Bernard commented on Craig's blog post 'I have an idea to make living with diabetes better for us all and I'm tired of waiting. Help me do it. NOW.'"Interesting idea. You'd have to register and make sure system knew insulin to carb ratios, insulin on board and other stuff. I've a feeling that as the software gathered more information it might become more accurate. It certainly feels…"
Craig commented on Craig's blog post 'I have an idea to make living with diabetes better for us all and I'm tired of waiting. Help me do it. NOW.'"It's true. And there is actually another part of the idea that I should have included which is the idea that you could also have the app tote up all of your own results and give you a recommendation based only on your own data: "In similar…"

Here's the thing. Many times, every day, I, an unqualified lay-person with extremely limited information, have to make life-or-death calculations that my body should be making automatically. I have to figure out the right ratios - of food, exercise (type, intensity and length), insulin bolus (dosage and timing), basal rates and stress levels - that will maintain my glucose level within a range that will keep me out of the emergency room.

I sent you a friend request. I'm in Stamford too and see that you are looking for a new endo. Are you looking for one in Stamford? I can recommend a great practice. My endo is not taking any new patients, but I know her partner is. Feel free to drop a line if you'd like more information. I just don't want to post Dr. names on such a public place.
