Is there anywhere I can get the DAFNE diaries to record my BG levels etc. I realise there is the online resource, but I like to have it to hand.

Chris,
I have the file to produce it from DAFNE Central but unfortunatley have not had chance yet to convert it into a format that is easily printable for users. I will hopefully get chance to do this in the near future and will post again once its online for you to access

Hi Chris

You can buy them from DAFNE in the post, it is quite cheap. Email them and ask for an order form.

I have devised a excel worksheet which caculates daily levels, weekly and monthly averages and this is turn is very easy to keep updated as it is a locked cell format. I use this instread of the dairy and I can automatically see just by looking at the screen to where the ups are downs are. The only disadvantage is you need a PC to update this sheet daily.

I've also made my own spreadsheet in Excel which exactly copies the layout of the DAFNE diaries, and prints them to fill A4 sheets (like the overheads used on the DAFNE course). I added a button to make it do graphs as well (need to enable Macros).

@Phil - Yours sounds pretty good too with averages, etc

Hi Phil,

Sounds good. Can you send in to nivz78 [at] yahoo.co.uk

I'll send you a copy of what I've done if you want. Might be interesting to 'splice' them together ;o)

I get new Dafne diaries when I attend clinic. Also after our course we were sent them in excel form so we could record our results and send to fellow graduates or Dafne leaders for advice.
