Great log? Sorry to have mislead you. I just flipped through most-recent meter numbers. That's the first time I've done so. It doesn't interface with the computer... I generally fly by the seat of my pants, remembering "recent enough to be of concern" food and boluses.
I tried to start keeping detailed logs, but it was too time-consuming. What you might do instead is to experiment with individual foods, seeing how your body reacts to specific items. I think of foods in terms of "a little more rapid next time", "not so much R", "better start eating ten minutes later", et cetera.
I'm now quite familiar with favorites: bananas, dates, Kashi cookies, pancakes, potato-based soups, raisins, rice (brown and wild), spaghetti.
Of course, I believe part of my high Monday afternoon readings were due to seriously-underestimated potato consumption at lunch... so "falling out of the habit" of certain foods carries a price.

I was daily, with a sub-50 or two each week. Fortunately, my lows now are about 10 mg/dL higher since changing basals.
IIRC: The first six weeks of the year, I only had one >200 reading, and four sub-40s. Not long after, things got uglier...
