Havnt used them myself, but there are various free ones out thereFor those who are using excel, do you have any good templates to share?
I have looked at Vertex's templates and they are very good, I use the Open Office ones they have as they work with Libre Office.For those who are using excel, do you have any good templates to share?
Disagree. I used mine to a) trim the timings and doses of meds, (b) show the GP and get agreement to change scrips accordingly, (c) justify my use of SMBG and get GP to supply second meter and strips on scrip. (d) to show to other HCP that the LC diet I am using is working for both weight control and bgl control, and BP lowering. (d)+1 Use in discussions with other diabetics how I have turned my condition around (f****) No I am not swearing, but that is the next letter - Impress the Mormons to educate them in LC ways since they are coming tomorrow to discuss this very topic. Makes a change eh? (g) share info with forum members to demonstrate that I am expressing my own experiences not some fantasy adventure,That was on another thread responding to a suggestion from you that we should have some kind of sub fora for people to post their individual data - I think my view on that is very clear from the post you have quoted. Numbers are very important at an individual level, but almost completely irrelevant beyond that level, although the means of data capture and entry are more broadly relevant beyond the individual
Do you/can you download your Libre data into the spreadsheet?I use an excel spread sheet and have done since 2014. I designed it myself.
All my meter test results are on there, plus BP, cholesterol & lipids, liver & kidney functions, full blood counts, vitamin and mineral test, weight, HbA1cs, Libre data, and food diary (although I got fed up with this and stopped keeping it in October)
I have graph data for all my meter tests split into fasting, before each meal, and after each meal at different times (1 hr, 90 mins, 2 hrs, 2.5hrs and 3hrs. ) plus bedtime.
At the moment I am having a testing holiday. I stopped on 10th November but am using a Libre. I only use my meter at the moment for some comparison tests with the Libre.
sorry I have a DIY logbook.For those who are using excel, do you have any good templates to share?
I wasnt saying there was no purpose / point in recording data. - its an obvious and Inwould say essential part of self management of any chronic health conditionDisagree.

Yet you seem unable to keep away...pointless exercise which I would find incredibly boring
I tend to agree - my eyes glaze over every time I glimpse a graph that has no meaning or context for me. No doubt of use to the person who made it, but I doubt of much use to anyone else. Same reason I never go into any of the BG posting threads - somebody else's BG levels hold absolutely no relevance for me personally.I wasnt saying there was no purpose / point in recording data. - its an obvious and Inwould say essential part of self management of any chronic health condition
What I was saying was that individuals posting their individual data onto a forum covering a varied audience with a whole range of diabetic diagnoses and where there are already multiple sub fora dedicated to sharing data appears like a pointless exercise which I would find incredibly boring.
I think that presents a challenge to anyoneDo you/can you download your Libre data into the spreadsheet?
The reason I started to do a few graphs was to get up my GP's (at the time) nose, she demanded a paper logbook she supplied.my eyes glaze over every time I glimpse a graph that has no meaning or context for me. No doubt of use to the person who made it, but I doubt of much use to anyone else.
Not sure if anyone is interested but I was wondering how many of us take great care in recording things like food intake, BG levels weight etc and like playing with data.
I have a relatively simple Excel spreadsheet that I use but I'm also interested in apps or other tech stuff that other forum members use to record their personal data.
Thought I'd start this thread to see what others are using and exactly how nerdy we all are!
Feel free to stick up anything you like or recommendations for tech tools.
Thanks

Hi. I have recently been using a Freestyle Libra sensor and am a bit confused with the morning readings. I tested on waking and levels had been between 4.5 and 5.3 throughout the night by the time I'd had a shower and tested again before breakfast it was 7.9!! This is on the high side for me. Is this normal to have these spikes without eating or drinking anything?Yep I've created quite a few graphs..
FBG for example

That's 2018 so far.. the odd straight line bit is in June where we were on hols and I left the meter at home... Dips are when doing extended fasts
Not a T1 so not sure.. could be your basal running out? Maybe start a new thread in the T1 area and you'll get more visibility?Hi.
