Hey Mick,
I feel your pain, it was one of the main reasons I started SugarStats. My goal was to try and make it as easy as possible, but at the same time at the end of the day it really comes down to your habits, your lifestyle and personal determination. But overall I personally think having it accessible from any web browser and input support from mobile phones/email is magnatudes better for personal management than pen/paper logs or excel spreadsheets if you're on the internet regularly.
Really the only thing you have to 'maintain" is daily entry input for what you want to track (i.e: glucose levels, med entries, food intake, physical actvity, you can customize this. If all you want is an online glucose log that is fine!), when you log in you're taken to the current day. Almost the entire rest of the system is about aggregating and gather statistics, trends and graphs from the sum of those single days in timelines you can easily understand.
As for cost, its free! The majority of the feature set is included in the free plan and always will be. The premium plan was crafted based on our surveys and internal statistics and adds a lot of "convenience" features for those out there who want them (added things to be able to track, no ads, ssl encryption etc.). And even then its about the cost of a starbucks coffee now-a-days anyway.

Heya,
Do you mean glucose reading scales? (mg/dL and mmol/L?) If so yes, I was getting many requests so we implemented that. You can use mg/dL or mmol/L, though we don't have international language versions yet. Perhaps in the future.

Hello all,
SugarStats.com in a new web app currently in private-BETA meant for blood glucose tracking and diabetes management. With SugarStats you can track glucose levels, medication, food intake and physical activity. The goal of SugarStats is to be as effective as possible but also extremely easy to use and pleasing on the eyes. From inputing day-to-day stats we can aggregates statistics and trends on yoru diabetes and present them to you in easy to digest info and visual graphs.
