Hi,
I've been a diabetic for 20 years but only decided to start serious monitoring 3 years ago. I've been testing my blood 20-25 times a day for 3 years. Over that time I've switched from meter to meter and I'm now using the One Touch Ultra. It has some statistical analysis on it, but it's still poor (in my opinion). A few years ago I started with an Excel spreadsheet and it has evolved to a point where I find it to be very effective. It tracks a 24 hour period and has a graph. The user enters the time of the test and the reading. The sheet will calculate the velocity, acceleration and the jerk (the rate of change of acceleration) and has things like the day's average, mean and standard deviation. I've found that my doctor isn't interested in these numbers, but he does like the 7, 14, 30, 60 and 90 day averages that my meter produces. Anyway, if anyone is interested in my spreadsheet, I'll send it...
Cheers,
Trevor Keppel-Jones.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
