How Tracking Devices Help With Diabetes

Lots of gadgets, like fitness trackers and wireless scales, can be your allies. They’ll provide a
simpler, more accurate, and more fun way to monitor and manage your diabetes.

Control Your Diabetes for Life

Why Tracking Helps With Diabetes

Ever get a
high phone bill? Then you know how looking closely at the specific
charges can help you change your behavior. The next month you’ll be more
careful about your minutes or the number of texts you send.

It’s the same with tracking when you have diabetes. By getting an accurate view of your blood sugar along with how much you’re exercising, eating, and sleeping — not just what you want to believe is true — you can make some real improvements.

Having data gives you power.

Research
shows that tracking — and the awareness that comes with it — really
works. One study found that people who wore pedometers naturally
increased their activity by 27%.  (And they lowered their blood pressure and weight, too!)

Other studies have
found that people with diabetes who used apps — to record food,
exercise, and other behavior — had better long-term blood sugar control.
