That's kind of my thought on this. Thanks to my FitBit I have a log of most things I ate, how much I excersized, and how much I weighted going back over a year. It's not perfectly accurate (forgetting to weigh in, choosing to slack off on food entry, forgetting my FitBit) but it's a hell of a lot better than I would do otherwise.

I can see, objectively, if I seem to be getting more or less exercise, or if I'm gaining or losing weight. Having every measurement of someone's glucose if they are diabetic has got to be very useful.

Not everyone will keep records, not everyone who does will use it. But in the cases where someone does it seems like it should be beneficial in more than a few cases.
