Online BG Diaries

Hello Simon ...

Aah .. trouble with the digits indeed.. rougue entries for 6,7,& 8 November now corrected and your mods work fine.

Just a small matter of the system needing to prevent users inputting dates ahead of current. Unless some T1's have premonitions!

Cheers, John

Site just updated to ensure users don't add diary entries for the future. If anyone does need the site to support premonitions/other psychic skills then let me know!

(If only I could 'predict' an HBA1c of 6.5%....)

Hi!

First, great site! I am finding it extremely useful.

I've just tried to add an entry using the on-line diary (mobile site) and it is saying I can't
put an entry in the future. Problem is the entry is in the past.

Date:181009
Time: 1245

Is it possible your recent changes have had a negative impact?

Regards

Dominic

Hi Dominic,

Yes they did - sorry everyone. I've fixed it now so try again and let me know how you get on.

Thanks

Simon

Hi Simon..

Add multiple seems to work fine now .. even trapped another unintended date error as well as one intended one for testing purpose .. so thanks, but..

The first day of the selected full diary view now seems to duplicate all that day's data. I deleted the 'duplicates' and they did disappear but upon changing the first day to view, the duplicates reappeared for that day.

May be unconnected to the multple mod but I don't think I have seen this before.

Don't like to think you have nothing to do...

Cheers, John

Hi John,

This is most strange - can you let me know the date within your diary that this happens for? Would probably be easier if I deal with individual issues via email so get in touch with me at [email protected] or send me a private message on the site.

If anyone else had experienced this though please post here.

Thanks,

Simon

Hi Simon and all,

Not really sure if this is appropriate here for within the thread regarding meter download. But here goes, feel free to move it if you think it would be better placed in the other thread.

As a user who doesn't use a paper diary but a database (much to the disapproval of my HCPs) it's a pain to have constantly entering data in one system then another. The ability to import results via csv, or xml would be an real bonus. I'm assuming the data held on the site is sorted in an SQL database therefore it should not be too complex import from these format.

As an IT professional if I can assist please feel free to contact me.

Kindest regards,

Alan

Hi Alan,

Yes the data is stored in an SQL database, and I'm sure we could implement some sort of functionality that could parse an XML file and add the results to your DAFNE Online Diary. I guess I'd have to publish the XML format we needed for you to export from your database (I assume this is Access or similar).

One question on this though - would you want the data duplicated in two places? Obviously there's benefits to both - you don't have to be online to access your own database, and its backed up locally for you, however with the DAFNE Online diary, you can access anywhere, and share with other users, etc. Is there functionality you have set up in your local Database that is missing from DAFNE Online which could be useful to other people? If so we'd like to hear about it with a view to adding it to our Diary/Graphs.

Thanks,

Simon

Actually Simon my data is currently backed up / duplicated in four different locations, one on-line, on a pocket-pc device and then backup on two computers. All sync'd from a master source. I see the main reason / aim for using the online diary is to easily share the data with other for support and advice. I know other who use a spreadsheet to record there result.

I haven't written by own software as i don't believe in re-inventing the wheel. I use sidiay (german software) which meets all my needs and more. (this is a personal preference and by no means a recommendation).

Kindest regards,

Alan

Wow, sounds complicated - but as long as it works for you that's all that matters! Will look into uploading via CSV/XML and post progress here.

Are there any features in your current setup that you'd like to see in the DAFNE Online diary?
