Hi linda,

Sounds like you need a CGM, continuous glucose monitor.  This is a sensor that 
attaches to your body, which comes with a reader that requires vision, but they 
also have an iPhone app.  The Freestyle libre CGM has an app that is 
accessible.  You can set high and low parameters which would trigger and 
audible alarm when reached.  There is also the Dexcom 6 which works pretty much 
the same way.  I can't vouch for the accessibility of the app for the Dexcom 
but someone here might be able to.

Andy

  Subject: Diabetes Management & Glycemic Index Apps


  Hi Everyone, 

   

  I an a non-insulin dependent diabetic. Recently diagnosed after having Covid. 
My knowledge of tools to manage blood sugar is limited to talking glucometers. 
My problem is this, my blood sugar drops so rapidly, by the time I realize 
there is a problem, it is too late. Are there any apps that would work along 
with a patch that could alert me to the fact my sugar is dropping rapidly? I am 
afraid to work my dog outside alone for fear of having a severe hypoglycemia 
attack. 

   

  Also, has anyone found an accessible app for determining the glycemic index 
of various foods? 

   

  Thank you in advance, 

   

  Lynda
