So I've done the last seven days of this
https://www.accu-chek.com/us/data-management/testing-in-pairs.html

Any comments on this would be welcomed also how do you think my mealtime ratios are?

My current ratios are:
2:10 - breakfast
1:10 - lunch
1:10 - teatime

I changed the lunchtime ratio on Tue 26/03 from 1.5:10 to 1:10 as I was getting hypos before tea.

Hi
I won't comment on your readings at this stage, have you tried Using the auto calculate QA tool on the Dafne app home page, you can turn it on in settings.
Its only a guide but along with the entries page it can prevent mistakes in how much QA you take
I found it very useful
On your chart its very important to take your BI injections at the same time to give no cross overs of dosage depending on your insulin some work for the full 12 hours others don't but that depends on the patient speak to your Dafne nurse if your unsure
Your diary has missing entries. To see a pattern to act on the more information the better
The entries you make for bed time and breakfast are used for the BI during that period remembering the BI will last for 12 hour
A carb free meal will determine if your BI is correct for the day time again check with your Dafne nurse
The QA is determined on what you estimate your cp amounts are, this is always a tricky one over and under estimating can throw your BG readings which can cause confusion.
I use a controlled period to get me back on track if I drift out of target' ie use known weights of cp amounts.
This removes the confusion and makes the calculation of QA much easier. When your target is back on track you can revert back to estimating.
I do this every 3 or 4 months for a week may not work for you, but it keeps me in control of my condition
