Diabetes

Is there a way to track my diabetes levels so that I can compare my diet with sugar spikes? It would give me a chance to identify specific foods that trigger a surge.

You can use the "notes" feature in your diary to track your sugar readings and times, etc.

Or I'm sure there is a blood glucose tracking app separately somewhere, but that's the easiest way if you want to keep it within MFP.

I use an app called Glucose. I test first thing in the morning (fasting), one hour after breakfast, two hours after breakfast, before lunch, one hour after, two hours after, before dinner, one hour after, two after, and before bed. I keep my food log in My Fitness Pal and if I have a spike after a meal, I look to see what questionable foods it might be.

You can add a custom measurement in MFP by going to Check-in and clicking Track Additional Measurements. I use this to keep track of my morning and evening blood sugar values.
