[QUOTE="Buachaille, post: 20022, member: 1096"] The last post is good advice re testing. If you have a spreadsheet application, Excel, Lotus or the free open source Open Office version, key in the date(row 1), both data streams, (rows 2 and 3) calculate an average (row 4). Then use the software to plot both streams, the average and to calculate and plot the trend for each stream. Set and shade the 4-6 level on your graph. If the trend lines are heading towards the target its good news. If the trend moves away from the target you need to do something. Once you have sufficient data you can plot the results for all data, last 7 days, last 30 days and last 60 days - or whatever you fancy. This lets you see how you are progressing rather than reacting to one of readings. When the trend line for the last 30/60 days flattens out, hopefully within the target area, you've made it. Easy peasy. Don't let out spikes freak you. There are bad days along the way. [/QUOTE]
