C'mon, get appy
Apps can be a diabetic's best friend when it comes to health tracking. "Find an app that helps tracks your diet, activity, and blood sugar," Dr. Aloi says. Many even allow you to scan the bar codes of foods to find out their carb content. "You can share all of this information with your doctor so that he or she has a better handle on how well your diabetes is controlled, and can make any needed adjustments to your treatment." He recommends MyFitnessPal, but there are many others that also do the trick. The University of Florida Diabetes Center highlights these diabetes-tracking apps.
