BlueStar Diabetes Reviews

Before my use of Blue Star I could not seem to get my glucose level under control. With a change in Meds and the use of BlueStar my glucose level has diminished. The benefits of using Blue Star is that I get immediate feedback whether my glucose level is in target, high or low. I am given an explanation for the rational behind that glucose level. At times I have eaten too much carbs resulting in a high glucose level. Other times I may have exercised too long which caused my glucose to go too low. The quick response is the thing I like most about BlueStar. Right after getting a glucose test result; thru BlueStar I also get feedback on the possible causes of that level. Furthermore when my glucose is in target I get a statement that rewards me for the great outcome. I am finally getting my glucose level in target and the thing I like best is that I now understand my role in controlling my glucose levels.

BlueStar has literally saved my life. It keeps me accountable for my blood sugar levels, weight, blood pressure and tracking my food. I started using BlueStarDiabetes in February. Six months later, my A1c went from 8.4 to 6.8. And I lost almost 30 lbs. I enjoy the most encouraging messages after an entry. Even if you have been bad, it still gives positive feedback. I paired BlueStarDiabetes with the FreeStyle Libre Glucose Sensor. It so easy to take your blood sugar and immediately put it in the BlueStar app. Thank you so much for providing this service.

Fantastic user experience with a clean fun and helpful interface. BlueStarDiabetes has helped me lower my A1C from 10.5 to 6.9 in three months! The only negatives are that it is not available to the general public without going through your insurance company and it is a one way data vacuum meaning it accepts data from Apple Health, but it doesn’t share the data you enter back with Apple Health essentially locking your own data away within their app.

I have been using BlueStar for several years now. I find that is very useful. However, in the last week I have a problem. If I try to open BlueStarDiabetes from my password manager all I get is the first page and nothing else. I must get BlueStarDiabetes and use it indenpent of the password manager. It is small and I DO NOT LIKE IT! Other than that it is v dry good.

Good for record keeping

BlueStarDiabetes was what was needed to keep my interest in lowering my blood sugars and A1C numbers. I have gone from an A1C of 16.3 a year ago to a 6.1. Bet you didn’t know that number could be so high!
BlueStarDiabetes keeps all my medical information with me all the time. Who doesn’t have their phone with them.

I’ve just recently added short term acting insulin to my diabetes regime it was simple and real easy to add the info into BlueStarDiabetes and since I use a sliding scale it showed me exactly what to do and when to do it it really does help me track and be more aware of my issues and challenges with diabetes thank you

Truthfully I’ve barely had a chance to use BlueStarDiabetes . But the low rating is due to lack of accessibility for people with disabilities. There is no captioning of the videos.

Also, BlueStarDiabetes kept crashing when I tried to sign up. Finally succeeded by clicking on support in App Store which led to website and was able to register there. Then able to log into BlueStarDiabetes . Very poor process.

I don’t need notifications from BlueStarDiabetes . Asking me to turn them on every time I open BlueStarDiabetes is HIGHLY annoying. A blood sugar tracking app should have no need for my location data, stop asking.

I loved that I can plan ahead my meals counting carbs and keep record of everything!!!!

I just love BlueStarDiabetes. It’s been a great help and has helped me loose weight too ! Hands down !!

I don’t like the new format change. Used to be able to see the whole week, now only by day. Trend charting is good but having that quick snap shot of the week is gone. Two thumbs down.

Crashes all the time. Needs to be fixed otherwise it would be great

BlueStar is a helpful app that helps me manage my diabetes everyday so that I could stay healthy.

Since the update it has been hard to use I have not been able to log both short term and long term insulin doses when I get up in the morning when both doses need to be recorded

It’s very helpful to have the open dialogue with health professionals at the tip of your fingers 😃

Blue Star really helps me to keep by BS in check. Easy to use. I can send reports straight to my doctor. It would be great if it would interact with the LiseIt app I use to track my foods. The food tracking portion of BlueStarDiabetes is not easy to use.

Where do I get the member ID when registering through Humana?

Glucometer will not sync, therefore app is useless to me.

I really like BlueStarDiabetes. As a doctor with diabetes BlueStarDiabetes provides timely feedback, education and coaching to ensure compliance. The color coding of the blood sugars readings give instant feedback on glycemic control. I highly recommend it for my family, friends and patients.

No way to assess whether this would be a good app for me because the FIRST thing you have to do it Sign UP for something.
Why cant a person simply open BlueStarDiabetes -look around -see if it will work -before you have to do all the “create and account” stuff. There are so many apps out there that I have an account with JUST because I wanted to see if it would work for me…and I NEVER go back … but those accounts are still out there…
I’m tired of having everything under covers until you give up your identity -so for me -I will never know if this is a great app or it doesn’t fit.
Thanks anyway

Great idea but it won’t sync to any devices. Every sync attempt ends in a “Bluetooth error” notification. This is funny since none of my other Bluetooth-reliant apps have any trouble whatsoever.

I love BlueStarDiabetes but haven’t been able to use it for days because it crashes as soon as I open it.

Edit: I uninstalled and reinstalled BlueStarDiabetes per customer service instructions and now it works fine:)

Using recent foods when logging meals causes app to crash. This has been consistently happening for a year.
