I see a lot of “talk” about fitness trackers, mobile apps, etc. I wrote about the 7-minute Workout once, and while I do like the concept and will use it in certain circumstances, it’s not something I look at very often. I even used mapmyrun a few times this summer. While I recognize the value of these tools, I know what works for me, I tweak it every so often, and I focus on living life and fitting diabetes into it (not the other way around).
For a while now I’ve been under the impression that more people use these tools than actually do.
It’s OK if you use extra, fancy devices to monitor or supplement your diabetes management. It’s also OK if you don’t. It’s great to have options and one day an option will come along and knock our socks off. And then another day we won’t need any of these options. So once again thanks to those who work on cool technology for diabetes, and those who are focused on a cure. Meanwhile the rest of us can go about enjoying life!
