Any blood test result after midnight goes on to the chart for the next day.

I have just discovered a setting that allows you to change the time your diary day ends. So no more split charts!

This is brilliant for me!

1/ go to your diary.
2/ scroll to the bottom then click "click here to edit your diary settings" this is in blue.
3/ A heading of "blood glucose diary settings" will come up.
4/ Look for "diary day ends at"
5/ Use the input box to add your new time.

I can use this as well when I am abroad and have to allow for the time difference.
There are other settings here which you can change as well.

If you know this already then you're my granny and here are the eggs.

Have been controlling this by a little lie to myself...whenever I see 23:55 as a time I know that I was late to bed.
Surprising number of 23:55s over the years Embarassed
Thanks for reminding me about this.
I did discover the diary modification option a while ago but had got used to my existing system and so have not used it.
