Diabetes Management Software

I looked at some diabetes management software and decided that it was all too complicated. Same with calorie counting, although weight has never been a problem for me. (I am a post-op Whipple.)

Using the spreadsheet in 'Open Office' (which is free, just download & install it), I record my GL at wake-up, before lunch and before dinner. Using the total GL, divided by the total number of samples, gives me a progressive average. The averages have been confirmed by the laboratory blood tests done at the hospital.

The spread sheet can also display the results as a graph. Not very sophisticated, but it works for me.

As indicated above, I only test before each meal but you could also do tests at 2 hour post meals if you have the time and inclination.

I have uploaded a PDF file of this months readings if anyone is interested. The high points in the graph indicat the months when I was not using insulin due to my needle-phobia.

Cheers,
