How can I track my blood sugar privately on my phone?

A blood sugar log with no account

Many logging tools ask you to sign up before you can write down a single number. We think your readings are yours, so PrivateSteps works the other way.

• No account, no sign-in, no ads, no analytics.
• Your entries are stored only on your phone.
• The app has no internet access of its own, so it works the same in airplane mode.

You can read more on our privacy page.

Units, many entries a day, and a target

Adding a reading takes a moment. Here is what you can set up:

• Choose mg/dL or mmol/L, whichever your meter shows.
• Add as many entries as you like in a day, such as before and after meals.
• Set a target for blood sugar. It appears as a dashed line on your chart.

Your doctor or care team is the right person to talk with about what your own numbers and targets should be. PrivateSteps only records and draws what you enter.

See it next to your steps

The Compare screen puts steps, blood sugar and other logs as lines on one chart. You can look at a Week, Month, Year or All. Some people like seeing a walking week and a blood sugar week side by side. We only show the lines. We do not judge them or tell you what they mean.

Reminders and the home screen

You can set a reminder to check your blood sugar. It is scheduled on the phone itself, not on a server. A wider home screen widget can also show your latest blood sugar along with your steps.

Getting started

Open the Log in PrivateSteps, choose blood sugar, pick your unit and type in a reading. That is all it takes. PrivateSteps is free to start, and the store listing shows current pricing.

If you already count steps with us, your blood sugar log sits right alongside. If you change phones later, our guide on moving your steps to a new phone explains how to carry your step history over.
