A diabetes journal, a handy tool for your diabetes management

Do you find it difficult to manage your diabetes and figure out which foods and routines are right for you? Could you use some motivation for your diabetes management?

This daily diabetes logbook helps you monitor your blood sugar levels in combination with tracking the carbohydrates in your meals & snacks, your water intake...

The daily logbook gives you insight into how your body reacts to certain foods, which bolus ratios or strategies work and which ones need adjustments; it helps you determine what does or doesn't work for your blood sugar level. This allows you to track your postprandial blood sugar level—your sugar values after a meal or snack—from day to day and gain insight into the total number of carbohydrates in your meals.

Keep track of your sugar level before and after a meal

Carbohydrate counting apps are handy, but if you really want to gain insight into how your body reacts to certain foods, it is also very important to track your sugar level before and 2 hours after eating, which is why a diabetes journal is so useful. This way, you can see if the insulin dose you administered for your meal is correct by noting your sugar level at the time of the meal and 2 hours later. You can also determine whether certain foods, such as pasta that enters your bloodstream more slowly, require different bolus strategies and keep track of this in the 'notes' section. Ideal to take with you to your appointment with your dietitian or endocrinologist to have your ratios adjusted if necessary.

Designed by someone living with type 1 diabetes

This printable diabetes journal was designed by someone who lives with type 1 diabetes and uses an insulin pump, with the goal of helping other people living with diabetes gain insight into their values. You can collect a lot of useful information in it to help manage your blood sugar levels and develop healthier habits. I sometimes have a snack and don't always estimate or look up the carbs correctly; by writing down everything I eat, I also have an extra incentive to do it right, weigh it correctly, and enter it into my insulin pump.
