I have no expectations on seeing this ever, especially since Fitbit is now charging for services that were once FREE. You are not health focused you are money focusedSent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device
I'm not sure but I think Fitbit had to take it away for liablity reasons. I personaly have found a new way to monitor these things. It's through Blue Cross and Blue Shield. Well OnTarget. You also get points for doing so which you can exchange for awesome gear. It's great that people have been responding to this threat for several years now. Glad to see people are attempting to improve their lives.
It would be awesome to be able to log my blood pressure in the fitbit app. I also know diabetics that would love to be able to log their sugar in the app. It would also be awesome to be able to add "generic" logs to log anything else someone wants to track. At the moment I have to use two or three apps to do this. I find that a pain.
Hi @murphrod, thanks for explaining why you would like to have this option. I've moved it into a similar suggestion which has been updated as "Under Consideration". You can learn more about here. Keep adding your suggestions!
Hi @SunsetRunner, thanks for explaining why you would like to have this option. I've moved it into a similar suggestion which has been updated as "Under Consideration". You can learn more about here. Keep adding your suggestions!
I would like to see an app to help keep persons with diabetes keep on track therefore helping that log their blood sugar levels, reminding them to check their blood sugar and reminding them to eat and or to take their medications
Hi @PSubran. Thanks for sharing this suggestion about being able to log blood sugar levels with us. This idea was already requested in the Feature Suggestions board, so I’ve moved your post here. This will help us to keep the forums organized and make sure the suggestions don't get confused, or split a popular vote. You might also be interested in these other suggestions:

For the life of me I can't figure out why Fitbit hasn't added the ability to manually enter blood pressure on the Fitbit App. Seems like a no brainer to me. We currently have the ability/option to manually enter our weight, water intake and calorie intake, but not blood pressure?? I have to use another unrelated app to track my blood pressure which is ridiculous. One would think that Fitbit's marketing department would try to do everything possible to make the Fitbit app the "do all" app for their Fitbit community. One app to monitor all things health related... of which... blood pressure is a pretty big element. Maybe once Google takes over we'll get this very simply request. BTW... I am a big fan of Fitbit. I currently purchased the Charge 4 and have owned all the other Charge trackers (HR, 2 & 3) at one point or another. I even own the Aria 2 scale (which no longer shows Body Fat % which is an entirely different issue I won't get into here). 😕
Okay, you have been being bombarded with this suggestion since 2017, (2020 - 2017 = 3 years and counting) yet have done nothing about it. Apparently you have given several excuses about not having the "room" but I would give up many features in favor of having a simple line to input b/p and b/s even manually so that it tracks in the premium report for my physician. Could you be a little more responsive to this extremely important area of health? g
My solution was to sign up for (free) Mango Health. It tracks Blood Pressure and Glucose and several other things like meds. It is a pain in the arse to log these things manually and have to use two different programs but I guess if you are going to do these things you might as well spend the extra few minutes to do it right! g
It’s time for me to upgrade my Fitbit. I love being a Fitbit customer and only wish for one small feature to be added: BP monitoring. And a manual input would be a great start.
With 68 million Americans – 1 in every 3 U.S. adults – having high blood pressure, and nearly 20 percent not even knowing they have it, surely this feature resonates Loud and clear with Fitbit’s company vision?
No space? Really? There are many UX and UI solutions that you could consider.
Just as I could consider a competitor product and will do so now based on this poor customer request turnaround.
Just got my Inspire HR today and am surprised there's nowhere in the app to manually log blood pressure. I thought maybe I was just missing it and checked around only to find multiple threads asking for this feature to be added.
People have been asking for it since 2017. It's disappointing to see this request has been ongoing for over 3 years now.
If I'm going to have to use another app other than FitBit then I may as well return this and just get an Apple watch.
Blood Pressure and blood sugar not updated in over 3 years????!!!!.
This company is very slow, if not down right ignores customer requests for features updates. Three years is inexcusable.
Furthermore, My Versa 2 has to be uninstalled and reinstalled twice a week in order to sync with the watch and program. Seems like a major bug to me. Why hasn't this been fixed?
I too am considering a change to Apple so I don't have these problems anymore. g
Now that Fitbit is getting into the heart health game via the ECG feature, there are a series of metrics that people get checked each year as part of their annual wellness visit/physical/biometric screening. Making it easier to keep track of these values would result in more people keeping tabs on them and possibly taking action to keep them under control.
There are a series of heart health related metrics it would make sense to allow a user to manually log/track via the app or at the very least via the "Log" section of the Dashboard on the web:
Blood Pressure (Systolic & Diastolic)
Blood glucose
A1c
Total Cholesterol
LDL Cholesterol
HDL Cholesterol
Triglycerides
The first part is just to allow people to MANUALLY log these values and see how they track over time via a chart/graph (such as going up, going down, etc), so no complexity of syncing with other platforms/devices. Once this can be manually logged and tracked, then you could look at part 2 which could include syncing with devices like blood pressure cuffs etc.
