Affordable Tech Can Help You in the Fight Against Diabetes

While medications exist to help treat diabetes, each individual needs a custom action plan to stay as healthy as possible. Because every diabetic person’s journey is so variable, there’s no one-size solution for anything. Fortunately, technology offers users the unique opportunity to track what matters to them. You can receive timely advice on nutrition and lifestyle questions and take control of your diabetes — all with budget-friendly tech. Here are a few ways tech can contribute to your health so that you live your healthiest, sweetest life.

Choose the Right Fitness Device

For many people with diabetes, both type 1 or type 2, exercise is paramount. It helps regulate your blood sugar and can make your body more sensitive to insulin. But if you have trouble getting active, a fitness device can provide motivation and accountability.

A fitness tracker not only works as a tool for your workout regimen, but it can also help you monitor your health. Smartwatches like the Apple Watch detect falling incidents and activate an emergency system if you’re unable to get back up on your own. Other models like the Fitbit Versa 2 include a heart rate monitor and can keep track of what you eat and how much water you drink.

Even the ubiquitous smartphone is a nifty fitness tool. Furnish it with the right fitness apps, and you can pretty much exercise anywhere you want. For instance, you can get a portable stand to mount your phone on and fire up YouTube for a quick yoga session in your bedroom. And snag a few workout pieces from Anna PS; the built-in pockets allow you to keep your phone — or pump — handy during your exercise sessions and beyond.

Use Apps for Low-Cost Support

If you already have a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) or diabetic pod device, you may use apps to sync data and adjust your insulin delivery. Devices like the FreeStyle Libre communicate via your smartphone to report blood sugar levels and trends.

Beyond apps specific to your medical devices, other tools can support diabetes education and treatment. As the American Diabetes Association notes, checking your blood sugar is essential to effective diabetes management, so most tools include blood sugar tracking or charts. Noting factors like stress levels, activity, and foods eaten can help create a bigger picture of your health, too.

To help with tracking, check out free or low-cost app options like:

• Glooko, which syncs with your medical device, tracks exercise information, and provides nutritional information for reference (IE carb counts).
• BG Monitor, which helps track carbohydrates, calculate insulin amounts, and create reports you can share with your doctor or family.
• Glucose Buddy, an app and website that helps you track and report trends, record nutrition, and exercise, and communicate with other people with diabetes in forums.

Take Supplements to Help with Weight Loss

While severe weight loss can be a sign of diabetes complications, maintaining a healthy weight is crucial for people with diabetes. Sometimes, though, losing weight can seem nearly impossible. But for people with pre-diabetes or even the early stages of type 2, Endocrine Web notes even a 10 percent weight reduction can mean huge health improvements.

Continuing to check your blood sugar, managing your diet, and exercising are all smart steps toward better health (and weight loss). You can also add healthy supplements to encourage weight loss. As The Healthy explains, certainsupplements can help you ward off ailments while achieving a healthier weight. Omega-3s, for example, can reduce your risk of heart disease, which is heightened with diabetes. Extra fiber — like that found in psyllium — can help you manage blood sugar better, too. Supplements with high protein levels may also help you level off your blood sugar.

Whatever supplements you choose, note that affordability isn’t always an indicator of quality, so keep this in mind as you shop around. Of course, you should always consult your physician or nutritionist before adding a supplement to your routine since these can significantly affect your blood sugar.

While struggling to manage the condition can be emotionally draining, there are ways to make life easier. Harnessing the power of technology (and doing so affordably) can help make tracking blood sugar and reading labels not so intense. With apps, technology, and tools at the ready, you have a better chance of navigating this condition and not letting it hold you back from living the life you want.

About Lia
Hey!  I am a type 1 diabetic, diagnosed when I was 12. In addition to diabetes, skiing is a big part of my life. I have been skiing ever since me and my family moved up to Åre in Sweden. Two years ago I started at the Ski cross high school in Åre. This means a lot of training, Mostly skiing but also a lot of gym and fitness training. AnnaPS clothes is a life saver. It makes everyday life easier! I have had problems not knowing where to put my pump when I am training. With the Anna PS clothes it fits perfectly in the pockets and stay secure and is not bothering me. My favorite garment is the long-sleeved sweater, because it can also be used as an undergarment when I ski and for running and other activities when I want to be a little warmer.

