Re: [Gnuplot-info] Plotting glucose levels for diabetes

[Norwid B. <nb...@ya...>]

Dear Dave,

back on [2021-11-21 Mon], you wrote to the user list seeking options to
monitor the level of glucose over multiple weeks.[1]

Though I do not know your familiarity with Emacs (both in terms of the editor,
as well as the ecosystem around it), nor orgmode[2], yesterday's presentation
«Health data journaling and visualization with Org Mode and gnuplot» by David
O'Toole equally dealt with monitoring similar data.  So I speculate it might
be of interest for you, or other subscribers to the list.

This approach includes a simplified input into a template, joining e.g., data
worth a month into a table, and generation of a diagram David demonstrated on
the ongoing EmacsConf 2022.[3]  His talk is available as a transcript,[4] and
as a video recording on youtube[5] of about 25 min.  David shares his template
(permissive MIT license) used on GitLab[6] for additional adjustments.

So far, the benefits extend beyond a monthly map David may share with his GP.
His diagram equally includes user-defined limits, these ease to spot the good
days in one category, or an other (e.g., at least x min of physical exercise,
no more than y tablets); then, the good days are quickly identified as are
possible correlations between the parameters seen, too.

With regards,

Norwid
