Undermyfork: Diabetes App

You are left to figure out carbs and stats of the food

I've tried many different apps and none of them were very simple to use or charged exorbitant amounts of money. This is my new favorite app. It does everything perfectly. It'd be nice if it had a daily count of carbs and insulin used or send that information to apple health for tracking. It'd be nice to know but I can recommend this app enough.

This app is a life changer!! This is the EASIEST app to use! No more cumbersome logging of data. Everything is so quick and easy. All of the results and analysis are right there in simple to read, color coded indicators to show your success, orLack of it. It is so easy that, unlike every other app I have used over the past 7 years, I have not quit logging because it just takes too much time. In fact, as I look at the daily/weekly analysis, I find myself deciding to log more often, which ensures I have a better picture of habits resulting in a better tool to manage my diabetes. In the short time I’ve used this app, I no longer wonder if I took that last shot and righter watch my sugars rise from skipping or watching them plummet when I accidentally double take a shot. This app has been a critical tool to know exactly when I take insulin and to change my life from living from high crisis to low crisis … to having my sugars inside the target range most of the week. Using meal time analytics inside this tool i have gone from 32 units of insulin the times a day with meals … to 3 mealtime insulin shots this week. Did I mention I lost 5 lbs this week? For the first time in 10 years, I am living with diabetes instead of unable to get out of bed due to so many diabetic crisis!! I was regularly 350-450 blood sugars. Now I maintain a range of 135-165. All this success drives me to do even better day after day instead of … frankly … just haven given up. So LETS TALK ABOUT THIS WONDERFUL APP: This app allows you to take a quick picture when you sit down to eat and enter a few quick tags and/or description of the meal. Save it. Eat before it gets cold. Not convenient to log? Use ur camera and take a picture anyway. Later, when u log it an insert the photo into the app, it must pull the time stamp from the camera and load the meal time for you. No longer guess on meal times or what u ate! Glorious and I generous!! Quickly add insulin doses. Only disadvantage is you cannot load the type of insulin. So I always take the same dose of long term insulin and ensure that I never take that exact same dosage of short term. I even load my weekly shot, Mounjaro, which is a completely diff dose. That way, I can always tell at a glance what I take and when. Sync your CGM, I use Dexcom G6, to the app and it magically loads each and every reading into the same app. So what is the end result? Quickly and effortlessly load every shot, meal, glucose reading into the same app. View everything stacked on each other and how they interact in a quick instant!! SHAZAM!! See how each meal affected your sugars, what insulin dosage you took and if it was enough or too Much. A quick color coded indicator shows what percentage of time you stayed inside your target range over the 2 hr period following each meal. GREEN: 70-100% of the next 2 hrs stayed inside your target range YELLOW: maybe 50-70% stayed in range RED: you were out of range most of the next 2 hrs. All the while, there is a trail from the CGM in the background so you know if you were slightly out of range or blew it!! Instantly understand what diet/insulin regime works and why. No more guessing! In essence: save a life… get this app!! It’s time to live your life and not obsess over a disease!
