I'm tired of browbeating myself for my idea, because others have similar things. I'm ready to put my energy into this to get things going, and I am doing this for me, but there will be more people that can benefit if this works.

Diabetes is a lifelong disease that's more than just numbers. Numbers are huge, as anyone will tell you, but emotion, passion, fear, hate, disgust, and acceptance from yourself and your loved ones is important.

Why can't both of them be in the same spot?

I want to create a diabetes log that has empahsis on emotion and numbers both, but makes it easier for people to tie this into their lifestream. I want to be able to post my numbers to Twitter automatically, and tie in blog post links about what is happening to get these numbers. FriendFeed and laconi.ca too.

Here's an example:

When you login, Quick Entry options will include BG, food, exercise, and mood, so you can get the basics done right. If you have a few more minutes, then you can expand on this, and post to your blog, and tie the blog post to the sugars in this log's database. This will make things easier for tracking.

I know this isn't the full design, but I want to get people excited about this like I am. I'm on vacation and working on the full mind map and basic structure so I have a better idea.

Why am I doing this? I am a binge eater, very emotional. I am also one of those people that if I don't see it in black and white, I don't think it's existing. At this point, I care if people would like to use it, but if I'm the only one that uses this to help my family help me, that's what counts.
