Diabetes and Technology
I found out a little over a year ago that I was diabetic, which honestly wasn't a shock being that most of my family have or have died because of diabetes. For me this has been hard to deal with because I love food, ok maybe it's a love/hate relationship. I love to eat but hate the pounds I gain.
Most people would say it's not that hard to cope with diabetes, you either want to live healthy or loose a limb or your eye sight or any other varies health issues connect to diabetes.
What I found when I truly started to work hard at keeping my sugar level regular is that there are all types of
assistance to help track you levels.
Smart phones have apps that manage diabetes, tracks and analyzes medical data, with input options for carbohydrate intake, insulin injection times and exercise routines.
This app also alerts you when you sugar level is irregular.
You can even attach your glucose meter to your smart phone to transfer all the data to the app.
For me this has made being diabetic easier to track and to keep under control.
Let me know what you think about apps to help manage diabetes.
