Hey Mark, This is a great article. Thanks for sharing it.
I have been using these features for about 3 years now with my Dexcom Continues Glucose Monitoring System (CGM). I just now have discovered an insulin pen called “EnPen" that will track every time I take my rapid acting insulin and it’s app will sync everything with both DexCom and the Apple Health app. It’s almost like having an insulin pump. I can also track carbs and calculate the insulin dose for the before mentioned carbs. It will share this data with both the DexCom and Apple Health app as well. I use the Apple Health app to bring all of the health data from all of my tracking apps. It seems to work better than most health tracking apps on the market. The Apple Health app is getting a major improvement in iOS 13 on the iPhone and it makes tracking and reading data much easier than it was. Ed W. > On Sep 4, 2019, at 7:40 PM, M.
