I check my blood daily - is there a place to record this on MFP?

    You could use the "notes" section of the food diary, though it would be difficult (I think?) to track trends with it this way. For something like that you might prefer a spreadsheet.

    Not per se, but you could use the ‘Notes’ section at the bottom of your food diary to note down your numbers.

    Might be handy there so you can see a direct connection between variations and what you ate that day?

    I’m on the iOS app, but I’m kind of assuming there’s a similar space for notes on Android and web versions. I’m sure if there’s not someone will correct me! 😊

    There is a way to add custom trackers. Not sure about the phone version (hope someone will chime in), but on the web version go to "Check-In" from the main page then click "Track Additional Measurements". Name your measurement under description and click "Add Measurement". You'll be able to track your blood sugar by going to Check-In again, entering a value, and saving changes, and you can view a chart of it in the "reports" tab.

    This was what I was going to suggest. Note that if you check your blood sugar more than once a day, you'll want to create separate trackers in MFP (e.g., Blood sugar, waking; blood sugar, post-breakfast, etc.), because the way that feature is designed, you can only record one value per day for a given measurement.

    Nope.
    And I wish there was.

    Make it automatic, like the way MFP sends my carbs consumed to my glucose monitor. Or how Apple Fitness sends my exercise to MFP.

    I think it will happen eventually. Probably about a week after non-invasive continuous glucose monitors become a thing, and everyone who is health conscious is wearing one.
