I enjoy your love of data!
I don't have advice to give, but I enjoyed looking at your graphs. Looks like you have just started TR?

We just started everything, took a while to learn TR but I'm almost there!

I'm a data geek and I haven't been able to make much sense out of it either. Sorry, all I can do is empathize very much.
Sue and Luci explained how the cat pancreas (and liver) works in my condo yesterday. It is great info to take into consideration.

Math geek here too.
A couple things will make patterns on the SS easier to see. First, you are colouring your dates in blue and green. Those colours are used for BG numbers, so having them in there are distracting. Over time, I've learned to "follow the colours" ie. numbers for patters. So I'd start by picking a colour not used on the spreadsheet for BG. Second distracting thing is the fed columns. Any chance you could move that information over to the Remarks? Those are wide columns and mean I can't see 24 hours of data on the spreadsheet without scrolling left/right or shrinking it really tiny. And I'm currently looking at things on a laptop. As long as you are feeding foods within a couple carb % of each other, it's not that important to record exact carbs. Manufacturing batches of the same food can differ that much.
Lastly, patterns typically occur over several cycles. When Neko was on Lantus, I had a particular 3 cycle pattern that told me she was thinking of diving low.

Thanks, Wendy. I've made changes to the file to make it easier and I'll consider 3 week patterns!

You may want to look around at some of our other SS's...see if you can see the pattern in Luci's SS...she's got a pattern alright...not the one I'd like, but it's a clear pattern...
I don't really think you have enough data at various times...plenty of data..but not for long enough...is it possible to get BG's at different times of the day/night?
I agree with Wendy, it really helps to standardize your SS...it's easier for studying IMHO...

All set. Will look at other SSs as well. Thanks!
