If you have diabetes, you know there’s a lot of important information to keep track of – blood glucose levels, diet and medications. On top of that, recording insulin doses and how certain foods and exercise affect your blood glucose level is vital to your health.
The problem is, most times you’re in the middle of something else – like eating or exercising – making it inconvenient to write down everything. Not to mention, all of those little scraps of paper soon turn into a disorganized heap.
The cutting edge technology of smartphone apps can now help you keep tabs on all your stats. Below, we’ve selected 5 of the best smartphone apps for diabetes to help you take the hassle out of managing your condition.
