The short version
Choose Glucose if you want a focused iPhone and iPad logbook for glucose, insulin, medications, carbs, A1C, blood pressure, weight, and other daily records.
Consider mySugr if Accu-Chek device connections, Android availability, or region-specific mySugr PRO tools are central to your workflow.
Both apps are free to download and offer optional paid features. Availability, integrations, and subscription terms can vary by country.

Where Glucose is different
Glucose emphasizes a clean, combined daily log. It is built for someone who wants to record several related metrics without adopting a larger diabetes-management platform.
The app keeps entries, notes, meal context, averages, estimated A1C, and reports together. It does not offer insulin dose recommendations and should not be used as a replacement for regulated meter, CGM, pump, or clinical software.
Where mySugr is different
mySugr is part of Roche's diabetes ecosystem and its listing names specific Accu-Chek connections. Its PRO feature set includes expanded reports, reminders, search, meal photos, and a bolus calculator in select countries.
That can make mySugr the more relevant option for someone already using compatible Accu-Chek hardware or needing a supported regional feature. Device availability varies, so confirm the exact meter, sensor, country, and plan before choosing.
Which should you choose?
Choose based on the workflow you will actually use:
- Pick Glucose for an iPhone-first, all-in-one personal logbook with straightforward entry and export.
- Pick mySugr when its listed Accu-Chek integrations or a specific PRO capability is more important.
- Use the manufacturer-required software when you need device activation, real-time alerts, automated insulin delivery, or another regulated function.
Neither app should be selected solely because of an estimated A1C or a general marketing claim. Review current App Store information and ask your care team about tools that affect treatment.
