Hi, sorry but our system doesn't agree with you. It thinks the password in the app is incorrect, I suggest you change your password to something short and simple to tes this out. Try the app with the simple password and if it still doesn't work let us know. If it does work, then change the password to something much more secure and try it again in the app. There is no reason it shouldn't work and we have many users whose password works fine. Its always possible that it is some character in the password that is causing the issue, hence the suggestion of a simple password. If you do find it stops working if you have a 'strange' character in your password, let us know what the character is and we will try to work out why.

It was generally felt that people would use the site more often if they were sent reminders. ,it was also felt we could send reminders of DAFNE principles such as sick day rules although obviously these could only be sent to DAFNE graduates.....
Not necessarily my view however I am interested in what others think. We are always happy to listen to what people want.

Hey Mark,

What have we been asked to remind people about? I've promised to add in the emails for a new message being received, and we already have the email subscriptions to topics.

As you say, there's already too much email in the world and I don't want to contribute to its proliferation ;)

I have kept in mind about the lack of reminder regarding PMs, but I tend to prefer it that way. If I have any reminder options at all, I tend to prefer a pop-up when I sign in, to an email.

I do however sign in frequently so I can see where people are coming from if they want reminders by email to return for a visit.

I do like the thread subscription option, on a related note. Very helpful.

All, I have been asked several times to raise this, so now I am Laughing

It has been suggested that this site should send out email reminders about things to registered users. The idea being to remind you the site is here and that you can use it. This has not been done up until now because the site developers both work in the IT industry and spend their lives trying to stop the constant stream of email that floods their inboxes Crying or Very sad

However we have been asked to look into providing this as an option so this post is to try and gauge if users would like this facility or not. If we did do it we would obviously provide an opt out option, so that YOU have the choice of recieving the emails or not.

Can people please respond to this post with their views on the matter so that we can make an informed choice on what our user based WANT us to do.

Ann, Yes we did resolve Claire's issue as we will resolve yours. I have checked our logs and there has been no attempt to connect to the site from your app. This means you have not configured it to try to talk to the site. Open the app, go to the settings tab, enter your username and password,
scroll down and set 'Diary Upload' to on. Now add a new entry into the app and it will try to upload all entries that have not been uploaded before. To do this you obviously have to have a signal on your phone or be connected to WiFi so that the app can talk to the site. If this does not work, tell us the error you get OR the day and approximate time you tried to do it. We can then look at our logs to see if we saw a connection from you.

I know

Was going to ask DSN about apidra QA instead of humalog, I've heard that this is faster in, faster out so wondered if maybe that might stop some of the hypos, also may be better if I've had a later than usual evening meal.

Current dose of Lantus/BI is 28u

I agree with James. Taking a reading shortly after supper will give some wildly high results. Test beforehand and use that as your bedtime reading. It will likely show a much lower value, and explain why you hypo in the mornings so much. I'd suggest cutting out supper until you have your overnight BI dose right, and then you can add supper back in with enough QA to handle it, and have the correct dose of BI too leading to no highs before bed and no lows in the morning.

I recently switched from single dose BI to split dose and like James, that does work well for me although I can understand that it won't work for everyone. If you decide to split your dose, then talk to your HCP before doing this though as it is a bit tricky to split a dose without some wild BG results during the transition.

Actually you should do bedtime result when there is no carbs or insulin working, only at least when your looking to paint a picture of whats happening overnight.......

Its clear you need to reduce your BI though.....so when you do reduce it, have a few days supper free/carb free to check what happens with the new reduced dose.....

Your on a single dose if BI aren't you......? Having a split dose is the only way to go....in my opinion.....flexibility is the key...

I think when your BI dose is right it is OK to test before supper, and use that as your pre bed result... Smile

What have you done about it......?

Have you recorded pre bed results with no butterpuffs......? This will show a better picture....

- Yes the hypos are back Crying or Very sad

, just on waking though not during the rest of the day Smile

.

- I've not done anything yet about it but now you say really I should be maybe reducing the BI possibly by 2u.
Just seems that whenever I reduce BI BS all go up then whenever I increase BI BS all come crashing down.

- no I've not recorded pre bed results with no butterpuffs. I usually have supper then do the bedtime test when I get into bed. So maybe I should do bedtime results just before having supper.
