How can I log my own meals?

If you prefer a different meal plan than the ones provided in the app, you can still log your meals with MyDiabetes.

To log a meal, start here:

1. Click the + icon at the bottom menu.
2. Click Other food.
3. Choose which meal of the day you want to log and click Add food.
4. From there, you can (A) search for foods in our database or (B) use the barcode scanner.

A. To Search for Foods:

1. Enter an ingredient or a meal into the search.
2. Tap + by the food you had.
3. Fill in the food's weight or pick a serving size.
4. Tap Add food.
5. If you have more to add, use Add more.
6. If you want to easily access the meals later, click Save to My meals. They will appear in My meals tab.
7. Finish by tapping Log.

B. Using the Barcode Scanner:

1. Tap the scanner icon by the search.
2. Let the app use your camera if asked.
3. Put the barcode in the frame to scan, or tap to type the code in.
4. After scanning, fill in how much you ate and hit Add food.
5. If the code doesn't work, you can put the food in manually using the earlier steps.
