Blood sugar log booklet with 12 weeks of readings, folded to purse size

This blood sugar log booklet is printed at home and folded into a small glucose record that slips into a purse: 28 undated pages holding 12 weeks of daily readings, laid out on 7 landscape sheets in saddle-stitch order. You print on both sides, fold the pile in half and staple. The 17 page PDF comes in US Letter, which makes Half Letter pages, and A4, which makes A5 pages. It downloads instantly, and nothing is shipped.

A tidy, portable record that makes appointments feel calmer and clearer.

How the blood sugar log booklet keeps readings clear

Every booklet page is half a sheet, so you never cut anything. The pages already sit in pairs, so the numbering falls into place the moment you fold. Each week has its own log covering all 7 days, with spots for readings before and after breakfast, lunch and dinner and at bedtime, a little space below each one for the time, and notes for food, activity, sleep, stress or a sick day.

Every fourth week an overview page asks how many days you logged, your highest and lowest numbers and any patterns, so you arrive at appointments with a clear picture instead of scattered notes. Since the folded booklet sits beside your meter in a bag, your medicine and insulin list, supplies, lab results and visit notes travel with you.

Who this glucose log is for

• People with type 1, type 2 or gestational diabetes who like to handwrite readings in a small booklet that goes everywhere with the meter
• Anyone whose care team has asked for checks around meals for a period and who needs a simple, neat place to note them
• Family caregivers recording readings, insulin and notes for a parent, partner or child and taking the booklet to appointments
• Those who prefer paper alongside an app, or want a printed backup to show at each visit

Design and printing

• Soft, minimal look: white pages with blush pink details that use little ink
• Generous margins, so a home printer will not clip anything
• The US Letter file gives Half Letter booklet pages (5.5 x 8.5 in), two to a side on landscape sheets, and the A4 file gives A5 booklet pages (148 x 210 mm), also two to a side. The order is ready for saddle stitching, with nothing to cut
• Undated, so you can begin in any week, and you pick the unit yourself, mg/dL or mmol/L
• No target ranges appear anywhere: you note your own numbers and whatever your care team told you
• Pink fold marks on each sheet, a number on every booklet page and staple marks on the middle spread

Good to know

• The PDF is designed to be printed on both sides and folded, so it is not a hyperlinked digital planner. Paper, a cover and a stapler are not included.
• This is a digital download, and nothing physical is shipped.
• Printed colors can differ slightly from your screen.
• The files are for your personal use only. Please do not share, resell or redistribute them.
• Digital files cannot be returned, but email us if a file will not open or print correctly and we will help right away.
• This is an organizing tool for your own records, not medical advice. It does not diagnose or treat any condition and does not take the place of your doctor, diabetes educator or pharmacist. Follow their instructions, and talk to them before you begin, stop or adjust any medicine or insulin dose. If there is an emergency, ring your local emergency number.
• Each printer aligns the reverse side a little differently, so try one plain test sheet before you print the whole booklet.
