How do you post BGL levels on the food diary? Also, I have noticed that some have times with their meals and snacks not just at the end of the day. How do you do that on the diary?

    MFP does not have this option.

    I know of a free site that is like MFP but a lot more diabetic friendly so you can post your diabetes blood glucose, A1C, etc , exercise videos, groups, etc It is called www.sparkpeople.com. I am actually using both. I like my friends here.

    Some of us post our BG levels in the food notes sections.

    Some of us break up snacks; i.e. midmorning, mid afternoon, evening

    or some just use the heading Snacks and just add snacks each tiime they eat

    MFP does allow you to change the labels (name headings) in your food diary.

    You can make changes by clicking on "settings" at the top of the MFP page and you should be at the page where you can change what you track and how meals are listed.

    I have a paper notebook that I put this in. I mostly use MFP for reference to find calories, carbs, etc but I will write down one page in chrono order like fasting BS... what I eat and readings after that, when I exercise and readings before & after (when I take them). I like seeing everything on one page.

    You can create new Check-In entries, under My Home > Check-In. You can create separate entries - pre-breakfast, post-breakfast, etc. It's a clunky way to do it, but it's at least something.
