mySugr alternatives in 2026: blood sugar apps compared

Short answer

mySugr is one of the most popular diabetes apps, and it fits best if you use an Accu-Chek meter. The right alternative depends on why you want to switch. For a simple log with no account and no ads, try Glucose Log. For a meter from another brand, MedM or Health2Sync. To share data with your clinic, Glooko. For a family managing type 1 with a CGM, Gluroo. For detailed insulin and carb tracking, Diabetes:M.

Disclosure: we make Glucose Log, one of the apps on this page. Everything we say about other apps comes from their App Store and Google Play pages and their own help pages, checked on the date above. Prices are US App Store prices.

Why people look for a mySugr alternative

mySugr is well rated: 4.7 stars from 33,000+ ratings in the US App Store and 4.5 from 143,000+ on Google Play. Switching is usually about fit, not about a bad app.

Why we built Glucose Log

Glucose Log home screen: you enter a glucose reading from your meter by hand, choose fasting, pre-meal, post-meal or bedtime, and add a note
Glucose Log: Blood Sugar DiaryiPhone, iPad and Android

Glucose Log is a simple blood sugar diary for type 1, type 2, gestational diabetes and prediabetes. Many diabetes apps are built around sensors, accounts and food databases. We wanted a log for people who check with a meter and just need to write the number down: two taps, a tag, a note if you like. It does not measure blood sugar.

Your full history, charts, insights and reminders are free. Pro adds PDF and CSV reports for your doctor, time in range, an A1C estimate and long-term stats.

  • No account
  • No ads
  • mg/dL and mmol/L
  • 6 languages

Updated regularly on iPhone and Android. What we add next comes from people who use the app: tell us what you need.

Questions

What is the best alternative to mySugr?

It depends on why you're switching. For a simple log with no account and no ads, Glucose Log. For a meter that isn't an Accu-Chek, MedM or Health2Sync. To share data with your clinic, Glooko. For a family managing type 1 with a CGM, Gluroo. For detailed insulin and carb tracking, Diabetes:M.

Is there a free alternative to mySugr?

All the apps here are free to download and let you log readings without paying. Glooko and Gluroo have no in-app purchases at all. Others, including Glucose Log, keep logging free and charge for extras such as reports.

Is there a mySugr alternative without an account?

Yes. Glucose Log needs no account. MedM and Diabetes:M work without one and offer an account for cloud features. mySugr, Health2Sync, Glooko, Gluroo and Glucose Buddy require an account.

Does mySugr work with any meter?

Automatic sync works with connected Accu-Chek meters and the Accu-Chek SmartGuide CGM, plus Apple Health. With any other meter you can type readings in by hand.

Can I move my readings from mySugr to another app?

Save your history before you leave: mySugr PRO includes PDF and Excel reports. If your readings are in Apple Health or Health Connect, an app that imports from there, like Glucose Log, can pick them up. Check what the new app imports before you delete the old one.

Do I need a CGM for these apps?

No. Every app here lets you type in readings from a finger-prick meter. Gluroo is built mainly around CGMs and pumps. More in blood sugar log apps without a CGM.

How we checked

On October 28, 2026 we read each app's US App Store and Google Play pages: description, in-app purchase prices, the "Contains ads" label and App Privacy. Where a store page didn't say whether an account is needed, we used the maker's help pages or an independent app review. No app maker paid to appear here. We recheck this page every month; if something is out of date, write to support@glucoselog.app.
