Living with diabetes on the read-write web, part 2

I’ve come to a conclusion after a few months of rigorously sending my blood sugar stats to Sweetspot, it rocks my world!

I’ll admit to being a slacker when it comes to measuring my blood sugar even though my doctors been telling me for 15 years how important it is to know your mmol/l. I’ve always shrugged it off telling myself that I can feel if it’s high or low.

But even if that’s enough I’ve noticed that sometimes I can’t tell the difference between high or low, or even just telling the difference between low and blood sugar that’s rapidly falling. Anyway, it’s not enough to just be able to tell the difference between high and low. I must be able to make decisions based on statistic trends and be able to see how the blood sugar after a meal relates to how much insulin I took and what I ate.

Sweetspot helps me accomplish this in a very simple way and now that they’ve implemented localization and has a mobile interface in the works (or maybe even a native iPhone application?) there’s not much more to ask for.

Here’s the kicker, with the help of Sweetspot my blood sugar has never been better, sure it’s still drifting wildly but on average it’s keeping itself on very good levels.

Another web application that I can’t live without.
