I'm a Lumberjack and I'm Okay

Okay, I'm not a lumberjack. Because I'm in no way, shape, or form...a logger.

As patients, we're constantly scolded for showing up to doctor's appointments without logs. We're accused of being too far removed from our data. It's assumed that we don't log because we're not paying attention. We're not thinking about our diabetes. We're not doing our part. We don't take this seriously.

Yesterday, as I was changing my pod due to an occlusion that resulted from slamming my pod arm against a door frame two hours prior, I realized why I don't log. I realized why I can't find a logging app that I like. I realized why I can't even create a form I like even with my mad spreadsheet skillz.

There is just too much to log.

Whenever I've tried to create a form with the fields I think I need, I feel fairly satisfied until the first time I find information I need to log that I can't fit into a tidy space.

iBG Star Diabetes Manager App Review

The iBG Star Diabetes Manager App is pretty fantabulous. I specifically love the cleanliness of the input (even without using the accompanying meter).
