First of all, thanks for such an awesome piece of software - I use the newer BD Logic monitor in order to input my insulin injections along w/ BG numbers - one place for all. But BD Logic software is terrible - the reports are frustrating and basically useless to me. Your software is much easier to use and modify times, correct input mistakes, etc. - Thank you!

Now, a quick report question - is there a simple log report that could just have the date and then the various time slices w/ bg number and insulin injections:

Date    Fasting   Post Breakfast Pre Lunch Post Lunch Pre Supper Post Supper Bedtime
8/30    87 15 NPH, 25 Bolus

I read through the template creation instruction but it was a little more than I could manage.

What I really need is a report that I can take in that has a month's worth of data on one or two pieces of paper - all the reports I've looked at are too long.

And, my one small suggestion - at some point, would it be possible to add a small picture to each of the templates - so before downloading and then generating (a slow process on my older laptop), I could just look at the image and see what kind of report and then decide if the layout might work?

Thanks in advance - and again, I'm happy to have the product and will be purchasing soon.

Hi Michelle,

thanks a lot for your comments! Although we love to hear praise (who doesn't? ) the other things were much more important, especially your suggestion with the preview pics for the templates. This thing was improved a few months ago but when I now saw your post I went back to sidiary.org and was taken aback about the fact that I just enhanced the German list of the templates with the preview link and forgot the english web-template of this webpage. 
Sorry for that, I promise to fix this in a few minutes!

Second, about the templates themselves: Perhaps you could wait for the previews and identify the most compact layout and use this template to reduce some more details to get even more days on a single page?! The most compact layout is a single data list (included as a csv-template) and I think the Excel template "DiaByte" (provided from this forum's Ralf ) is very close to your requirements, since Ralf puts the data from SiDiary into time slots before / after breakfast etc. and his template will have a complete moth of data on one single page. So maybe this helps?

Cheers, Alf.

Preview is now included!

Cheers, Alf.

The previews are great - very helpful. The diabyte report is the most compact - but still a bit too much info. to take into my doctor. I will try and play with it and get the size and info. down to what they want to see. Thanks again.

PS - Like I said though, you have a much better program than BD - maybe they'll take some pointers for their very much overpriced program :-)

Maybe a small hint: if your doctor decides to use SiDiary too (actually physicans can get it for free; they only should drop us a line), you could send your data to him by email. Then he only needs to launch the mail's attachment and he could see all your data as well as you do.
