The short version
Choose Glucose if you want an iPhone and iPad logbook that keeps glucose, insulin, medications, carbs, A1C, blood pressure, weight, ketones, and notes together.
Consider OneTouch Reveal if your workflow centers on a compatible OneTouch meter and you want its meter-specific patterns, reminders, reports, and Blood Sugar Mentor features.
Both apps are free to download. Confirm current device compatibility before choosing either app around a specific meter or sensor.

Where Glucose is different
Glucose is designed as a broader personal logbook. A glucose reading can sit alongside insulin, medication, carbohydrates, blood pressure, weight, ketones, lab A1C, and notes in one daily timeline.
That approach may be a better fit when your priority is keeping several metrics together instead of organizing the app around one meter brand. Glucose does not calculate insulin doses or replace manufacturer software required for regulated device functions.
Where OneTouch Reveal is different
OneTouch Reveal is closely tied to the OneTouch meter ecosystem. Its listing emphasizes automatic syncing with compatible OneTouch meters, color-coded glucose patterns, high and low pattern notifications, personalized reports, and a Blood Sugar Mentor feature on compatible meters.
That narrower hardware focus can be useful when a supported OneTouch meter is already central to your routine. It can be less relevant if you use a different meter brand or mainly want a broad manual health log.
Which should you choose?
- Pick Glucose for an iPhone-first log that combines glucose with several related metrics and exports.
- Pick OneTouch Reveal when compatible OneTouch meter syncing and its glucose-pattern workflow are the deciding factors.
- Confirm the exact meter model and regional support before relying on either app for automatic syncing.
Neither app measures glucose on its own. Treatment decisions should rely on a current reading from appropriate hardware and guidance from a qualified healthcare professional.
