Default what's good, what's missing

REALLY love some aspects of this app: Great interface for entering and labeling data easily, and the automatic push notifications are just what I need so I don't forget to test. Nice to be able to superimpose food/meds over BG results. I would really LOVE this to be the only app I need. Unfortunately, however, GB does not display data in the way I need to see it, and I do not have the expertise or the patience to manipulate it to suit my needs. Here is what I and my medical team need:

1)Data should be able to be easily displayed where the columns are events such as Before Breakfast and After Breakfast. (Standard diabetes log format here in Canada at least!) This doesn't necessarily need to be on my phone, although it would certainly be nice. The averages that show now are of very limited use to me.
2)I also need to be able to set different targets for glucose levels before and after meals. (At present a reading that is out of the before-meal target range shows as normal because it is lower than the after-meal target limit, the only one allowed, apparently.
3)Graphs over time by category (event) would be helpful, and averages by category (event) with some indication of the variation would be great.

For what it's worth, here are two suggestions to make data entry even easier in future:
1)Allow me to choose to make the decimal place automatic when in mmol/L since there is ALWAYS a decimal.
2)Have the event "snap" to the next obvious event (If I tested before breakfast, I will surely next test after breakfast.)
