Adding extra tags is useful for debugging as it will add specific traces in the log.

Extra tags for logging

You need to know what you want to debug and set the correct level. Make sure to put valid tags to avoid xDrip+ crashing.

Show Data tables

This feature is extremely useful if you calibrate using the xDrip+ algorithm (non native).
It will add two entries in the drawer menu for visualization of calibration and data tables.

Zero means don't delete anything (recommended). You can use 90 days if you use a cloud backup like Nightscout, so that you will still have all statistics available in xDrip+.

Glucose retention
