SweetSpot

Editor: We’ll be posting all future newsletters here at the blog. Here is the last one we sent out a little over two months ago; time to whip up another one! Oh, the poor Pats… but we don’t want to spoil the New England sports fans too much with championship teams in almost all the major sports categories.

Happy late New Year to everyone!

I’m very excited to announce a new feature at SweetSpot: Tips and the Tip Jar. We all have garnered ‘tricks of the trade’ from having to deal with diabetes. Some we have picked up from the doctor or from literature, but most of them have been passed by word of mouth or learned from hard trial and error. Enter SweetSpot’s Tips, a place to share what you have learned with others in the SweetSpot community. You can stash your favorite suggestions from other members in your tip jar so you won’t forget.

Snazzy Graphs

The graphs have been gussied up, but the changes go much deeper than a fresh coat of paint. Let me introduce you to the 24-hr digest, a new way for you to see what your glucose levels are doing. Instead of trying to make heads or tails of your glucose levels from Monday through Sunday, the 24-hr digest will show your weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly averages at each time of day. This is a great way to spot trends you may not have previously caught.

Changes at SweetSpot HQ

The new year finds us adapting to life with a sassy puppy. Lark chews firewood with abandon, but splinters all over the house are something I and the vacuum can deal with as long as she leaves the shoes alone.

Entering and retrieving your data

We have thrown a handful of improvements your way based upon your fantastic feedback and requests. The data entry screen is simpler and easier to use, you can retrieve your notes and entries into spreadsheet documents, and we now have handy RSS feeds for your consumption. What is RSS? Think of it as your online paperboy delivering news and useful morsels of information right to your computer. Your team can use these feeds to see the team notes or perhaps those recent glucose entries that are outside your ideal range. Definitely contact us if you would like some further explanation or help in using your RSS feed.

Website Updates

SweetSpot has had a little housecleaning. Nothing too outrageous,but we have tidied up the sidebars a bit and simplified launching ‘SweetSpot Fetch’ for Macintosh users. Now you can just click on the ‘Fetch device data’ without having to worry about downloading it yet again.

Have a wonderful day!
Adam Greene and the SweetSpot Team

P.S. For those of you in the States, the SweetSpot confessional will be open after a Sunday of junk food and commercials this Super Bowl weekend! Go Pats!
