When I started walking after my diabetes diagnosis, the first thing I did was buy a Fitbit Charge 3. Angie also bought one. That was December 2019 and they are now both dead.

I don't have the cash to buy a new one, but I'm already struggling with motivation.

Tracking my walking miles on a map has kept me going for more than 2,700 miles since the start of lockdown, which has made an enormous impact on my health.

I'll scrape up the cash for a Charge 5.

@davehogg My Fitbit charger recently failed on me so i feel your pain. I'm wondering if my phone has a built in pedometer... Without the creepy data collection that comes with stuff like that.

@Charlobo My Android comes with both Google Fit and Samsung Health, so I can use those and only be missing the sleep and heart rate tracking.

@davehogg you got me thinking... What if you get a letter of medical necessity from a doctor for a Fitbit... And it's covered by FSA?

@Charlobo That's a very interesting thought.
