I have had no problem skiing, just keep meter in an inside pocket. The goggle pocket is ideal, your insulin will also need to be in an inside pocket. Have a good time

I never do QA with my supper eeek! Maybe I should.

Why?

I mean, at the moment, yeah, as you have been dropping quite significantly overnight, but what you should be doing at the moment is having nothing before bed, to see what your BI is doing....

Now that your numbers are creeping back up in the morning the only thing left to do is 3 consecutive days BI testing, no food after dinner, only drink water, no exercise, 3 am tests......

Yay...... Laughing

Topic: DAFNE Online Mobile / Losing data betweene the iPhone app and the desktop version

Hi Simon,

I have diary upload enabled on the iPad as well as the iPhone, are you saying that the two devices don't 'talk' to each other?

In that case, would they not both feed off the desktop version, if the data is being correctly uploaded from each device?

Will try put in a bad password this evening and see what happens.

Thanks

Eli

40g carbs would be written as 4 CP as a BG Diary entry.

What would I enter 15g carbs as?

Hello again,

I have shared my diary with you - look at the shared diaries link to the top right of this page. I often learn better from examples than from theory. You can take a look at how I am recording my readings, and then use it to decide what readings you need to record.

Cheers,

Warwick.

Cool. Thanks for that. I should have told you that before bed readings are important too. Sorry about that. If you can start recording those too, that would be excellent. I'll take a look at this overnight and see if I can see any patterns.

Readings to record:

Before breakfast, lunch, dinner and bed.

Hypos, and the amount of carb taken to correct (usually 2.5-3 CPs)

Before exercise and after exercise, and if you can put in the notes column the duration and intensity of the exercise, that would be great.

Also the amount of carb taken before, during and after exercise. I often have a 750 ml bottle of make-your-own-from-powder Gatorade during running which for me works out to be 4.5 CPs.

Any snacks between meals that are more than 1.5 CP.

Any correctional doses between meals - e.g say you feel a bit odd, you take a reading, find you are in the twenties - record the amount of QA insulin you take to correct this.

Cheers,
Warwick.
