Questions & Answers for iBGStar® Blood Glucose Monitoring System provided by Sanofi US

Yes, it does work with the iPh5 with an adapter. The software is easy to use & beautiful on the iPad. I even added my A1C reading to a note with a red  from some free Emoticons. I bought a Bayer Contour USB but the Glucofacts software, like most diabetes programs, was written for the PC & ported to the Mac, so it's not as intuitive or easy to use as we Mac'rs expect.

At the present time, this meter's software only uses the US system of measurement but I fully expect the US to adapt later..it was discussed in a class I took in Jan 2013. I would like to be able to add other meals, like snacks, tho the times are flexible to group them with other meals.

Yes! It does. I have an iPhone 5 and have been using the iBGStar since it was released. They just released a new version of their iPhone app (v 2.1) that supports iOS 6 and using a lightning adapter, it works. They do prompt you with an alert saying it isn't tested, but it does work and a new version is supposedly going to be released to work specifically with the iPhone 5 and thunderbolt. However, with the certifications it must go through, like the FDA, it may take a while.

I believe Agamatrix makes the strips. They are only compatible with the iBGStar though, i.e. not interchangeable with other Agamatrix strips.

The meter was released in Europe a few months back so it is available outside the US. My recommendation is to buy extra before you go to be sure.

You can test without it being connected to the phone. You can connect it when you want to sync your data.

1) Readings are imported into the app every time the meter is connected to the iPhone. Entries can be manually entered directly into the app.
2) I can't answer this.
3) First time the meter is connected to your iPhone it calls for a sync. Once that is done every time the meter is connected to the iPhone there is an automatic upload of the data from the meter to the iPhone. According to the Owner's Guide, the meter continues to store the 300 most recent readings. Once it reaches 300 the oldest will be deleted and the newest one will be saved.

Incidentally, once a reading is taken it cannot be deleted. Also you can download the Owner's Guide from the iBGStar web site.

Hope this helps.

According to the Owner's Guide the included lancet launching device "works with most generic lancets such as BD Ultra-Fine 33 Gauge Lancets".