Never let your diabetes stop you!
Lia´s tip to all diabetics is to never let diabetes stop you. It is a very tough disease to handle, but you can find your way to manage your diabetes. Get it to fit your life and not the opposite….

What Lia says about her insulin pump….

 Lia has a Tandem T:slim insuline pump with basal IQ and use a Dexcom G6. She loves the possibility this pump gives her to use a close loop system. She tells us she is very satisfied and so nice to get help to stop the basal dose when she is close to get a hypo (going LOW). This is a really help during sleep and exercise.

MAKE YOUR OWN HAND SANITIZER – REALLY EASY

You here find what you’ll need to make hand sanitizer at home. You might have several of these items around already, and if not, they’re likely more available than Purell is at the moment. We’ve included links to where you can get some of these ingredients online.

• 2/3 cup 99% rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol (in Sweden T-röd), for the alcohol
• 1/3 cup 100% pure aloe vera gel (or 1,5 tablespoon  glycerol from your Pharmacy+ 1/cup water) for moistening effect
• Optional: 10-15 drops essential oil for smell
• Optional: some drops of coconut oil
• Bowl and spoon
• Funnel
• Empty liquid soap or hand sanitizer bottle
• Optional: Gloves

How to make hand sanitizer in two steps

Step 1: Mix the rubbing alcohol, aloe vera and optional essential oil in a bowl with a spoon. Be careful to keep pure alcohol away from your skin.

Step 2: Funnel the mixture into the empty bottle. Screw the pump cap back on and voila, you have hand sanitizer.

Making hand sanitizer at home: Warnings

As easy as it is to make your own hand sanitizer, you should be aware that rubbing alcohol in high quantities can damage your skin. Make sure you stick to the 2:1 proportion to keep the alcohol content around 60%. You can also use gloves while mixing and follow up sanitization with hand moisturizer.

And we hope it goes without saying that hand sanitizer alone isn’t going to protect you from getting sick. Wash your hands with soap and water when it’s available, and limit how much you touch your face.

We also would love to share this wonderful video showing how to make the hand sanitizer.

Finally we have some of our very popular products back in stock. Now available in all sizes (X-small up to X-Large). We are expecting more products back in stock in Mars.

What is the closed loop?:

Hybrid Close Loop insulin pump means the pump+cgm together manage your diabetes and the insulin pump stop before lows and increase the insulin delivery when high blood sugar. The goal is to optimize the Time in Range.
Note: Time in range use to be approx 51% fore people on MDI(insulin pen)+CGM and 55% for people on regular insulin pump + CGM.

My results – and on my wish list:

What is coming?:

The big trend in the diabetes world

”I am Looping” is growing so fast. This means you are building your own Closed loop system. I have met a lot of T1D´s all around the world doing this and they are so satisfied. You need an insulin pump with open data (I know: Accu-chek combo, insight, Dana, Omnipod and old Minimed pump) with a CGM system (I know Dexcom) and sometimes you need a transmitter (a Riley link). You use an App on an Android to manage the system. I have seen fantastic results and I really understand that people are enthusiastic. But, these systems are not secured by the Goverments, not certificated by CE or FDA, only the separate pump and CGM system are. For me it is great to choose an available commercial hybrid closed loop insulin pump system and not build one by myself.

AnnaPS Founder invited to EASD!

Focusing on closed loop
EASD is the biggest diabetes congress in Europe. The congress gathers diabetes professionals from all around the globe to present the latest research within. All big company are showing their technology.
Anna was invited to participate in two events, the Roche Diabetes Care event and a Medtronic event. In this newsletter I have made some short notices from the visit at EASD. Let us show you.

Colorful insulin pumps!
Kaleido are now launching pumps in more countries in Europe.
One year ago this pump from Kaleido was launched in the Netherlands. It has a short tube and is attached to your body. It is like a patch pump but with the very short tube. It is managed from a PDM (Personal Diabetes Manager). There are a lot of colors to chose from and every user can choose 2 colors. Guess what colors are most popular? Black and silver!
This pump is not going to be connected to a closed loop system.

