Topic: Site Development / Website BG Diary Access Hi y'all,I was wondering if anyone else was seeing this message when they try to view their BG diary on the website (I'm currently doing so through Firefox version 26.0) : "We're sorry, but something went wrong. We've been notified about this issue and we'll take a look at it shortly." I cannot do anything like send my diary entries through the Android phone app to anyone (and most of my HCPs have trouble looking at my Android phone's DAFNE app on screen despite it's large size) so having the option to copy/paste from here is quite vital. I think BG diary entries are still uploading okay on a related note since I've managed to gain access on rare occassions. I will keep trying in case it does decide to show the page. Thanks in advance. I hope the site is doing alright. ![]() Edit: Still bit hit and miss, but I've managed to get my entries for my appointment today. Is anyone else having the same trouble? |

Topic: General Discussion / Snacks Interesting to read of others' experiences. I agree that for hypos I need rapidly acting carbohydrate and I always carry a small bottle of classical Lucozade with me and about 4 small bottles in the car. The only problem with carrying this everywhere is it is rather heavy! A convenient alternative is Glucojuice which comes in a 60ml bottle = 15 g CHO ( 1.5 CHO portions).If I am exercising such as walking or mowing the lawn I find that Sainsbury's Fruit Jellys work fairly fast and are relatively palatable, more so than jelly babies and each is = 10g CHO ( 1 CHO portion). Glucotabs can be helpful as they come is a robust plastic tube, each tablet being = 4g CHO so one would need about 3-4 at a time. I used to use Dextrosol tablets but found the packet gets tatty and if I have not used them recenltly they go very hard and almost impossible to dissolve in the mouth quickly. I have found chewing glucose tablets and trying to keep them in the mouth for as long as possible is helpful for a quick response as the glucose is absorbed through the buccal mucosa ( the liniing of the mouth without waiting to go through the stomach. I know some people use snacks like Mars bars etc but these never seem to work quickly enough for me and my blood sugar continues to go down after taking a Mars bar ( or rather part of one) and the goes terribly high . I tend to avoid snacks except if I am walking and my blood sugar is on the way down though not hypoglycaemic. I may then have a biscuit or even a chocolat. My weight is generally stable in the normal range but I am anxious not to gain weight as this would increase my insulin requirement and and may lead to a vicious cycle of weight gain and escalating dosage. |

Topic: General Discussion / My Recent BGs - comments wanted please Just from your description of your change to your Lantus dose...........You seem to be just looking at the pre bed and fasting levels when considering a change, now this is good, its the best place to start, but what about your background needs during the day. Every time you increase or decrease your Lantus in order to hold steady overnight you will be effecting your daytime blood sugars. Thats why a split would be good, as you could adjust the background for the day and night separately, and so if there was an issue with dose you can focus on fixing it without disturbing the problem free portion of the day... Levemir is a shorter acting background with less of a peak, probably better suited to most who are splitting. Th effects of any change you make to Levemir can also be seen the next day. Lantus can be split and work but any dose change needs time to settle in before you see results....... |

Topic: General Discussion / My Recent BGs - comments wanted please
Thanks for taking a look. Why would you suggest maybe doing a split BI? I've never asked about the possibility of going on Levemir - bit scared really about a change in insulin. I've been on lantus for a very long time now since ? |

Hi, looking at the logs you ARE updating diary entries on the site and I can see loads of entries created in the last few days. I suspect the issue is you app is uploading lots of entries and we seem to have a performance issue with the site at the moment. The app is probably not getting a response quick enough and thinks it has lost connection when its just slow. Hopefully we will soon work out what the performance issue is. |

Topic: Questions for HCPs / rice and pasta The 100gr of the raw rice is 8.5CP and when it is cooked it will turn into 310gr of cooked rice because of the water it has absorbed during the cooking. The cooked 300gr is also 8.5CP, which is 2.8CP for every 100gr of cooked rice.100 grams of cooked rice (3CP) is a much smaller amount of rice - roughly a third of example 1 - so the raw weight of 100gr of cooked rice would be about 35 grams (3CP). The same CP raw or cooked - but vastly different weights. Also prefer to go by the raw weight and cook my rice separately because rice absorbs the water slowly during the cooking process, so if you don't cook the rice to its fullest absorption the cooked weight of 100gr of raw rice can vary from 200gr to 300gr which obviously makes a big difference to the final QA calculation. |

Topic: Site Development / Ios app not syncing diary Hi, Thanks for the reply.Yes I am still having trouble. My iPhone app now reports "Connection Failed. Could not connect to DAFNE Online. Please check your internet connection" every time I go into the app. The spinning wheel icon next to the wireless network icon is always spinning. Other internet enabled apps iPlayer, Safari etc work fine. I enter a new entry everytime I do a blood test, so usually about 4 times a day. It hasn't updated the website since 9th December. Thanks, Mark |

