One great diabetes management tool is a Daily Blood Sugar Log. Monitoring and recording your blood glucose results can help you identify how food you have eaten affects your glucose, how exercise affects your glucose, patterns of high and low readings, etc.
We know that the foods we eat can affect our blood glucose levels. Another great diabetes management tool is a Food Log. Writing down the foods you eat can help you see which foods have the greatest impact on your blood sugar. It can help you become more aware of the amount of food you eat as well.
