What is on the sheet
One row per day and one page per week: fasting, after breakfast, after lunch, after dinner, at bedtime, and a wide column for what you ate, medicines your doctor prescribed and how you felt.
At the top: your targets, whether you test 1 or 2 hours after meals, and the unit — mmol/L or mg/dL. These are left blank on purpose.
How to fill it in
Ask your care team for your targets and testing times and write them at the top before the first reading.
Write each reading with the time. After meals, test when your care team told you — usually 1 or 2 hours after a meal.
In the notes, write what you ate and anything unusual: a late meal, a walk, feeling unwell. It helps your care team understand the numbers.
Take the sheet to every appointment. If a reading is outside your targets, follow the plan your care team gave you.
Prefer your phone?
Ladna for iPhone keeps the same diary: fasting and after-meal readings, reminders 1 and 2 hours after a meal, entry straight from the notification. Your targets are the ones your doctor gave you; mmol/L or mg/dL.
The diary is free. A PDF report for your doctor comes with Ladna Plus.
Important
This sheet and Ladna are a diary, not a medical device. They don't diagnose or advise on treatment; your care team sets your targets and decides what to do with the readings.
