Doctor Bill,
I have numbered the following to make it easier for you to respond:
1) Attached is the "Kelly model" of the spreadsheet discussed on the Symlin blog. I assume that it should work for the Byetta people also.
2) How will people learn to use this? Some will know, but most will have to play with it, or read instructions, or talk to someone.
3) The spreadsheet looks big, but the actual data input involves only about 10 lines - most of the other stuff is just derived from that, support info, etc.
Best regards,
The Babe

"THE KELLY MODEL" #1
This is named after Kelly, who first person who inquired into it's availability. I wrote the original spreadsheet for my own use from scratch - no one else was involved. The software is MS Excel.
Under copyright law, I waive all of my rights. Use it however you wish.
There is nothing on this spreadsheet that cannot be done by hand - it is just MUCH faster using Kelly. People will find that they can track their average blood sugars and weight change quickly. Their diets can be adjusted "real time" as they go through the day. These items are VERY helpful in staying "on program".
Kelly is color-coded for ease of use (One time I removed the colors and started laughing - it was almost impossible for me to understand - and I wrote it!).
There is nothing in Kelly that is "locked in". You can change words, colors, abbreviations, data, etc. to fit your particular needs. Keep a copy of your current Kelly, then "play" with it all you want. If you screw it up, dump it and go back to your saved copy.
More later.
The Babe
PS - My apologies to Kelly if this sounds a bit "racy" - it is just easier to refer to the spreadsheet by name.
