add Comment/Notes Functionality

[phipno]

I wanna be able to add Comments/Notes like the already functionality to set insulin dose, carbon hydrates amount, dextrose...
Comments are a great way to note down foods or explain certain scenarios to your doctor.

Till now i don't see any way to input raw text into one of the "Etiketten" sadly.
One more Feature could be that the export/sync to LibreView is possible.

I got some knowledge coding in c And c++ but never worked on a project of this scale.

I'm going to give it a try though ~ gonna fork this beauty of a baby.

Maybe someone can offer me help and give me a run down of the code, since I think this shouldn't be so hard to implement and would be a nice first-issue.

Adding arbitrary notes is impossible. “note down foods” can easily be done. If in left middle menu→”New Amount”, you select “Carbohydrate”, a meal button will become visible in the middle of the dialog. By pressing it, you can specify a meal out of its component parts, see https://www.juggluco.nl/Jugglucohelp/mealhelp.html

Writing letters to your doctor, you can’t do in Juggluco. But you can create labels for certain events and specify to what degree they were present. See: https://www.juggluco.nl/Jugglucohelp/labelhelp.html

Notes would be really helpful, not only for docs, but for the patient himself.

I'm also looking for this feature.

It would be great to be able to add a note to the graph (which wouldn't be pre-saved as a label), or a ‘note’ label which would accept text and not just numbers, and whose value (text) input would be sent to libreview as a comment.

That's what I'm missing most with juggluco at the moment, the ability to quickly add a comment explaining a particular situation on the graph (and which can be exported to LibreView so that my diabetologist can see this same explanation on his graph).

As these notes can be extremely varied, and not necessarily linked to food, having to pre-create labels doesn't seem to me to be a good solution.

Examples of notes would be :

• Stress
• Sick
• Heatwave
• Party
• Bad night
• Hypoglycaemia not felt
• Meal delayed
• Air travel
• Hospitalisation
• Fasting
• ...

Notes that are of use are not unique, but can repeat itself. Most can be present in a variable degree.
Juggluco supports up to 40 labels. You mentioned only 10 types.

[damgot]

Yes, of course, these are just examples, I could add many more.
Indeed, recurring events are worth adding as labels.
However, we need to be careful about what we create in labels because we can't simply delete a label. If we have a list of 40 labels, we can't delete the 10th one that we no longer need (for example) to make room. We can only delete the last one. We could rename the 10th label (still an example), but in this case all previous notes encoded using this 10th label would be renamed too. Which is not practical.

Note that this isn't a criticism at all, but just a suggestion for a new feature, which would be very useful to me with the way I use Juggluco (which I find extremely practical as a diabetic, I was praising its qualities again this morning to my diabetologist).

[j-kaltes]

Yes, you have to be careful about the labels you use because you have to use them your whole life. That keeps you alert.
