THANKS!

| | | I am trying out Sugarstats and I'm getting used to and starting to like the interface.
No payment either, unless you want to go premium, which offers a few more tracking options and is advertisement free.

| | | It's free for basic blood sugar levels. If you want to track food/exercise, then it costs. I find the free service is fine. I've been using it since mid-December.

| | | As a fairly newly dx'd Type 2, I keep a log of BG and what I eat. It's been very helpful as I can more easily see the link between what I eat, how much I eat and how it affects my BG.
I can see a day when I'm more confident of my food intake that I won't need that part and at that point I'll go to a graph.
By the way, I had the same problem with sugarstats graph (forgot my password & couldn't get another) so for now I'm logging in hand written form.

| | | I still keep a handwritten log that includes food, as well. It allows me to go back to a date when I had a particular high and see what it was that I ate.
