Adjusting my medication has been a challenge. I signed up with One Drop when they had a promotional offer before Christmas. Though right now, I want to maximize my insurance benefits.<\/p>\n
Since I had been using the Medtronic sensor, and because I was hoarding supplies, I have quite a bit of test strips \u2013 and infusion sets, etc.<\/p>\n
OneDrop has been helping me on using test strips and I\u2019ll use it to insure I keep getting enough test strips \u2013 right now I\u2019m limited to 4 a day <\/p>\n
Anyway, when I first went on Victoza, I had a few lows. The first change was to drop basal dosages by half and stop bolusing for meals. The OneDrop system helped me realize that wasn\u2019t working, I was running high. For me, that\u2019s a problem because it makes me crave carbs too much. So I tried bolusing half the rate I was. That works really well.<\/p>\n
It took me a while to figure out that everything syncs, on the iPhone. I have no idea if it does on Android.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s pretty easy to get that to work, I had the activity tracking on my Apple Watch working first \u2013 it was pretty easy to figure out, since I added OneDrop to one of my sources in Apple Health, and turned on all the categories. I was logging my food with OneDrop that works pretty well. It has most of the food I eat, even Jenny Craig, and can use the camera to read bar codes. But I\u2019m already a premium member with MyFitnessPal. Guess what, if you have all your MyFitnessPal set up as a source and have all the categories turned on, that data will sync in OneDrop and you only have to log in one place.<\/p>\n
Guess what \u2013 my scale will Sync too. I have Nokia scale which talks to my WiFi. Again, I had to go to sources, add it and make sure that all the categories are turned on.<\/p>\n
And their Apple Watch app is nice \u2013 I can log blood sugar checks and bolus adjustments with it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