What about OMNIPOD and T-slim?

Omnipod´s new PDM (hand unit)
The new PDM looks and feels like a mobile phone, it has a touch screen and is very intuiative to use. You can just use it to manage your pump. Omnipod is developed by the company Insulet and they are working on a closed loop system together with Dexcom. It looks like it will take some years until it will be a reality. The project to release a cloosed loop system is called Horizon.

T-slim and cloose loop available in Europe this year
This is good news. Tandem has developed a new software where a kind of close loop is available. The system is called Basal-IQ with the technology to stop the pump before you are going to low, to reduce the risk of Hypo. Tandem will, within short start to hand out individual codes to all their T-slim pump users making it possible to download the software.

A closed loop system acting when high glucose level seems to be presented in 2 years. T-slim will act together with CGM Dexcom

” I am looping” is a huge trend!

This is a movement within the diabetes world and there is a lot of diabetics out there building their own closed loop system. I have met a lot of them and all of them are excited. These systems are better than all accepted system by FDA and CE. FDA and CE regulations are hard to follow and require so advanced safety systems the medical companies can’t act as freely as the users want. There is so much to write about regarding looping and I really want to make a specific newsletter on this topic. I will try to tell you what was presented at EASD by diabetics with their own experiences.

Recharge your old CGM transmitter!

One of the Loopers is Renza from Australia Diabetes Association with the blog Diabetogenic (https://diabetogenic.wordpress.com) . Here she shows her recharged Dexcom CGM. There are people all around the world rebuilding the transmitters so they can be used again and again. So keep your old stuff or give them to people who need them.

Finally I met Ulrike Thurm!

One of the comitted people to looping is the Diabetes and exercise guru Ulrike Thurm from Germany. She held a speech about looping at EASD and she was so enthusiastic. Ulrike knows “everything” about exercising and sporting with diabetes, also extreme sport. She is the Author of “the Bible of sport &diabetes” and it is a fantastic book. I know Ulrike since a lot of year as she found AnnaPS clothes to be helpful during exercise. She was so excited she mention them in her book. And now I was so happy to meet here in RL.

Makes diabetes suck less – is Mysugr’s slogan. The people working there really understand the life of diabetes, most of them being Diabetics. Mysugr is today a Roche company and A good news is that Mysugr now is developing the functionality of the new remote control to the Accu-chek insight pump. I hope this will be released very soon because Mysugr is a really cool company and I look forward to see a fast remote control to this great pump. It is so easy to reload and it is giving stable bs.
This pump is open source means it can be used to build a own closed loop system.

Medtronic 670G pump

Since two weeks I am testing this pump and it is great. At the EASD I had the chance to see the evaluation of this pump. The pump is stopping before low and increase basal insulin automatically when high. Studies show the time in range for this pump is as high as 73% compared to diabetics with pump+CGM without close loop being 55%. However the best thing is that the time in hypo is as low as 0,6%. At this event I had the great opportunity to share the one year experiences from other users and I got really useful tips. Especially about how to manage miscalculation of carbs.
This pump is the only commercialized pump with closed loop system.

Virtual meetings and e-learning from EASD

www.EASD.org is the place where all information about EASD is available. Now is it also possible to see all speaches virtually and also take part in e-learning. You find all this on the page.
What a fantastic possibility!

Singlets, both black and white are back in stock!

Makes you feel extra beautiful. Both colors are available in size XS, S, M, L and XL. Go to the tops here

Anna, the Founder of AnnaPS shows how she use the singlet.

Let me show you how I use my singlets. I often carry it underneath my regular clothes. You can see my white singlet under my favorite white shirt. The black singlet I wear underneath another similar top without pockets. This makes it possible to use a skirt and carry my insulin pump. In both these situations, it is very easy and convenient to take out and put back the pump. With the two pockets, I can carry sugar in the other pocket. It is very convenient. I hope this will also be a help in your life with diabetes.

Finally our popular multi pack is back!

We also have Women panties with double pockets back in stock. And our white panties!
