  1. Hi,

    New to the LC scene (as I'm sure you will be able to tell from the future
    number of questions) - as background I'm 58, diabetic, #211 and want to try
    the low carb approach to watching my blood sugar...

    From reading the posts, I guess the first place to start is keeping a food
    log or daily diary for food intake, blood sugar reading, etc...and was
    wondering if anyone had a spread sheet (I have Excel) or worksheet they
    would like to share?

    Look forward to contributing to the group as I learn more...

    Thanks -

    John

    John,

    Ask again on alt.support.diabetes (or check out people's sig lines, if
    you're feeling shy). There's 3 or 4 people who have done clever things with
    Excel, etc and post URLs to them regularly. Personally, I have an Excel
    spreadsheet going back a year to my own diabetes diagnosis that shows pre,
    1hr and two hour post prandial readings for most of my regular meals, plus a
    daily log that now might show only 2 or 3 readings a day, just to check
    there's no surprises. Not a lot of use to you, though, because it's just a
    notepad really - it's in Excel just so I can do pretty graphs : )

    I use the daily food form, and weight print-a-chart myself.

  5. tried http://www.fitday.com ?

    (I have no connection to Fitday, except as a download customer.)

    It is not a spreadsheet, but I think it is better.