Topic: General Discussion / My Recent BGs - comments wanted please Hi,Before I pay a visit to my diabetic drop in centre I'm looking for some comments on my recent BGs. Dates - what's been going on lately A while before Wed 11.12 bedtime BGs were much higher then fasting BGs where there was a huge drop so for several weeks I slowly decreased BI (lantus) Then ALL BGs went higher ie mostly in the teens Wed 11.12 - started with headcold got a bit better in between Fri 27.12 - ear infection - antibiotics for 1 week Mon 30.12 - put meter on +10% for illness & use this for every QA injection Wed 01.01 - put meter on +12% for illness & use this for every QA injection - has this just become a habit now to be doing this? Most BGs are in the teens Mon 06.01 - increased BI from 12u to 14u The odd single figure BG is now creeping in |

Topic: Site Development / Ios app not syncing diary Hi there,Sorry for the late reply - are you still having this problem? Have you tried adding a new entry - this should trigger the sync to the site for all previous entries. If it's still not working can you let us know around what time you're trying to do the upload so we can check our logs? Thanks, Simon |

Topic: DAFNE Online Mobile / Problems uploading Hi, the following entry looks a bit strange: 2014-1-11 at 19:26 diary_entry_type= Before Dinner, ratio=2.5:1, bg="", cps="5.5", qa="13.8", bi="" There is no BG but the QA is 13.8 which looks odd. Should this be in the BG field ?? This may explain the error you are getting, can you change it and see what happens ? |

Topic: DAFNE Online Mobile / Problems uploading Hi Marke,Thanks for taking the time to reply. I assumed that since the app had a designer it was checked by the 'Keith Clarke' that created it or that said person would know how to rectify the problem. I left a message on here over a year ago asking if we could have an update of the android app so it did the same things the iphone app did e.g adding your own food entries. And the iphone threads tend to be a bit more frequently dealt with, the app itself being slightly better, hence Android frustration. I am very greatful for it so thank-you, it's just very frustrating when you come to rely on something and come up against the same errors and nothing can be done to change whats is otherwise a brilliant app. I wish the government or someone would give you the funding necessary because it is by far the best thing out there for DAFNE users, especially as it is free. SO The message that comes up is 'Unexpected error: Uploading failed BG is not a number.' I try to upload results from my old HTC and it will only upload to a certain point (only after 5 or 6 continuous attempts) and then displays the message above. I tried several times between Sat 11th and Monday 13th January 2013 from around 5 or 6 pm. Eventually as I said , it did upload part of the results but for some reason there are wholes in what it uploads, e.g when uploading the last year, it completely disregards Oct and November and skips from September to Decemeber readings, despite them clearly being present on my old phone. So when I look on my new HTC there are two months of readings missing, it's a bit baffling. I suspect the error message has something to do with it. I have even checked those results to make sure i haven't written BG in a box mistake or something, but no such luck. Voila, thank-you for your time. ![]() |

Topic: General Discussion / Snacks I think snack items and hypo resolve have to be identified as different things.When treating hypos it should always be quick acting carbs, between 15 and 20g. I actually prefer the isotnic sports drinks, just ASDA's own, half of the bottle [500ml] does the job quickly. Snacking though is different, snacking implies a small food item in between a main meal...... ![]() Something low carb and low GI would be best or even carb free...... ![]() |

Topic: General Discussion / My Blood Glucose Diary - problems Thanks marke for looking at it.I always keep my results in my paper DAFNE diary anyway to upload later using multiple entry format. The automatic date entry seems to stop things on multiple entry and we get presented with the red border cells to input a date. Have tried pasting in dates throughout that input...but I'm afraid once it has gone awry...you get the problem warning window. Have been able to upload my results from the last few days this morning by using single entries. So maybe multiple result entries time out on the server as it is exceptionally slow. Regards Garry |

Topic: DAFNE Online Mobile / Problems uploading Hi, there is NO app design team. In fact there is no android developer at all at the moment. This site is run on a voluntary basis by DAFNE Graduates in their spare time. The apps were developed by people kind enough to give their time. This is why questions are not being answered at the moment. In addition there is an issue in the diary part of the site that 'may' be related to this. Can you please provide details of what the errors are and the date and time they appear, this will help is investigate the issue and hopefully provide a solution. |

Topic: General Discussion / My Blood Glucose Diary - problems Hi, Yes we have not resolved the issues at the moment. We are still trying to work out what the problem is, it works fine in our test setup but not on the live site for some reason. I WILL post on this thread as soon as there are any developments. |
