Best app for food and BG

[NickiSanta]

Hi

I'm new and have 2 free apps, one for bg, one for food diary.
Is there a good one that does both? I am new and I'm trying to understand which foods to avoid, made difficult with the data being split between 2 places.

Thanks
Nicola

Don't use apps myself, I prefer the old fashioned notebook and pen but I have seen this app recommend on several occasions https://www.mysugr.com/en/diabetes-app

I use a spreadsheet ... data more available and flexible.

I have tested over 20 apps in the last year. My favorite WAS myfitnesspal but I have found one that does it all for me. It is called Carb Manager (carbmanager.com). I have signed up for the premium version because some of the features (such as meal times) are only available in the premium version. However, I can log Blood Glucose readings, Ketone readings, food, insulin and exercise. It has a reporting feature that is kind of useful, as oposed to NO reporting features in other apps. I can export my data to excel as well, so I can play with it.

The down side of the app is that the integration with Fitbit is not great, but they said they are working on it. They do integrate with other devices and apps so that is good (such as Google Fit). They DON'T integrate with any blood glucose monitors but again, I have suggested and they said they are trying to get that but GDPR/Medical Data rules are tricky to say the least.

Bottom line is, it does ALL the logging I need (food, BG, Ketones, H1b, insulin) so I am happy with it.

BTW, I don't get a comission for recommending it
