Background
When I was diagnosed with Type 2 in 2011, I wasn’t told why I got it. The doctor simply said, ‘if you are over 40, have someone in the family with diabetes, then you’re likely to get it’. And I was prescribed Metformin and statin. End of discussion.
Since then I’ve been doing a lot of research online and offline to understand why people get diabetes.
I found the answers and explanations from various online sources (Personally I found Dr. Berg’s YouTube channel extremely useful) and books (‘The case against sugar’ by Gary Taubes) in understanding the condition. I discovered keto and low carb recipes which have helped me keep my sugar levels in check.
So with all the information I’ve gathered over time, I designed GlucoTrak to help fellow diabetics deal with the condition and make informed decisions.
GlucoTrak is a compilation of all the information I personally found useful, in one app. I hope it helps you the way it helped me keep my sugar levels under control and stay healthy.
T&C
This is not a replacement of consultation with your doctor or medical advice nor is it a definitive source. All the information given in the GlucoTrak app is to be used at the discretion of the user. Always consult your doctor before making any changes to your lifestyle. You can use the app to understand what diabetes is and achieve clarity on how to manage the condition and make informed decisions. Personally I found that a combination of the right diet and regular exercise is useful in controlling my sugar levels. Stay healthy.
