Online BG Diaries

I've have just started using the diary today and I have to say its very good, very easy to use and I will certainly continue to use is through my pregnancy and beyond. I have only one criticism and that is I am finding it difficult to identify my low BM's as they are highlighted the same colour as the times in blue. Is there a chance that you could change them to a different colour? I haven't read all of the entries on this forum but I wouldn't be surprised if some people are finding it difficult to tell the difference between the red and the green as well due to colour blindness.

The rest is great!

Garry - apologies for the delay in replying to you, I've been concentrating on the iPhone app, but now that is almost done I can revert to improving the diary on the site. You're right that request is a lot of work, but I will definitely take a look at it and see how far I can take it!

Kate - First of all congratulations on your pregnancy! You raise some good points about the colour schemes and I'll certainly make some changes to make them more accessible for people who are colour blind/partially sighted.

Hi

The built in target levels for the diary has before driving as 4.5 - I thought it had to be 5 to drive.

Karl - good spot, thanks for that - that's now rectified.

Hi Simon,

I don't seem to be able to leave the date field blank in the diary any more - has something broken?!!?

Thanks
Steven

Having said that, the second page of readings were accepted without complaint! :-/

Hi Simon,
I've been enjoying the "Diabetes Results to You" thread on the general discussion forum, and wonder whether in addition to having the on-line diary facility for storing our BG results etc. we could have somewhere on the site where we could enter and store things like hbA1c, cholesterol, blood pressure results etc. for easy access and retrieval, and perhaps comparison over time? I know that I've got stuff like this on various letters, cards etc. but it would be nice to be able to store it together on-line. Something like that would enable me to bring together results from various sources (GP vs Hospital Clinic for example - it seems that everytime I go anywhere near my GP surgery someone takes my blood pressure!).

Like you Stew I prefer to keep as much as I can in the same place.
Quick fix though if you wish...
Have just been to see our DAFNE diabetic nurse and got latest HbA1c and weight figures and I enter them on the day in the Comments field - both in my DAFNE diary and in the Online diary too.
Not sure what the field character limit is on the Comments field...but I have not been limited yet.
Best Wishes Garry

Just checked and field appears to be 200 characters...so should be plenty for most text entries.

Thanks Garry. That's a good point, but I'd also like to see the records "collected" together so that, for example, all my hbA1c's can be seen in date order.
