Diabetes Pilot for Pocket PC: Download Instructions

Installing Diabetes Pilot is easy and works much like installing any other software. There are just a few steps:

Step One: Please read the following

We hope that you will find Diabetes Pilot to be a useful tool. However, it is important for you to understand that the information provided by Diabetes Pilot is not intended as medical advice and that Diabetes Pilot should not in any way take the place of your doctor's advice or your own personal judgment. The authors of Diabetes Pilot shall not be responsible for your use of the program or its results under any circumstances. These and other issues are explained in detail in the software license agreement. You can read the software license agreement for Diabetes Pilot by clicking here

By downloading or using Diabetes Pilot, you are indicating that you agree to the terms of the software license agreement. If you do not agree with the license agreement, you may not download or use the program.

Step Two: Set up your device

If you haven't done so already, install the software that came with your handheld (the "ActiveSync" software that comes with your handheld is required to install the program).

Diabetes Pilot for Pocket PC works on devices with Microsoft's Pocket PC 2002, Pocket PC 2003, and Windows Mobile operating system. This includes most handhelds made my Dell, HP, Compaq, and many other manufacturers.

If you have a Pocket PC 2003 or Windows Mobile device, continue with step 3 below. (If you're unsure about what type of device you have, click here for instructions on how to find out).

If you have an older Pocket PC 2002 device, you'll need to install an update on your device. Download and install the ".NET Compact Framework" from Microsoft by clicking here and following the instructions shown. Then, continue with the steps below. Again, this is only necessary if you have an older Pocket PC 2002 device.

Step Three: Download and Install the program on your Pocket PC

Install Diabetes Pilot on your device by doing the following:

Connect your Pocket PC to your desktop computer. Make sure that the ActiveSync link to your device is connected.
Download the program by clicking on the link below. When you do this, you may be prompted "open" or "save" the file. Choose "open".

Follow the instructions on your screen to complete the installation. The installer will download the software and transfer it to your handheld.
To launch Diabetes Pilot on your handheld, tap on it's icon. The icon is located under the "Start" menu (the small "flag" icon in the upper left corner of your device screen). On some devices, the program will appear in the start menu. On others, you will need to choose "Programs" from the start menu to find Diabetes Pilot.

Step Four (Optional): Diabetes Pilot Desktop

Diabetes Pilot for Pocket PC works with the latest version of our Diabetes Pilot Desktop software (sold separately).

If you already have Diabetes Pilot Desktop on your computer, check the version:

Start Diabetes Pilot Desktop on your desktop PC
Click on the "Help" menu, then "About"
Look at the version number. If it is less than 4.0, you will need to get an updated version of the software before you can use it with the Pocket PC software. Click here to visit our update page for more information.

If you do not already have Diabetes Pilot Desktop on your computer, consider purchasing the program or downloading the free trial. For more information, click here.

You're Done!

You're ready to start using the program. You'll find instructions here.
