What
determines whether you're a diabetic? The answer is almost too simple,
but the answer is in your blood. Specifically - your blood sugar number /
MGDL. Kind
of a kick in the face, isn't it? No, there isn't some special
test or some special enzyme that determines whether or not you're
a Diabetic.
There is no special screening. It's sad to say, but the only thing
that determines your condition is your blood sugar / MGDL. Such
a complicated disease, and you're diagnosed in such a simple manner. It's
just the way it is. Diabetes won't kill you - a life of above average
blood sugar / MGDL numbers will do that. Our blood sugar number is in
a constant flux of change. We must do everything in our power to stay
within a healthy blood sugar
range.

You can enter
in your blood sugar manually, or import data from an Accu-check device.
Most people will want to manually enter in blood sugar data. If you're
new, you would probably want to dump old data from your glucose meter
into the program (just to have something to start off with). Beyond that,
manual entry offers the most control. You'll have all sorts of options,
such as your current mood, stress level, temperature, event type, and
optional notes. Once you have this information recorded, you'll be able
to access your blood sugar averages, highs, lows, and other important
data. After all, the entire point of this software application is for
you to understand your blood sugar number.
