Thanks to Amy Tenderich for the kind invitation to guest post on her prestigious DiabetesMine.com blog! I had the opportunity to share with her readers about TuAnalyze. Here are a few lines from the post. I invite you to read the whole thing on her blog and, if you haven’t yet signed up for TuAnalyze, do so please!
... beyond the cool effect: What’s the point of mapping diabetes data?
- In the short term, the application certainly offers you a convenient place to track your own A1C data. Is this something you can do elsewhere? Absolutely. But…
- Once the states start to light up (as of this writing, CA, TX, FL and NY are lit up), you can also see how your own numbers stack up against other people entering their A1C in your own state. You can view the total number of entries for the state, plus the average, low and high values and how the data entered are spread throughout the spectrum.
- Also, as pointed out by Ginger Vieira from Diabeteens, “it’s hard to feel alone… when you can look at a map lit up with A1Cs of all kinds and ranges across the entire country!”
