Hi people I'm 45 and was diagnosed 3 weeks ago with T2, I knew it was coming it's a family thing. Now although I'm not massively overweight I'm trying to get some positives out of my situation. I guess I'm fortunate as my nurse encourages self testing so I'm getting strips on prescription and am testing fasting then before and 2 hrs after every meal.
I use an app called glucose buddy to record my results and myfitnesspal for checking my daily intake of carbs etc. So far in 3 weeks I've lost just under a stone, I'm now 14 st 8lb ( 6ft 2inch) and am pretty much keeping my levels between 4.5 and 7 which I'm happy about. Just wanted to know what apps you use and why you find them helpful.
I would recommend myfitnesspal to everyone as it's a fantastic way of keeping track of exactly what you've eaten and has a scan function for food packets.
Looking forward to your replys
