Certainly not but in the early days it's very useful to record everything and in times when diabetes control goes out the window, some meters like the Accu-Chek Aviva Expert allow you to record your carb intake and advises you what insulin dose to take based on the information you put in, might be worth discussing this with your daughters DSN and see if they can give you this meter or one similar.

give her the meter to play with, I always get my grandkids to do my electronic stuff. She will probably have it worked out in an hour
