I’m trying to figure out an easy and thorough way to chart my blood glucose, carbs eaten (and possibly what I ate), exercise, insulin taken, etc. I have looked at My Project Diabetes (can’t look at notes easily- have to click on another link), Log for Life (can’t export), and Sugar Stats (can’t put exercise or what you eat unless putting it in comments). I also looked at Smart Charts for written charting.
Anything I’m missing that other people use?
I have just made my own, handwritten in a notebook.
example:
20 Levemir 8am
breakfast: (list food and #carbs.)
Humalog amt.
Exercise:
Notes:
I just write that for lunch and dinner and bedtime. I put the month on top and then make 30+copies I know it is “old fashion” but it works for me, plenty of roon to write notes, etc.
thanks! that could be a good idea so I can put down the information that is useful to me.
I am looking into this…

that is really cool! I wish I hadn’t just renewed my contract with T-mobile to get a new Blackberry! Wonder if they can get applications like this too…

ill keep an look out for more
oh too funny I just found this one by searching google too!
I use SparkPeople to log food and working out plus my levels, but I was using the DiabeticLiving’s Diet web site program - just had to stop because of the cost invovled in being a member (there you can log, your work outs, what you eat, carbs, bg levels, and an assortment of other stuff)
Before that site I just use to log it all into a spread sheet I made in excel, and before that pen and paper in a book that my mom got me when i was rather young (been charting carbs and what I ate since I was 10 years of age)
I use a big pad of lined paper. Columns from left to right: time, bg, bolus, carbs, notes. Notes would be exercise, food eaten, stress factors, new infusion set, rants and raves and swear words. I need plenty of room to write things down. My pump and 2 meters and Palm Pilot all upload to the computer, but then when I go to the doctor, he looks at the computer report, and I can look back and say, oh yeah, that day I had a cold, or didn’t exercise or whatever.
I also have to keep a separate log of where I rotate my infusion sets (picture on my page)
Hello,
Take a look at my page and you will find my own version of charting and it is color coded. This may give you some ideas on how to design your own chart. Let me know if I can be of any help.

It sounds like a lot of people are making their own. I like the way you can graph on some others- any way to do that on your own?
With my 722 from Medtronic, I use the carelink upload and enter specifics into the logbook. For example, if on 5/12/08 I had the flu, I would write it there, to know why my numbers were out of whack, or if I went to a party, went on a trip or so on.
I’m not sure what you are asking. I am uploading two files. Hope this works.

I am using Glucosurfer.org for my charts and I am feeding my log online with my mobile phone:
Here are my charts:

Use this link with your smart phone to test the feeding process via HTML (Blackberry, iPhone):

Use this link with your mobile phone to test feeding via WAP:

Of course you can feed your log online too. It is free of charge and can be used in full anonymity.

Depending on what meter you have, the company may actually have decent software, though you might have to pay for it. I have an Aviva, and their software is good and not all that expensive ($40 or so, including the cable linkage.) It’s got a lot of good graphing tools, etc.
