Diabetes stats input via a simple phone call? Jott.com and SugarStats hold potential.
I just ran across Jott.com and have to say this looks simply awesome. The potential for this service is so freaking huge, I saw it and immediately began brainstorming ideas on how we could integrate it into SugarStats.com.
Wouldn’t it be cool to allow diabetics to make a quick phone call (they can already input via email, web, twitter etc) to input a bg, med, food or activity entry and have it go straight to their SugarStats account. How cool is that? Options are good, some people would rather press speed dial and say a sentence than type our a text.
It seems there are many other possibilities for Jott but I’ll have to dig into this more. This is definitely a feature we’ll have to look at implementing. Right now they are US and Canada only, but you gotta start somewhere right?

I’ve had a Jott account for some time and I actually tried using it to enter my sugars into SugarStats (via the email entry feature) and was really disappointed. What happens is a live person on the other end, or sometimes a computer, types my message and sends it as an email, but the translation gets screwed up. My message of, “BG 107” was emailed as something like, “beef gees 107” and so it never got posted to my SS account.
If you guys can get this working, it would be amazing! Maybe some sort of change in the email entry format so that we can just send the number without the “BG” in front, etc. Look forward to your ideas!
Hey Tim,
Interesting, sucks they couldn’t translate. Yeah I’m playing around with it myself and it doesn’t seem they are too good with abbreviations.
I’d love to see it work too, we’ll see if we can get it working
