Nutrition and exercise, two important aspects of tracking, are usually excluded from any form of management. TYD allows for easier input of these two variables. Nutrition can be added, by either selecting an item from a list of common foods or by scanning the items barcode, the system will pull data from various sources and collect the necessary nutrition information. Excerise is tracked by time, type, and intensity. This information will allow the user to understand the influence each activity has on their glucose levels.
