Blood Glucose Levels for Diabetics type 2?!
Question: I want to be able to have a 7, 14, & 30 day Average of my Blood Glucose Levels. I measure it between 1 & 6 times every day. These averages will help me monitor the BG levels and help to maintain a healthy ave.
Does anybody out there in cyberland have a solution for me?
I am using excel 2003.
Thanks In Advance
Answers:
List your readings in a vertical column (you will have to decide which readings out of the up-to-6 a day you are taking, or I suppose you can average them daily using the same means I am giving you here).
In a blank cell by your list enter the formula =AVERAGE(r1:r7), where r1 is the first daily number and r7 is the 7th daily number. Use the same format for 14 days (r1:r14) and 30 days (r1:r30). If you wish to average the several daily readings, list those horizontally and, to their left, enter the =AVERAGE formula, then use those averages in your daily average formulas.

Hi
Introducing any new medications can alter your reading as well as any dietary changes.
You do not state your medication, or if you are on oral or shots both have varibles.

My grandson has the pump. We were given equipment to put on computer that reads the levels. We can take these readings to the doctro and he will know exactly how grandson's sugar has been.
The pump is so wonderful. Do you have the pump?

Type 2 diabetes is diagnosed with the following blood tests:
Fasting blood glucose level -- diabetes is diagnosed if higher than 126 mg/dL on 2 occasions.
Random (non-fasting) blood glucose level -- diabetes is suspected if higher than 200 mg/dL and accompanied by the classic symptoms of increased thirst, urination, and fatigue (this test must be confirmed with a fasting blood glucose test).
Oral glucose tolerance test -- diabetes is diagnosed if glucose level is higher than 200 mg/dL after 2 hours.
