New to this forum but not new to diabetes
 

Hello everyone,

I am a 48 year old male (T1 since birth). Do not let anyone discourage you from living an action packed lifestyle. As long as you think positively and conduct your activities with a little common sense you can do/achieve anything !

After living with diabetes for 48 years my best advice can be summed into one word - TIMING - check often and stay ahead of your carb intake instead of chasing the high blood sugars.

Use technology - this iPhone app is a great way to log results & maintain good BG levels. Another iPhone app I use regulary is Restaurant Nutrition - makes it a lot easier to calculate how much insulin is needed when eating out at fast food places.

If anyone has any other apps or suggestions I would love to hear them. I'm always looking for better ways to maintain good control...

Welcome to the Forum! :)

That is sound advice and I use both of the Apps that you mention.

One other App that I can recommend is MyNetDiary, I like it! If you try it, be sure to go to Setting and turn the Carbs ON. Enjoy!

I also use an App called Insulin to calculate insulin units, based on blood sugar reading and carb intake, but it's not free.
