Topic: General Discussion / Cycling

Hi,

I am a keen cyclist and struggling with MDI, on Levemir and NovoRapid.

Basically if my BG is over 10 I feel lethargic on the bike and can't keep up on group ride, therefore I have some QA, but if the ride is over 3+ hours, by the end I can't keep up cos I'm eating constantly.

Just wondered what/how others cope with endurance exercise?

Is a pump better for this type of exercise?

Would self funding a CGM help? I could tell later in a ride if I was going low or just tired!

Any help and advice would be appreciated.

Phil

Topic: General Discussion / Gym

I have a few small amounts of Innocent Smoothie before, during and after my gym session. This contains fast release carbs, but it seems to work for me. I've never been able to accurately gauge how many long acting carbs I need to take to keep my sugars up, particularly if I'm doing any sort of high intensity circuits or the like. I also don't want to have to do exercise on a full stomach.

Really disappointed. Have only just bought a Samsung and downloaded the dafne app. What else can't the android do? Not being able to add carbs doesn't particularly bother me.

Thanks for that but I was hoping to do 4 months so I ended up just sending through my results instead.

Topic: Carbohydrate Counting / Good carb counting resource?

Hi, I'm not a DAFNE graduate, in fact I cannot access any education in my NHS trust, so I am trying to work out management for myself. Can anyone recommend a good app / website for carb values please?

Thank you

I use dry fruit or a sandwich when I'm feed up with bananas. Fruit bread with low sugar Jan works for me.

Topic: General Discussion / DAFNE MONITORING DIARIES

Hi All,
An update on my progress so far. I have used Stephens suggested link for the T1 download (http://www.diabetes-support.org.uk/info/?page_id=122) and then uploaded it to an online pdf converter. I now have a word document that i can change text and boxes in. It now looks very similar to the DAFNE format, just a tad bigger, and with a few more boxes. I'm now going to borrow Alan's idea of using photographic paper for a cover, and thin card for the pages and start making some of my own Monitoring Diary's as i need them.

I will also be continuing with the iPhone app to see how i get on with it. (however i do keep getting funny looks at work (its that phantom text-er)) Shocked

Many Thanks Alan & Stephen.

I very much like the sound of your A5 homemade one Alan, but my printer can't do A5. What a shame.

I have taken a look at your suggested links Stephen, and like the look of the T1 download as its not far off the DAFNE style i have been used too. I am now trying to use a pdf convertor to change it to Word or XL to allow me to alter some text. Very Happy

I will let you know how i get on.

Pat, I have found te diary freely downloadable from Diabetes support information exchange the most helpful. It is based on the DAFNE diary but allows much room for data which i find particularly helpful for frequent testing on an insulin pump.

Yeah it's a possibility Lucy! If there's a hardening/lumpy area of skin- that would explain the increased amount of pain you mentioned!

Jenny,

What I think you want is the 7 day trend graph, but over 30 days, I think this would be too squished up and unreadable hence the reason its not available. What I would possibly do is grab 4 different 7 day graphs to show the months data.

Hopefully that helps.

Phil

hi there.
i want to send my doc a month's worth of readings as a linear (?) graph starting at the beginning of the month and ending at the end of the month. (Would look like how our test books looked years ago). your graph separates meals but i want mine to show what my results are doing over 24 hours over a month. how do i do this? I thought it would be really easy but cant find a graph that works like this.

I will try a new pen. If no success I am going to speak to the diabetes nurse. If it's happening on the same part of my body could it be lipos?

I print my own diaries and you are welcome to have a copy of the Word documents I've created for the detail pages and the cover. The trouble is that you'll need A5 size plain paper (for the detail pages) and I use A5 size photographic paper for the cover, but I suppose you could have a plain paper cover.. You'll also need (of course) a printer that can accept A5 stationery, and a stapler to allow you to staple the middle of an A5 page.

Thanks Peter & Alturn.
It looks like I may have to try using to DAFNE app to see how I get on, yes I can also get online to look at the Diary. Sad

Just need a few days of readings to see how it looks.

If all else fails I will purchase some from your online link .

Thanks again
Pat

Pat, You can buy them from the DAFNE site (http://www.dafne.uk.com]). See DAFNE Shop under People with Type 1 Diabetes. The cost is Â£1.95 plus P&P. Alternatively stick with using the IPhone app and then download the results to a PC where you will be able to print them.

I got some diaries from my meter supplier (Accu-chek) but this was some time ago, and the format may differ slightly from DAFNE.

I don't use them anymore as I record all my entries on the DAFNE web-site (do you still have access?) and in an OpenOffice spreadsheet (don't have MS Office, or an iPhone) where I can play with the data and also identify trends as highs/lows appear in different colours.
