Can you track your blood sugar on this app?

    Don't you need a blood test for that?

    I'm talking about tracking the results of the blood test you get from the tester.

    I am not aware of any way of tracking your blood sugar on this app. Of course you can track your sugar/carb intake in your macros if you have a medical issue that would benefit from watching your intake. Sorry I can't be more helpful. :/

    You can create new data categories to track under progress, but you can only record one entry per category per day, so you'd need to create a new category for each of the points during the day that you want to track. I strongly suspect there are apps built especially for tracking blood sugar that would be more flexible and useful for that purpose.

    There are actually entries for this in the food diary. You can add your blood sugar entry as a "food". Also, you could keep track of your readings in the Notes section of your food diary.

    I'm not doing the above at the moment, but I have in the past. As someone else mentioned, there are specific apps for tracking your blood sugar. You might want to check those out. :)
