I have found some pretty cool tools the past few weeks that I want to share.
1. For those with Smart phones- yes they have an app for that! I found an app for my iPhone called dLife. this app allows you to record you blood glucose readings, has recipes and all sorts of fun ways to help you. The best part is it is FREE! Don't have a smart phone? That's ok dLife has a website www.dlife.com
2. The American Diabetes Association website has fantastic tools including a great recipe log. www.diabetes.org
3. According to the American Diabetes Association the Glycemic index is a great tool to help control blood sugar. The glycemic index (GI) is a ranking of carbohydrates on a scale from 0 to 100 according to the extent to which they raise blood sugar levels after eating. www.glycemicindex.com
These have helped me a great deal in the past few weeks. Hope they will help you too!
