Hello all. I am new to tracking my blood glucose levels. I am scheduled for additional testing with my doctor next week. The doctor is having me track my blood glucose levels several times a day and keeping a food log. Type 2 is the probable diagnosis.

I have a polycystic kidney disease (PKD). I am not yet on dialysis, but do have significant reduction in renal function and will eventually require dialysis. It is due to this that my doctors are concerned about my glucose levels even though the numbers are not as high as many people experience when they are being diagnosed.

I decided to try the glucose buddy app because I have to track my glucose in addition to my blood pressure that I've been tracking for ages. It was nice to find an app that does both.

Welcome to the Forum!

Read through the first three threads in the Type 2 Section, when you get a chance, if you have not already done so. These threads will most-likely help you a lot. Self education is one of the keys to successful management of your diabetes, along with a healthy / sensible diet and exercise. Basically, diabetes requires a life-style change for the better. Good luck with your control and management.
