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

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.

Topic: General Discussion / Hypo hangover

I think I have because what you describe sounds familiar to some occassions where I have woken up low. In the worse cases, I develop a 24 hour headache.

Hope you're going to be okay. Not fun when that happens a lot. Sad

Topic: General Discussion / Overnight and morning weird readings

Last night at bedtime for some unknown reason I was 15. I did a correction of 3 units QA and took my split dose of Lantus. This morning I was 15.1. Eh? Why did the QA bring it down?

Also the other morning I was 8.5 at 7.45 a.m. I decided to do a bit of an experiment so I got up and got washed, dressed so no insulin or food, and at 10am I was 11. So is this down to not having BI plus those morning hormones kicking in?

Topic: General Discussion / Hypo hangover

Hi everyone! I've noticed with my hypos that if I go low during the night or any time that I'm woken up by one that the next day I feel woeful, almost like a hang over (but without the fun of a night out before Smile

) I feel headachy and a bit shaky and quite "delicate". My hypo awareness is quite good when I'm awake , I'd feel them from 3.8 or so and if I have one during the day I would normally be fine about 15 mins after and not think about it for the rest of the day. If its a night time hypo my BG would normally be under 3 by the time I wake up, (I had one the other night and it was 2.4). I was wondering if there is a difference in the effects of a hypo if your BG goes under 3 or if anyone else has suffered from hypo hangovers?

This topic is as I mentioned earlier for people to post their waking levels.

Others can then comment/offer help. It's also for a bit of fun and not for anyone to be judged.

Topic: General Discussion / Basal Testing - how often

I would say once a month would be a good routine to get into.........

on Lantus there isn't much you can do if you find you need less overnight, but more during the day, people on a split dose could test at different points in the day and make a decision...

You wouldn't no, keep ratios the same unless 2-3 days of high readings suggest the need for adjustment...
