I'm trying to loose weight for my wedding in May (been on it for about 6 years now) and have heard it can bulk you up and that Levimir or Detimir are better-any views on this? Is splitting better dor someone like me who works out alot? |

Topic: Questions ? / Until I start a DAFNE course HiI've been a Type 1 diabetic for over 30 years and and really struggling to get my HBA1C lower than 10!! I also seem to be yo-yoing between very low and very high bloodsugars and I also do alot of exercise so either end up over eating to compensate for low bloodsuagrs or they run high. I've just had my latest hospital appointment and they said I really need to do a DAFNE course but I think there is quite a waiting list until at least August. In the meantime is there any basic guidance I can floow to start stabilising bloodsugars and stop having hypos almost once a day and the over compensating so then my bloodsugar goes high again! I inject 12 units og Glargine AM and 4-6 units of Novorapid between each meal I'm also desperately trying to loose some weight (5ft 4 11 stone) for my wedding in May and as I've really read into insulin/cortisol etc I know the key has to be better diabetic control Any help, links, websites etc much appreciated!! Thanks Vicky |

Topic: Site Development / Figure 17 Hello,I can't see figure 17 as mentioned here: http://dafneonline.co.uk/hbook_topics/489 It is the sick day rules flow chart, but neither Firefox, nor IE will display it. Does it actually exist on the server? Thanks, Warwick. |

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. |

Topic: Carbohydrate Counting / My Carb Guess Challenge! 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. |

Thanks Eli |

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

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

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 |

Topic: Questions ? / Information on menstrual cycle
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.

Topic: General Discussion / 7-day waking average
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.  This morning I was... 9.6BG if I remember right. (Edit: 9.2BG) Hope you're going to be okay whiskysmum. 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 |

Topic: Carbohydrate Counting / Greggs baguette sandwiches 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.

Topic: Questions ? / 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.
