Topic: General Discussion / steel toe shoe's

Here in the UK I use Element II...as in roman 2, Warwick.
Goretex uppers and liners that breathe reasonably well.
Must be lots of others out there though using Goretex I would have thought.

Topic: General Discussion / Android App

Hopefully I'm on the correct thread for making suggestions about the android app.

It will be good to have a place to record both the QA & BI injection locations, presently there is only one dropdown?

thanks

Hi Derek, have you tried updating the Android system software, via settings about this phone, you might have some old software floating around causing problems.

Then again it could be something else, in essence they are just small computers.

Topic: Questions for HCPs / average

Before DAFNE my average recorded on my meter was around 6.3 HBA1C 58% Very Happy

currently my average blood glucose is 9.1 Sad

my results have been a tad higher than usual they tend to be above the recommended targets or on the high side of the recommended targets - but i'm still having the same type of food with less hypos - i am on a 1:1 ratio and on 56 units of lantus - I've tried increasing the ratio of QA by half but not much change there - my sleeping pattern has also changed i tend to work till late in the morning 3 am (tend to snack on nuts or peanut butter) go to be and wake up at 11 am go to the gym then have brunch at 1 - checked ketones

is it my sleeping pattern change or the exercise thats giving me high sugars or should i increase my ratio again by half or increase my lantus

im really confused

and panicking and i feel like i should be injecting more or should i wait a bit longer and see a pattern because i haven't had high BG reading like 8 -10 (except on my periods)

I agree with novorapidboi - if there is another GP practice convenient enough for you I would advise moving - your current GP obviously doesn't care what is best for you and should not be ignoring the opinion of the more specialist consultant.

Have you spoken to the consultant who recommended the pump? I'm sure they wouldn't be impressed with the GPs attitude!! They may be able to 'persuade' the GP, or even suggest another GP who they have had good dealings with.

And a final suggestion is to threaten to approach the local papers - as much as I hate the whole negative attitude of the press towards the NHS it has been known to get things moving, and it does sound like this GP deserves a kick!

And please don't give up - you deserve to have the right treatment! Good luck x

Like some others I had problems uploading to the online diary, so I've been adding entries using my ios6 iPod touch for the last week or so. Just tried "add multiple entries" on the on-line site and, wow! fast, or what? Whatever you've done guys is wonderful, thank you.

If anyone finds some that breathe well while being suitable for an office situation, I'd love to hear from you.

I have reeal trouble finding any that don't hurt my feet and feel like a swimming pool in the summer.

Cheers,
Warwick.

Topic: General Discussion / steel toe shoe's

I am a Civil Engineer and visit construction sites daily. I have worn many different types of steel toe capped shoes/boot with no issues.

A diabetics foot is the same as a non diabetics foot, its just that some diabetic individuals have less sensation in there feet due to circulation or problems caused from less than perfect control. So identifying pain and injuries is the key thing in foot care. Being able to heal properly is also an issue if blood sugars are not under control.

Reducing the risk of injury to your feet would obviously be helped with soft shoes, but this isn't possible in some workplaces, and there's no reason it should....

Topic: General Discussion / Glucose monitoring contact lenses

The concept has received quite wide coverage from both tech-orientated sites (the register, neowin) as well as the more general news purveyors like BBC and Sky. Not sure whether it is related to Google's presence/involvement or a genuine interest in advances in Type 1 diabetes matters. Some of the comments made me laugh when it was suggested that wearers would be subjected to adverts dependent on their blood glucose levels much in the same way that Gmail scans the content of your emails to generate advertising. As anyone who has used Google's mail interface will know, this is sometimes wide of the mark and usually involves some tenuous link to financial compensation services! Or that could just be my mailbox Smile
