Topic: Carbohydrate Counting / My Carb Guess Challenge!

Glad you are sorted, be a bit careful with the soup as they give 2 values and you want the one for per portipon as prepared. I've never had a toastie so a bit over valued but that where guessing can catch you out. I would have probably called it 5 portions in all so I did''t overdo the insulin. .Good luck

Topic: Carbohydrate Counting / My Carb Guess Challenge!

Hi michaelj,

Thank you for your reply.

I've just checked and the Batchelor's oxtail cup a soup (1 sachet) = 12.8g cho per sachet.

The toastie is not actually toasted - Warburtons Toastie is the actual name of it's and = 20.8g cho per slice.

Total = 54.4g so maybe call it 50g/60g.

Bachelors put the carb value on the side of the boxes, usually about 18 gms or 1.8 portions. I have these quite often and don't have any probs.
The toastie I would allow 4 portions or 88 gms of carbohydrate. It would be the value of bread before toasting.
I would call the lot 6 portions..
Clover and beef spread have no carb value so no need to worry about them.

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

Hi Simon,

apart from the comments, everything else remains visible on the app.

The disappearing comments happen both on the ipad and the iphone - but i tend to use the iphone more so i notice it more there.

Thanks

Eli

Hi Eli,

Do the entries still show up in the app? If so try looking at them and saving them again, this should trigger an upload. Note if you delete entries in the app this will delete them on the site but not vice versa.

The comments problem is one a few people have mentioned - is it just on the iPad that the comments problem happens? So far I've been unable to reproduce it on my phone or simulator.

Thanks,

Simon

Thanks for getting back to me Simon,

I'm losing everything, BG, QA, comments ... the entry just seems to disappear. For example, all the data i entered this weekend on the ipad did not show up on my desktop yesterday morning.

As a test, I've entered my lunchtime readings into my iphone and it has appearedd on this site - so it does work sometimes.

Another thing I've noticed is that the app sometimes does not retain anything in the comments section - again, this is a sporadic occurrence.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Eli

Hi Eli,

Can you be more specific about the data which is lost? Is it whole entries or specific parts of an entry e.g. BG, QA, Comments.

Thanks,

Simon

Hi there,

I've noticed that if i upload data using the app (both iPhone and iPad) it sometimes gets lost and will not appear on the desktop version.

I use my work computer during the day to upload my readings and comments, these transfer without problems to the apps - but the other way around in unreliable - somethimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

I've checked my setting and I have enabled the diary upload on both the iPhone and iPad.

Can anyone shed light on this?

Thanks in advance.

Eli

I'm just trying to think how to compile this information considering I don't think I've had a consistent pattern yet... I will look into it more though and see if I can pin point anything from my data so far.

Glad to know that they are taking this seriously. Thank you.

Hi JWo, I know, it is difficult to reply to this. I gave up on DAFNE because of all this and because I couldn't find a solution to it. I just gave my pattern really and a list of what I had attempted. The only thing I ever managed was the BI and ratios during menstruation and a couple of days after it. During this time every month DAFNE worked perfectly. Thereafter I was really out of control and couldn't figure out how to get doses for the rest of the month so I haven't really been of any help to them. Suppose we can only relate what we experienced. Good luck with replying. Smile

Illness is giving me hell after a meal error (I think, guesswork was involved) - 30.4BG this morning.

It's been 4 days since this bug or whatever hit. Hopefully it won't last more than a week. -_-

30.4, jesus, you must of felt rough....

I was 8.0 this morning....

Yes... Thank goodness it wasn't a workday so I could sort myself out without other stuff to worry about. I'm hoping it'll be over soon so I can get control back on track. Sad

This morning I was... 9.6BG if I remember right. (Edit: 9.2BG)

Hope you're going to be okay whiskysmum. Sad

Best wishes!

Topic: General Discussion / Overnight and morning weird readings

Where did you inject you BI and your quick. I only ask because lantus and quick acting insulin don't like each other so can't be injected in same place ie in buttock or abdo. I do my BI in my buttock and quick in stomach. Poss might be why your quick acting didn't work the other night

I was told if i didnt know what thw carb value was to look at it in pieces like in a garlic bread size piece then just add it up. It seems to have worked for me so far. Smile

Topic: Questions for HCPs / weight loss - risks

I have found since being on the DAFNE course i have lost weight [a stone up til now over past 4 months) because of looking at food in a whole new light. Seeing how much insulin i have to take when eating a large plate of carbs i am now eating smaller quantities of the carbs. My HbA1c is 49.0 which is great too as it was 58.0 before i started. Very Happy

It is a bit hard to tell without seeing your diary. Are you able to share it? I can't tell from the above whether you had split your BI or not when you BGs rose that morning.

Thanks,
Warwick.

Oops yes I meant why DIDN'T the QA bring it down. I took the bedtime Lantus at the same time as the correction QA. Don't understand why it was exactly the same reading when I woke up.

Re the second question, the readings imply my bedtime BI is running out or has run out in that 2 hours from it being 8.5.

I'm not sure I understand your first question. You ask why the QA brought it down, but it went up slightly from 15 to 15.1, not down.

Second question, probably less due to the morning hormones, and more due to the liver releasing glucose which is why we need BI.

Cheers,
Warwick.
