I was recently diagnosed with diabetes (ugh!) and not only do I need to 
track my glucose levels but also the time of day; the latter is just as 
important, involving a test two hours after a meal.  The times of the 
meals are also important; it's not your "Western" diet i.e. three 
meals/day, but what I may as well call the "Eastern" diet i.e. snacking 
throughout the day with no major meal.

My GP wants to see a table of this, but I lean towards a plot instead; the 
application that came with my meter is a bit tricky to interpret.

The problem is how to represent the time; I can think of three ways:

1) A fractional day; hard to compute and interpret.

2) Coloured bars; I don't have a working inkjet.

3) A 3-D graph with the Z axis as the time, resulting in a wiggly line.

Any ideas on how to do it?

Thanks.
