After noticing Apple Health doesn't let you track this data at all (very strange decision on their part) I contemplated building an app... But Excel is easier and serves the same function. Conditional highlighting, charts, trends, it's all there.

Apple Health tracks the data. It just doesn't provide graphs except for the most common variables. I'm not really sure why no one makes a graphing app that works off HealthKit data

<cynical view> Because that's totally a thing Apple will release (or bundle into an existing app) as soon as it gains any popularity...

<sightly less cynical view> There's been persistent rumours for a few years now that Apple are working on blood glucose sensing for Apple Watch. If those rumours are right (and a big part of me really hopes they are) then that'd likely come with built in apps that destroy every blood glucose related 3rd party app.

Edit: I just noticed the original post wasn't specifically blood _glucose_ related. My own "blood test" requirements made me jump to an erroneous conclusion...

Blood test results? I couldn't find anywhere to input the data manually. I track everything else there, like blood pressure, but serum iron, ferritin? Transferrin? Albumin? Etc. Nothing. Am I blind?

You can make your own with Charty, which can pull data from HealthKit
