First. I want to thank you all for your responses.
Second. I do not know how to add "user links"
This is what I actually do each morning:
Write the date in my log book.
Record the blood sugar level.
Write a comment if level is too high or too low.
Maybe once a month record my weight.
The log book is purely for reference. Since I started recording in December of 2021, I have no need to sort anything, as everything is logged 'by date'. My blood sugar meter keeps track of the last 7, 14, 30, 60 and 90 day averages.
I can understand the need to 'break down' the fields for refining sorting and the purpose of reporting. I have never used SQL or SQLITE and it 'seems' awfully complicated to manage a simple text file of data.
Bplus. "Are you sure you don't want us to write this for you?"
This old saying would answer that question better than I could... "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime."
Is there a tutorial, using basic, to create a simple database? If not, no drama, I will just continue using the log book. Just thought it might be fun to make an application. I do appreciate all your suggestions and apologise if my responses sound ungrateful. That was not my intent....
This was all a 'spur of the moment' idea... (bplus. stop chuckling...) Perhaps I need to research this more deeply. In the meantime, to quote a questionably rated SciFi movie, 'Shall we play a game?' lol
