BALANCE PC:
The Platform For a New Diabetes Technology

by Andrew Porumbescu

The Balance PC software helps you maintain your blood glucose control, while helping you meet the specific goals that you have set. When you start the program for the first time, it asks for a login name, because most people want their data to be private, and up to eight people can use the same software. After the login name is entered, it gives you a short interview that asks for your weight, cholesterol, blood pressure, last HbA1c test, etc. After filling all this information in, it asks you if you are happy with your weight, cholesterol, etc., if not, you can say "no" and type in your desired weight, cholesterol reading, etc., and it will tell you how long it will take and what to do to meet this goal. Following this interview, it takes you to the main page.

At the main page you can access a calendar where you can insert your daily activities, blood glucose results, how many units of insulin you injected. It’s your own “cyber diary.” Another thing that is really beneficial about this software is that you are able to download all of your blood glucose readings from your meter on to the software, which saves you all the time and effort of typing each and every test manually. Something else that this new age software has is hundreds of reports that you can choose to print, plus its own library which allows people to search for certain insulins, medicines, and medical terms. Balance PC is not hard to use and you can jump from one place to another. Anybody who has a computer at home will be able to work this easy-to-use software.

People should buy this software product if they want to be in control of their diabetes and it is really beneficial for kids who just got diagnosed. It is recommended by many of the top doctors and diabetes specialists in the world. “There’s no other software like it in the world. It is the most complete and easiest to navigate. If you are tired of high blood sugars, not being able to eat what you want, when you want, Balance PC is the product for you,” says Dr. Porumbescu.

In 1992, Aurel Porumbescu’s son was diagnosed with diabetes. While he witnessed what his son was going through, he decided to do everything he was capable of doing to help this disease be a little bit easier to maintain. After years of research, he finally came up with a solution that no one else was able to think of. The next generation of the diabetes management software will include his technology.

“It’s a new age for diabetics. Don’t let diabetes control you. Use the tools that help you understand how your blood sugar changes over time, and then you can control your diabetes,” says Dr. Porumbescu.
