I'm probably the least organized person in the known universe, but, when faced with this disease, the first thing I did was start using my watch to make aware of the times I had to take blood readings. And to show off that I could do it. :smartass:
My unconsience motivation was to make my wife and friends admire ( Macho thing) how well I was taking the change to my life. After a while, this developed into the habit of doing the right thing without the need to "Show Off."
A major thing which helped me was to buy a new watch with a buzzing alarm to remind me that it was time to take BG readings.
