Type 1 Diabetes Tracker
Track your type 1 diabetes symptoms, identify personal triggers, and gain AI-powered insights to better manage your condition.
Understanding Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes hits when your immune system decides to attack the cells that make insulin. Your pancreas basically stops doing its job, which means your blood sugar can swing wildly if you're not on top of it. And here's the thing - it's not something you did wrong. This is an autoimmune condition that often shows up in kids and young adults, though it can happen at any age.
Managing T1D isn't just about insulin doses. Your blood sugar responds to everything - what you eat, how you sleep, stress levels, illness, exercise, even the weather sometimes. Sound familiar? A lot of people find that tracking these factors helps them spot patterns their endocrinologist might miss during those brief appointments.
Common Symptoms to Track
The symptoms can vary day to day, and tracking their severity helps you understand what's normal for you versus when something needs attention:
- High blood sugar episodes (frequent urination, excessive thirst, blurred vision, fatigue)
- Low blood sugar episodes (shakiness, sweating, confusion, irritability, rapid heartbeat)
- Energy crashes that don't match your glucose readings
- Mood swings related to blood sugar fluctuations
- Sleep disruptions from nighttime highs or lows
- Digestive issues (gastroparesis is more common with T1D)
- Frequent infections or slow wound healing
- Unexpected blood sugar spikes despite following your usual routine
How to Track Type 1 Diabetes
Managing T1D is all about data - but it's not just your blood glucose meter you should be watching. Here's what really makes a difference:
Blood Sugar & Insulin Tracking: Log your glucose readings with context. Was it before or after meals? How did you feel? What was your insulin-to-carb ratio? Mouth To Gut lets you track blood glucose alongside everything else that affects it.
Food Logging That Actually Helps: Don't just count carbs - track the whole picture. Protein and fat affect your blood sugar too, just more slowly. Use photo logging to capture your meals, then voice log how you felt 2-4 hours later.
Sleep & Stress Connection: Poor sleep can make you insulin resistant, and stress hormones mess with your numbers. Track your sleep quality and stress levels - you might find your dawn phenomenon is worse after bad nights.
Exercise & Activity: Different types of exercise affect blood sugar differently. Weight training might spike you, cardio might drop you. Log your activities and see what patterns emerge.
Illness & Hormones: Track when you're sick, your menstrual cycle (if applicable), and any other medications. These all impact your insulin needs.
Lab Results Over Time: Upload your A1C, time-in-range data from your CGM, and any other lab work. Watching trends over months tells a bigger story than daily numbers.
Mouth To Gut makes it easy to log all of this in one place - and the AI finds patterns you'd never spot on your own. Like discovering your blood sugar runs high every Tuesday (maybe it's that stressful weekly meeting?), or that you need different insulin ratios during certain times of the month.
