BGL Introduction

Since I enjoy developing web pages and have diabetes, I decided to create an area on my website that allows me to update my blood glucose levels (BGLs) on the web from any computer. This worked great, so my next challenge was creating a page that shows some of my levels and some interesting stats for various time frames and events. This page is mainly for my own benefit, but I've made it public just to make it easier to show my results to Net connected health professionals as well as interested friends and family.

The idea is to keep the glucose levels between 3.5 mmol (63 mg/dl) and 7.7 mmol (140 mg/dl). Anything above 7.7 / 140 is considered 'high'. As you'll see, I'm still working on my diet and lifestyle to improve my results.

NOTES: Anywhere you see 2 numbers together such as '7.7 / 140', the first number represents the reading or average in mmol, the second represents the same in mg/dl format. I have set up this way so that it uses both the Australian format and the format that is used in the USA as I want for friends and family to have an idea of where I'm at in whatever format they are used to for their own glucose levels. Also 'Tea' as an event, referrs to dinner, or the USA 'supper' meal.
