Topic: Site Development / Ios app not syncing diary

OK, but I can't see them on the website either?
So is it attempting to upload them but timing out?

Topic: Site Development / Ios app not syncing diary

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.

Could be but it has been working on ios7. I upgraded from ios6 a few weeks after ios7 was released in September and it only stopped working in December.

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

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

I totally agree with the ocd thing which I seem to have been affected by!!! Nice to know I'm not alone.

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...... Very Happy

Something low carb and low GI would be best or even carb free...... Wink ........I try not to snack though as it just means I wont be on target for the next meal, which I like to see more often than not...kinda OCD thing going on.....

I always have jelly babies with me and in my bedside locker or one of the small cans of coke (150ML). I find one cp is enough to bring me back up. Anymore and i go the opposite way. As regards snacking i love my grub so find it hard not to so am trying to snack on foods that contain no carbs.

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. Very Happy

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.

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.

BGs can vary during your period...its to do with the hormones! True about Lantus, so prob best not to change, you're doing the right thing though checking for ketones and a small increase in ratios.
Suppose this is one of the advantages of the pump as you can set a temp basal for exactly this reason!
