This IS great! My daughter was just diagnosed after a scary ER and ICU stay. We are looking for a journal she can WRITE in.. so she can keep track of foods eaten, carb count, insulin dose, and Blood sugar levels. In all the world out there, no one has come up with a Journal for the lives of diabetics?
Since we are so new at this and have no experience, I will be checking back to see how it goes. Any pointers or tips would be greatly appreciated, esp books or websites with info. I am a sponge and am absorbing everything I can. I want my daughter to be safe and well. And I want her to live a long and healthy life.
Kudos to all of you for doing this. Good luck
K

This is a great idea! I’m searching for an accurate ‘logbook’ in which I can record my BS numbers and what I eat. The only problem is that I’m also pregnant and there is no logbook yet that allows for random midmorning snacks, ect. Does anyone know of either an online logbook or a printable file with flexability on eating schedules? I’m tired of having one book for my numbers and another book for my food (which I haven’t started writing down b/c it’s not organized enough and gives me a headache just thinking about it!). It would be great if I was able to easily email/fax all this info to my doctors and nutritionists too! Is this asking too much? I hope not…I was hoping I wasn’t going to have to become a programer to come up with something that will finally work for me!

Dirk- Awesome! I agree, it is a pain in the ol’… but better now then face some nasty consequences down the road, and for me it is really great because my kids see how healthy food is so much better for them- it is more concrete.:)

Cozmo- Pasta… I def do not do a lot of that anymore. I wish you success as well, and f you find anything good, don’t forget to share!

I’m actaully kind of excited about starting to keep track of this stuff myself. This coming from the guy that bought a blood sugar meter just for fun. I wanted to prove that dreamfields pasta is a scam but never quite did.

I also am keeping a logbook. Though not yet online, I also am noticing that certain foods and excess quantity can effect the blood glucose levels. To date, my lowest has been 79. It is a chore to do daily, but it beets having to face the complications for not acting on this today.

Good luck with your journal.
