I'm using the proprietary #mySugr Android app to sync the data from my glucometer (and I'd love to replace it with something open source). One of the app's features is giving points for data input. Enter blood sugar, you get points, enter carbs, points, enter insulin doses, points, tag, points. You get the idea.

Now, insulin doses are split into meal and correction doses. Both grant points separately.

Effectively, this means that if you repeatedly suffer from elevated blood sugars and need to correct them, you get more points than if you're well in range. Makes sense, right?

@mgorny gamification in general is a good idea - helps to stay consistent with habits

Playing life on higher difficulty gives you more points. Sounds reasonable 🤔
