[QUOTE="PaulinaB, post: 922689, member: 96654"] Hi! Welcome to the forum! I'm a tech geek (work in IT), so I like to stay up-to-date with technology! I use: 1) glucose meter (as anyone) 2) fitbit charge hr tracker - tracks activity, heart rate, steps, distance, etc 3) dexcom g4 cgm for continuous bg tracking 4) manually log insulin doses (though I get bored every now and then!) I wrote myself a piece of software that puts it all together for me, creating graphs like this: [ATTACH=full]14909[/ATTACH] Shows my BG from CGM (black line), BG readings from meter (blue dots) and heart rate from fitbit (yellow-orange-red depending on level of hr), plus vertical lines mark insulin doses - N X for novorapid dose, L X for levemir dose. I'm experimenting at looking at HR versus number of steps made to see which one has more obvious effect on BG. The graph shows my readings from 2 weeks ago when I was eating carbs again. Horrible, as you can see. Since then I went back to LCHF and my levels are much better. Plus, almost no insulin doses (apart from Levemir). From that kind of data I generate more graphs, like average BG over days, standard deviation of levels, approximate HbA1c, daily profile, AGP, etc, etc. Hope this helps :) [/QUOTE]
