings and they have some poorly designed mechanism to get at the data. If they could import or somehow work with the data already stored in the meter that would be really, really powerful. Manually tracking each blood sugar test is going to be a limiting factor on adoption. My wife, for example, only looks back at her readings if she is having an issue. She'd appreciate a better interface to do that, but I'm sure she will not take up manually updating an app 8 - 10 times a day. I doubt she is unique in that regard.<p>A 150 average blood sugar level across all users shown on the front page seems high. Maybe it's an English vs metric measurement thing. I know what a good blood sugar is in the US (80-120) but I don't actually know the units are on that.<p>Cool app though. Now if they could just incorporate the blood test meter right into the iPhone...

Used to work next to these guys. Great team, great idea, beautiful execution. Nice to see a self tracking app that does something really worthwhile.
