Who this log is for
This log suits people who test a few times a day and do not need to track insulin doses: type 2 diabetes managed with tablets or diet, prediabetes, or anyone whose doctor asked them to check now and then. The boxes are large, so it is also a good choice when someone with weaker eyesight fills it in.
How to fill it in
- Write the date at the start of each line, or set a first day before printing and the dates are printed for you.
- Write the reading from your meter in the box for that time. Leave a box empty if you did not test then.
- Use Notes for anything unusual: a missed tablet, a big meal, illness, a walk.
Testing only once or twice a day?
That is common. Fill in only the columns you use, or remove the ones you never need so the boxes get even bigger. Test at the times your doctor or nurse asked for.
Take it to your appointment
Bring the last few weeks with you. A page with dates and notes is quicker to discuss than scrolling through a meter, and it helps your doctor see patterns, such as mornings that are always higher.
Not medical advice. This log is a place to write down your numbers. Your target range, testing times and doses come from your doctor, diabetes nurse or clinic.
Questions
Can I add a reading after meals?
Yes. Use + Add time and name the column, for example After dinner. The other boxes get a little narrower to make room.
Can I print one or two weeks per page?
Yes. Choose Full page, then set Weeks per page to 1 or 2.
Does it fit in my meter case?
Choose Pocket card as the size. Two cards print on one sheet and each folds in half to A6.
mmol/L or mg/dL?
Choose the unit your meter shows. Most of Europe, Canada and Australia use mmol/L; the United States uses mg/dL.
Is it really free?
Yes. There is no account and nothing to install. You can print as many logs as you like.
