When you open the Chart window you are met with the Chart Data Dialog. This screen will help you select the data and date ranges you wish to chart.
The selections and a brief explanation follows:
- Chart range - Sets the upper limit of the scale on the chart. 300 would be a good choice for readings that are normally below that. If you wish to chart your "carbs" only or use the Bg entries to do A1C data you may wish to set the range to 15 or 20.
- Normalize carbs - Raises the value of carb readings by the power of ten in order to show up better on the graph. This is most useful when trying to visualize the relationship between the users "Daily average" BgLevels and his or her carb intake.
