Hi, everyone. I'm new here and this is my first post.

I'm here to ask if there are there any sites that are like Fitday which have nutrition trackers and databases, a place to record weight, exercise, etc AND which also lets you track blood glucose readings, all in one place?

I currently track my food on one site then input the carbs, bgs and exercise on a spreadsheet, and I'm looking for a way to streamline everything. I've recently started to use insulin and I feel much much better getting off oral meds and Victoza, but the planning and recording required is a bit like having a part-time job.
 
Welcome to the forum.....

I am not aware of anything online like that unfortunately............

I use myfitnesspal to record my food and then spreadsheets like you, to record blood sugar and insulin doses......

maybe someone else has some thought........:)
 
If you have a smartphone with android OS, Check out "On Track" its great, Has everything plus more what you want :)
 
I don't have a smart phone -- I'm a holdout.

I just looked up OnTrack and it does look good, but at this time, I'd need an online version.

the DAFNE Online website provides the facility to record your blood sugars, insulin doses, insulin/carb ratios etc, but it designed specifically for DAFNE graduates who are familiar with Car Portions [CPs], Quick Acting Insulin [QA] and Background Insulin [BI]..............

are you on a basal/bolus insulin regime.........

it may be useful...........if you sign up without being a graduate I believe you can still access the recording facility, but you wont be able to access the course handbook etc......
 
Thank you. Yes, I chose to use a basal/bolus routine so I wouldn't have to be regimented about meals.

There is something similar to what you describe, for free, at http://www.glucosebuddy.com/ and although I appreciate them making it free, it doesn't have a nutritional database.

Followup - I found and joined http://www.mynetdiary.com/ and it seems to have everything I want. I actually paid $60 US for a year's membership, which is extremely unusual for me as I never pay for any online services, but although I've only been using it a day I'm already thinking it will be worth it. There is a diabetes module that paid users can activate that will track bgs, insulin and will also incorporate the food diary info to give insulin:carbs ratios. The food module seems to have a very complete database and lots of ways to enter our own foods. There are places to track exercise, weight, measurements, etc. You can set your own nutritional targets, which I like a lot as a low-carb eater, I was never able to tell tracking sites that I didn't want to get half my calories from carbs.

The option to add the diabetes module didn't show up for a few hours after I joined... maybe it was about processing my payment.... but I didn't realize that it was missing and tried to get the site working the way I wanted without it., which was confusing But all that was temporary and I seem to be set up now.

If I ever do get a smart phone or a fitbit or any of that fancyshcmancy stuff, this site is already all set up to accommodate it.
