Now that Groundhog Day is here, we know Spring is going to
arrive early.
But until then, Winter poses some special challenges in
managing blood glucose – it’s tougher to stay active, heavy “comfort foods” may
be especially alluring, and the “winter blues” can reduce your motivation to
stay on track with your glucose testing and healthy diet.
Keeping a diary or journal can help you keep things under
control. Seeing the ups and downs of
your blood glucose levels can motivate you to “keep up the good work,” or
remind you of the importance of watching your diet and exercise. But on the other hand, writing down numbers
in a log book (or even typing them into your Smartphone) can become another
barrier keeping you from your goals.
You can remove the extra step of manually recording your
readings with a Bluetooth-enabled glucose meter paired to a smartphone app
eliminates that extra step – the data uploads automatically, so it’s one less
thing to do. The ForaCare Test‘N Go Blood Glucose Monitor can pair with an iPhone or Android phone and
automatically upload your glucose measurements to an iFORA Smartphone app.
And since your Smartphone is almost always with you, it’s
easy to check your progress anywhere, any time.
Like when you’re waiting for your table at the restaurant – and seeing
that your glucose has been really good this week can inspire you to keep the
streak going. And that can give you the
will power to order the side salad instead of fries to go with your sandwich.
So let’s be happy that Punxsutawney Phil didn’t
see his shadow, so we are in for an early Spring. And with the Test ‘N Go Blood Glucose Monitor
and iFORA Smartphone App helping you stick to your testing schedule and your
healthy diet, you can also be happy when swimsuit weather arrives early.
