Type I diabetics need to manage a lot of information to keep their blood glucose levels healthy. Many have logs of their data, such as blood glucose concentrations and insulin doses. A large number of tools exist to help with this, such as Glucose Buddy. If you're logging the data yourself, you probably already know the trends in the data just from looking at each data point as it comes, but it can be harder to compare details across larger time intervals, say maybe if blood glucose values were more variable in the morning, from one month to the next. In this article I wanted to discuss a number of different ways to represent the insulin doses graphically.
