I've never used Lose It but I do know that Restaurant Nutrition allows you to track your meals when you go to just about any restaurant in North America. It's actually been pretty useful for me.
But back to the topic on hand. I was diagnosed at 14 and the nurses and doctor at the Children's Hospital were what really got me through. They explained it to me very simply and helped me understand what my body was, or rather wasn't doing. At that age, cutesy stuff doesn't go far at all. Even some of the visual aides they had I remember thinking they were stupid and childish. But when you're younger it's different. How many things do you still just automatically think or do that you were taught as a small child? When we're young like that, we can be trained much easier. We haven't begun to settle down into our own routines or mindsets just yet. We can still be molded. The main thing I would think they would be concerned about is dealing with the needles and finger pricks. And I'm afraid no app can help you past that.
I'm not saying it's a bad idea, it probably just needs a little more work.
