There's more to managing diabetes than tracking sugars. Periodic lab tests, understanding the test results, setting goals for the results of future tests, working to achieve those goals, and seeing your health care professionals regularly, are all important components of your diabetes care.

Designed by an endocrinologist, Diabetes Goal Tracker helps diabetics track goals relating to their diabetes care, including the results of blood and urine tests that should be completed on a regular basis. Medical examinations recommended by the American Diabetes Association, including eye exams, dental exams, foot care, and immunizations can also be tracked. You and your doctors will set goals for the results of the tests, and the timing of exams.

Whether a long-term or a short-term interim goal, if you set explicit goals you have a better chance of achieving them. Although your treatment plan is made in conjunction with your doctors and other healthcare professionals, you are the most important person when it comes to carrying out an individualized care plan. Education, setting goals, and having those goals in front of you, are important steps toward achieving those goals.

Diabetes Goal Tracker allows you to enter, update and track lab and other information as it changes or becomes available, view the latest information in the application on a Summary Screen; and periodically email yourself and print a formatted chart containing your goals and information. Putting your goals where you can see them - at your desk, next to your bed, or on your refrigerator, will act as a constant reminder of where you are, and where you want to be, helping you to achieve those goals.
