I actually use an app called My Fitness Pal. here you upload everything you eat or going to eat if you want to check the amounts BEFORE you eat them, to keep track of sugars, carbs, cholesterol, basically anything. My mom is diabetic and would occasionally stop for Culver's custard. She would get 2 scoops with strawberries. Her and my grandma. She has to watch her carbs, so after looking it up on my app, she realized that those 2 scoops had 77 carbs in it. NOT so great for her!! I would recommend getting that app if at all possible. I will tell you everything you need to know about any restaurant's food items. If you're buying from a store, it has a scanning option. you just scan the bar code and it gives you alls the info at a glance.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. You download the app to your phone. From your phone you can see your calories burned and steps taken, but you can also log in the food you eat. In addition, if you use My Fitness Pal, you can sync your FitBit to your MFP account, so you can see your stats from eithre site (the FitBit app or the MFP). When you input your food to MFP, it will give you all of your nutrition information, including your sugar intake for the day. When you input food into your FitBit app, you can click on the link that says "nutrition information," and it will give you all of the information on that particular food. However, I personally find MFP more convenient for being able to see my nutrition information quickly at a glance. Each app is great on on it's own, together they are awesome! Hope this helps!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.you will have to manually enter the food intake on the phone app
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You have to manually log what you eat into your account on the computer/internet so I guess it has some value in that regard.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It helps me keep track with my suger intake, my doctor has it sync to his system at the office. It helps a lot with mine. Talk to your doctor about it and see if they have that option for you.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can manually track what you eat on the Dashboard which is in their website and electronically connected to your Flex. I have not seen any news as of today about tracking glucose levels.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Fitbit app is good for estimating sugar intake but I wouldn't trust it to be 100% accurate. It will do well if you eat a lot of prepared food, but if you are cooking for yourself, you will have to estimate your intake.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. You can enter all the food you eat.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. I have stopped tracking my caloric intake as I am at my goal weight. It would be great for tracking your diabetic concerns
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes...if you're disciplines about using the phone app to enter the information! You can also enter your Blood Glucose levels in the app to track them, as well.
