I took all of Chris' BG tests for 2008 - 326 of them! - and graphed them from lowest to highest BG value just to see how many of his tests are under 200 mg/dL and how many are over.
I record all of his tests, food amounts, medications given, and heart rate checks in an Excel spreadsheet and have always found it easier to analyze blood sugar trends with a visual chart for curves.
Thought I'd share it. When I first did this, I had the readings graphed chronologically but I couldn't really see the big picture that way. This sorting of the readings from lowest to highest told me what I wanted to know - how much time Chris' BG spends below 200.
