Hey guys
Just wanted to share this with you all.
I struggled with my levels as I am constantly being put on different medication for other medical problems and so started a spreadsheet. As I work in an office this is easy to maintain but I guess you can get such things for your smartphone.
So it looks a bit like this
date...... BG..... what i ate..... how much i injected.... notes
22.8.11 10am 6.2 a scabby matress 8 units lowered insulin as going to gym
Well put it this way my levels are farrrrrrrr better! I try and do it every day (takes seconds) and it means I can search for foods and how much I injected and then I have a good idea if its too much or too little. Similar to how your would carb count but without having to keep reading the back of packets!
I dont know if this would help many people but it does me. It gives me more of an idea of what to inject what for certain foods and also I have a huge list of levels to analyse if everything goes a bit pete tong. My diabete nurses LOVE IT as they can see exactly what is going on day by day and they can see trends where I go a bit of track.
Like I said I work in an office so it is easy for me to pop on my spreadsheet and input the data but it takes seconds and is such an easy way of managing everything
