Minimed just created a new report in Carelink- Logbook view. It takes periods of the day and makes a grid showing all boluses and blood glucoses during that period. Very helpful. It's the first Carelink report that I think I could actually use to replace my logging and take to my endo. Now, if only they had one that broke it up by before/after meals and took the tags from the meter to determine what is what, it'd be PERFECT.

Good job Minimed on the Carelink improvement.

This is precisely why I prefer the summary report from Lifescan. I use both sets of reports (Carelink and Lifescan), but I like the reports I upload from my OneTouch UltraSmart a little better.

The software is free, but the cable costs about $30 if I remember right. It is very interesting to compare the OneTouch reports from before I got my pump until now. The results are dramatic.

Lifescan's fatal flaw is that they don't include times a bg was taken in their logbook view. Also, rather than group all bgs taken in one box, they create a separate box if you take more than one reading in a time period. And their meters take too much blood and still need coding, which is why I don't use them.

where is this report? Perhaps it is not on Australian version as yet. It sure would help.

Yes, I'd guess it's only US version so far. It's right with the reports on the left side bar as an option. It's not the sensor logbook report.

Hmm, I use a Freestyle Lite, and just input all my BG's through the Bolus Wizard. That does pretty much the same thing right?

Yep, that gets all the bg's in carelink too. That's exactly what I do as well. Same meter and everything
