On Monday, Detective Sergeant Peter Romanis told the Melbourne Magistrates' Court Mr Swale scanned his blood glucose monitoring device at 5:17pm, about 40 minutes before the crash.
The officer said it produced a reading of 2.9 millimoles of glucose per litre of blood, a level considered to be below a safe threshold.
"The accused received and ignored a further eight mobile phone alerts via a blood glucose monitoring app prior to the collision occurring," Sergeant Romanis said.
Sergeant Romanis said Mr Swale was captured on CCTV entering a wine bar at 5:20pm and asking for a table, before returning to his vehicle.
He was seen driving his vehicle at 5:42pm and 5:44pm, and then at 6:07pm when he "lost control of the BMW" as it travelled down Albert Street, over a kerb and into the diners who were seated at tables on the grass reserve.
