since my diagnosis in 2016 I have been keeping track of consumed meals (carb counting for the bolus shots) the actual bolus and basal shots, and of course the BG readings. And at no time has my doctor actually asked to see that data. When he wants to know how I am doing he orders blood work...

I am afraid I have a bit of OCD and prefer my data all in one place. In the IDEAL world that would be in my phone's Apple Health. The Freestyle Libre 2 app I have been using stores any BG readings and Insulin shots within the Livreview online system but does not sync into Apple Health. I use an...
