A blood sugar log is only useful if it is easy to keep and easy for the care team to read. Each day has large boxes for before and after breakfast, lunch and dinner, and bedtime, color-coded by meal. You fill in only the times you check.
Each month ends with a summary of the highest and lowest readings, any lows and what helped, missed doses and questions for the doctor. The reference pages cover the general targets from the National Institutes of Health, the 15-15 steps for a low, and the signs of high blood sugar.

Questions
Good to know
Do I have to check seven times a day?
No. There is room for up to seven checks a day, but you fill in only the times you check, as your care team advises.
Does it set my targets?
No. Your care team sets your targets, and the log has a page to write them down. The general targets from the National Institutes of Health are included for reference.
Can I fill it in on my phone?
Yes. Fill it in on a computer, or on a phone or tablet with the free Adobe Acrobat Reader app. Or print it and use a pen.
Which paper sizes are included?
Both US Letter and A4.
Is this medical advice?
No. It is a log for recording information to share with your care team. Never start, stop or change a medicine or insulin dose because of your readings without talking to your doctor first, unless your care team has given you a written plan. In an emergency, call 911.
Can I get a refund?
Because it is an instant digital download, all sales are final. If a file will not open or download, email sk@elderlydaily.com and we will make it right.
