GlucoComm
Description
GlucoComm is an application to download your glucose readings from the Accu-Check
line of glucose meters. It has been tested with the Active and Compact models.
It should also work with other models from Accu-Check that have an
IR port, but it has not been tested. It will likely not work with other brands.
Currently version 1.x will download all records from the meter, and allows
for saving in a Comma Seperated Values (CSV) file that most spreadsheets can
open. (On the PocketPC, Pocket Excel cannot, but SpreadCE and PlanMaker can.)
