I use many different apps to help me with predicting my glucose levels, carb counting and adjusting my insulin pump. In this vlog style video, I cover which apps I use and how they work. Apps is an area that I am very passionate about. Below are links to some talks that I delivered about them as well as links to all these apps. Please let me know what diabetes apps you use and what your experience of them is in the comments.

Just wanted to say thank you for your great channel. I'm a newly diagnosed T1D and your channel is introducing me to great information that I haven't found elsewhere. I spent a Saturday morning binge watching your videos and am now subscribed :) This video and the Apple Watch video were particularly helpful - and they convinced me that I needed an Apple Watch! My doctor just prescribed the Dexcom, and soon I will be able to see my BG by glancing at my watch (mind blowing!). Thanks again for the great content. Cheers!

@maddiewalding6935 3 года назад

I also love that Loop writes dexcom data directly to Health for the InPen app. It made it so I didn't have to manually enter a blood sugar to give insulin. I changed my transmitter during my pump break and forgot to add it to Loop. I didn't realize that Loop was the reason I was getting real time data! I hope Health gets real time BG data sometime in the future for apps like this...

@daviddeane9407 3 года назад

For those type 1 diabetics that are not using a pump and cgm but are manually bolusing based on blood sugar level, food carbs, insulin on board, exercise prediction, etc I recommend Rapid Calc ( I use on iphone) and I find it brilliant for calulating bolus dose. I use in conjunction with freestyle libre reading. The fact that libre result lags finger prick blood test doesn't seem to make much difference. If you are already using a pump I assume that the bolus calc will be done by pump and you won't need rapid calc. If you using pens give rapid calc a go. Great video thanks I am going to give snaq a go.

@ArwenTuty 3 года назад

I like to use Diabetes:M it is very user-friendly and very complete, you can also use it as a CGM 9Libre/Dexcon) and it does a lot of statistics with your data that I consider interesting (like the sensibility of insulin, and proportion CHO/U). And it also calibrates very easily by just entering new reading of a finger prick, (which you can differentiate from cgm read)

@lucieni 2 года назад

I’ve not eaten Pizza in forever but I have to say I would still (probably take a larger amount of FA insulin) for the carbs not taking the fats into consideration as I would usually not be having an active day if I’m eating like this plus taking into account insulin resistance. I guarantee I’d probably still spike after this so I’d go for a brisk 15 min walk to “walk it off”. That’s my short term way of dealing with a self caused miscalculation of carbs/Insulin ratio.

Thanks Aaron! I use Loop which had a bolus calculator for my insulin pump. Many apps have bolus calculator. mySugr is great and has a built in bolus calculator (in EU and UK) and robust food diary.

@3ntr3ri 3 года назад

Are you transferring the data you put into MyFitnessPal into Diabits? I'm currently using Yazio and Sugarmate. Yazio is putting the carbs into Apple Health where Sugarmate pulls them from. This is something, Diabits cannot do right now. To really get the most out of Diabits, it probably needs to know your carbs, too? Also, I didn't really get from the video why you use Snaq AND UnderMyFork - aren't they essentially providing the same use?

@Nerdabetic 3 года назад

Snaq carb counts. Undermyfork tracks time in range after the meal. They do two very different things.

@phillipandrew87 3 года назад

Major thanks for this video! I'm definitely going to try Diabits and the Snaq one. Interested to see how accurate Snaq is at calculating carbs (from your experience, is it?). Also, the last one sounds similar to the t-slim pump's control-iq, which is built into the pump (though you need a cgm for it to work). So for those who don't have an IOS device and are considering a pump, there's that.

Hi Nerdabetic, You and your videos are absolutely superb!!!! My 9 year old was given T1 diagnosis a couple of weeks ago. I am still grappling with it all. I saw Ur video about pairing the apple watch with the Libre. But I cannot work out the following 1. Where do I order the ambrosia Bluetooth sensor (or even the miaow one) 2. Will they both work without an iPhone and can they just work with the apple watch? Sorry it is so much and I am really struggling and will be grateful for advice :) Regards

@Nerdabetic 3 года назад

Hey 👋🏻 thanks for your lovely comment. 1. Best place would be their official website. MiaoMiao has an official store and so does Blucon. Links are under my comparison video . 2. They work with iPhone. You can also see values on the Apple Watch but iPhone nearby is required.

You know, can I place a tape to hold the Libre and then place the Blucon on top? with another tape. Will that tape in the middle interfere with the readings do you think?

@Nerdabetic 3 года назад

Hahaha yes tape will not cause any issues. It can be as big as it needs to be. It basically needs to be within 5 cm of the sensor and I don’t think your tape can be that thick. Any questions let me know 🙂

@jasonlarsen7747 3 года назад

If someone could tell me how to bolus for cereal and Chinese food, I think I would be fantastic!!

@darioflood7326 3 года назад

Bolus for ‘naked’ carbs is tricky for two reasons (based on my knowledge). 1. There is no fat to slow the digestion of the carbs (e.g. with cereal or porridge) 2. You’re typically eating in the morning, meaning you’ve been fasting over night. Food is digested faster. You also have very little active insulin in your system, meaning your liver does not know it should absorb sugar. There are two possible ways to solve this problem and get better sugars. 1. Bolus an initial correction 1 hour before eating, that would adjust you to 4.5 mmol, then inject 20 mins before for your food 2. Bolus 30 mins before, noting your ratio is typically significantly lower in the mornings Chinese food is FULL of sugar - and so bolus 30 mins before for it!

Also unfortunately some apps are not translated for Germans for example which is a bit sad. I personally use only loop, Dexcom and clarity app. I’m looking forward to try out SNAQ but not sure how well results will be. Maybe they can make use of LIDAR Sensor for better results.

6:54 For a while I also used to have issues doing bolus for cereals. But then I found out that the milk is the one messing with my values. I tried using unsweetened vanilla almond milk (only 1 carb per cup) and then just bolus on the carb count on the cereal. Although not perfect, it improved much better my BG after the bolus. Then, you just have to trial and error less insulin per carbs just with cereal because most cereals are mostly fibers. And if you have a pump, try delaying the insulin delivery a bit (fibers take longer to absorb). If you hate the flavor of unsweetened vanilla almond milk (and your cereal isn't sweet enough), just add a bit more of low/zero carbs, artificial sweeteners.
