[QUOTE="LooperCat, post: 1828184, member: 468055"] Tech has been the thing that has made glucose control click for me - I’ve always got my phone on me. So combining the Libre with MiaoMiao and my thirty quid Pebble watch means I can see almost in real time what’s happening with a glance at my wrist - and with Spike and MySugr to log it all and do the calculations, all I have to do is enter a bit of data, see what it says, and (crucially) if I agree, I’ll take a shot. MySugr has a bolus calculator, I entered all my correction factors according to time of day, so it'll suggest a dose. Spike has a clever feature where it shows a graph of how much IOB you have, and when it’s due to run out. I still make the final decision, but the tech really helps. Put it this way, I’ve dropped my HbA1c from 94 with fingerpricks to 43 with the toys :borg: [/QUOTE]
