Topic: DAFNE Online Mobile / Dafne app on android

Hi, unfortunately there isn't currently one available on the Google Play store - the previous version was developed by a volunteer (as it the rest of the site by MarkE and myself) who wasn't able to maintain it anymore. Mark is looking at developing a new version but he needs to teach himself Android development, as well as manage the site and his day job. I have experience with IOS and that's why that app is regularly updated. If anyone wants to help us out with Android app development we would be grateful for the support!

Well, I’ve drafted my own QRG. Its not had any kind of review by clinicians, so it cant be used iin any official capacity, but if anyone is interested in a copy, post here. I’ve done two formats, one in A5 booklet form so I can just refer to it occassionally, and one in “flash card” form.

Its all the same content, but the booklet has as an example, two pages on exercise on opposite pages so I can open the booklet and see both at the same time, whilst the cards has a card for exercise with the two pages on either side of the same sheet.

I started off thinking the flashcards was the way to go, but personally prefer the booklet layout, so I have both, and you’re welcome to try them out.

Topics covered:
Hypo rules (useful for other people!)
Sick day rules
Testing, and BI & QA
Stepwise approach & Snacks, and Treating BG below/above target
Eating out, and Alcohol (they generally go together
Exercise, additional carbs, insulin adjustment
Travel and driving (the travel page is based on the site recommended on the DAFNE course, plus a bit of my own experience - I used to travel, a lot).

I’m open to suggestions/proof reading/medical opinion/simplifiication from anyone.
