A new episode of Diabetes Day by Day is here! Join Drs. Neil Skolnik and Sara Wettergreen as they dive into the world of mobile health technology and how it’s shaping diabetes management. With so many apps for tracking blood glucose (blood sugar), counting carbs, and logging fitness activities, it can be tough to find the right one.

In this episode, we welcome Susan Weiner, MS, RDN, CDCES, FADCES, a nutrition, health, and diabetes expert with knowledge of diabetes-related apps, and Bridget Wood, RD, LD, CDCES, who has lived with type 1 diabetes for over 15 years and has firsthand experience with apps that can assist with diabetes management.
