[QUOTE="Boo1979, post: 1938922, member: 446715"] I’m not really sure what the point would be 1) If its to show other people how their body would react to foods, then that wouldnt work given that every body will react differently to the same food(s) and there will also be significant differences between forum members in terms of peoples diagosis ( T1, T2, RH, gestational LADA, MODY etc), their comorbidities, stage of disease ( 1 year, 5 years, 25+years etc) that would any individuals numbers pretty well meaningless in relation to any other individual. The fact that the suggestion has popped up in the newly diagnosed section magnifies those issues IMO 2) if its to showcase good numbers then theres at least 2 “success” threads 3) if its to get help / opinions on dissapointing / confusing numbers then ask a question, diabetes discussions and BG monitoring are there as subfora 4) If its just to post numbers with no real purpose then that strikes me as akin to testing BG and just wrtining the numbers down in a record book 5) If its to enhance personal accountability, there are already at least 3 threads 3 seperate threads already comparing fasting BG numbers As you can probably tell, while I find my BG and blood test numbers interesting and vital to monitor, other peoples numbers recorded without an obvious purpouse bore the pants off me!
