Managing diabetes can be complicated. Fortunately, we live in a world where technology makes things easier. There’s an app for nearly everything today. Want to read a magazine? Check the weather? Track fitness goals? Just pull out your smartphone and open an app. The same goes for diabetes management.

There are now several apps that can help diabetics to manage diabetes care.
Here are just a few…

 

Glucose Buddy

This app is used for tracking blood sugar levels. It can also be used to keep track of carbs eaten, medicines, exercise, and more. The app produces charts that allow diabetics to see trends in their blood sugar levels, which could lead to better management. In addition, the app can be used to set reminders to take medications or test blood sugar.

 

GlucOracle

GlucOracle was developed by Columbia University. It’s an app that helps to predict blood sugar levels. Users enter a meal into the app and the app projects what their blood sugar level is likely to be after eating that meal. This helps to prevent blood sugar spikes. The app uses an algorithm to personalize the information so that after entering about a week’s worth of meals, the information produced becomes more accurate.

 

iCookBook Diabetic

This app comes from the publishers of Diabetic Cooking and allows users to control a cookbook using their voice. The app walks users through a recipe step by step as they’re cooking. The development of the app included a team of dieticians and food experts, so the hundreds of recipes that diabetics can search are all diabetes-friendly. Users can even select recipes to add to their meal plan, make a grocery list, and share their favorite recipes with others using social media.

 

Go Meals

Go Meals is a carb tracking tool. The app has a database of more than 40,000 foods, including many restaurant selections. Users can see nutritional information for the foods they choose and customize recipes.

Home care providers can also help older adults to manage their diabetes symptoms and care. In addition to helping seniors to use apps for diabetes care, home care providers can remind seniors to check their blood sugar levels and take medications. They can also prepare healthy meals that follow the meal plan. Home care providers can even drive older adults to medical appointments, exercise classes, or to attend diabetes support groups.
