I'm kind of new to this app and new to oral diabetic meds and just can't seem to decide on a good way to record my blood sugars...open to ideas...

    There is a food notes section where you can add whatever you wish.

    I just use my meter to record it. The sugars column will not show how the sugar in that food effected your blood sugar level. Some sugar will not cause as dramatic of a spike, plus timing and combinations of food make a difference.

    On the website, you can go to My Home and then Check-In and if you look below the Other Measurements box, you'll see a choice to click Track Additional Measurements. Click on that and then in the Description Box you can type Blood Sugars. Then whenever you want, you can log that number. (If you are logging from the app, you would go to Progress and choose the drop down on the Track my line, scroll to the bottom of the list, and you'll see Blood Sugars.)
