    Robert,

    Thank you for suggesting this display optimization for test measurements and their units.  It's a great idea!

    The picture below illustrates a problem that, though unlikely, is something we need to consider: the possibility that tests results are measured in different units.  It is not unusual for doctors' office measurements to be taken in metric units and for folks to use British system when self administering tests (e.g. weight).  It does not invalidate your suggestion, but we need to figure out how to handle both situations.

    As for the reference values, it's a little trickier than it might seem.  Reference values may differ by age, gender, provider recommendations, specific treatments, etc.  It's a great suggestion but it is one that would probably be best handled at the same time we implement user customizations, to make sure user's aren't confused by conflicting directions from the software and their medical providers.

    Thank you also for sharing the work -around for the community forum bug!
