[QUOTE="lionrampant, post: 973984, member: 8589"] I was perusing Reddit's /r/diabetes earlier when i saw someone making the point that BG results are just data points, not a "score" for how well you're doing. My immediate thought was "can't it be both?". So being an avid PC gamer I immediately thought of Steam's in-game achievements. Here's what I posted earlier: "Devil's Blood: Average 6.0mmol/l testing six times a day, for six days" "Sky Marshall: Inject for an in-flight meal without going high or low" "In Good Spirits: Use a night of drinking as a lazy way to prevent dawn phenomenon" "Smooth Operator: Make love without going hypo either during or immediately after" "Doctor Who?: Educate your diabetes specialist on new medicines or treatment plans they're unaware of" "Better, Faster, Stronger: Beat a non diabetic friend at a major sporting event such as a marathon" "Million Dollar Man: Collect the smart pump equipment upgrade" "Are you being served?: Successfully have a waiter find out the carbohydrate content of your meal" "Tier 1: Spend an entire day with someone new without your diabetes coming up" "I Am The Night: Go to an all night party and return home with perfect BG levels" "Ever had a really bad day?: Achieve your professional goals for the day despite poor bg levels" "Unforeseen Consequences: Code and release Half-Life 3 using only a dexcom and notepad++". So what would your computer game style achievements be for a diabetic? I've also since thought of "You Were Supposed To Be The Chosen One: Discover which snack is lying about it's carb content" [/QUOTE]
