Where do you keep your BG readings and meal carbs and insulin data?

I am afraid I have a bit of OCD and prefer my data all in one place. In the IDEAL world that would be in my phone's Apple Health.

The Freestyle Libre 2 app I have been using stores any BG readings and Insulin shots within the Livreview online system but does not sync into Apple Health. I use an carb counting app called Lose It! on my phone which does record data into Apple Health

I could use an App called MySugr and manually enter BG readings, and carbs, and both basal and bolus insulin shots in it which then sync to Apple Health

Dexcom G7 app can hold most of the data in its Clarity app but of the data only the BG readings sync with Apple Health.

So I can view all my data in either the Libre 2 cloud app Libreview, or in the Dexcom cloud app Clarity, but in order to get BG, and Carbs, and Insulin (both types) into Apple health I cannot do it all from 1 app so would have to use Dexcom AND something like MySugr to get all the diabetic information into Apple Health.

Cumbersome. Does anyone else run into this issue? Have you resolved it? If so, how

It also allows you to enter carbs and exercise, so all your data will then be stored in the Libre app and on Libreview. So unless you use the Apple app for other things as well (I'm not familiar with the app), you'd have all the data you want in one place with Libre alone.
 
I use a combination of XDrip+ and manual entries in a simple app called Diet Diary (to be data mined when I finally find the time!) I really need to sit down and write something to unify the data collection and prediction sides of things (namely having meal macro constituents available to allow experiments with better BG predictive modelling, as well as things like illness logging all integrated in the same app, and for ease of use, barcode scanning and meal constituent/serving calculations)
 
Personally all my bs data is on my phone which the diabetes “ team “ have access to, carb and insulin data for me is in my head , as, I tend to know roughly what my carb content of the food I eat is, I suppose having diabetes for over 40 years helps me in this aspect
