Best Apps For Diabetes 2020
best apps for diabetic diet
Considering the fact that diabetes management is a non-stop, 24/7 responsibility that persists 365 days a year, apps designed to help us manage our blood sugars and overall health is a great idea!
One thing all apps have in common: you’re gonna get what you give.
If you’re to benefit from any diabetes or health-related app, you do have to take at least a little time to upload your blood sugar data (or enter it manually if your meter or Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) doesn’t automatically sync with that app), enter your food and activity, and your medications.
You don’t have to do all of that — but the more of it you do, the more helpful information you’ll get from your diabetes apps.
Let’s take a look at the best diabetes, food, and exercise/activity apps that can help you manage your diabetes.
Diabetes Apps
mySugr: Diabetes Tracker Log
The team at mySugr try to make living with diabetes a bit more fun by having a sense of humor. With a cute monster logo, it feels far less “medical” than most health-related apps. It’s designed and managed by people who live with diabetes, with the goal of “making diabetes suck less”.
The available feature will depend on which country you live in, and one of the most exciting features is an insulin calculator, which is available in some countries outside the US.
When used with their test-strip subscription plans, you also get access to CDEs to help with your diabetes management goals.
