It is web based so it can be accessed from anywhere...i may be using the incorrect words since I am computer challenged but it was such a cool idea. It has the ability to set text message reminders for when to check as well as ways to count carbs and you can ever take a picture of what you are eating from your phone to upload to the site to remember how your body responded to an odd food or to count the carbs or whatever you might use that feature for! It was developed by a parent of a diabetic who wanted to help a teenager manage their diabetes in a practical, user friendly way. Also, it allows us diabetics to utilize the technology that we use everyday and are most familiar with to manage our disease! I was stunned by how amazing it was! Just cant remember the name at this moment but will write again from NYC! xoxoxox *Hi pretty girl, there is an awesome new program that I learned about at the ADA conference, I am in Jersey, but the brochures are in NYC so I am not sure I remember the name, but will let you know as soon as possible!

I'd be interested to see if you got the Dex stuff to work easily on your Mac.

(Tina you were right lol) I haven't done much with it yet except for the initial set up. The main software that I was concerned with is the Dexcom and according to their site, it's Mac compatible so hopefully I won't have any issues. Worst case scenario if I don't want to configure the Mac to run Windows, is to use my Windows laptop (which is now my hubby's hehe). Problem solved :) Well I did get the MacBook last night!!

In both cases you will need a copy of Windows. VMware has a tool to migrate an existing PC to the Mac, I expect Parallels has the same.

I have never owned a MAC and don't know much about them...sorry! If I hear anything about diabetes software compatibility with a MAC, I will let you know, but I am sure you will find out more before I do.. so in that case, I am really excited to hear what you find out : ) Hmmm… I have never owned a MAC and don’t know much about them…sorry!

He is probably singlehandedly responsible for the company's success! I don't have any information on how diabetes related programs perform on the Mac but I hope it works out for you!
