SugarDash PocketLog

Our frequent contributor, Dana Lewis, alerted us to this handy tool for recording blood glucose numbers during the day. SugarDash is a mini-logbook that you can download from the internet, print out and fold, and it has enough spaces to enter 19 different glucose values each day for a week. While you may not need all the spaces, the fact that they are already marked with time of day makes it easier to track when you tested. There’s also a space underneath the glucose values where you can record each day’s events (like exercise, meals, etc.). SugarDash is small enough to fit into your glucose meter case and may be easier to carry around than a regular logbook. The book and folding directions are freely available for download. Dana will be going to the American Diabetes Association (ADA) conference with us this summer and hopefully coming back with even more tips – parents, Dana is also a moderator of ADA's Planet D online community, a safe place for kids to explore, discover, and connect with other kids living with diabetes.
