Topic: DAFNE Online Mobile / iphone app crashing

Hi I have an iphone 3g with iOS 4.2.1 the latest for this model. I have been using the app for the last couple of months with out any problems and everything was working perfectly up until I updated the app to the latest version 1.6.1 the other day. Now when I put an entry in diary I am able to put in all the info e.g. Carb, QA Insulin, BI Insulin etc but when I tap the save button the app crashes and goes back to the iphone home screen every time. I have down powered the phone and tried it again but it still crashes.
Can you help, i'm lost without this app.

Gavin.

If you eat at regular times try setting the alarm on your watch/phone for ten to fifteen minutes in advance of your meal.

Topic: General Discussion / Remembering Blood Tests

Welcome to the forum xam00. Smile

I'm not sure how you're forgetting to do a blood test... though I can understand, they're not the most appealing thing to do. I've been diabetic for 22 years and for my denial stages, I did become very neglectful of doing my blood tests. When I came out the other side of that phase, I started blood testing like no one's business but I wanted the knowledge to help my health.

Why not write "do blood test" on your insulin pen or something. Will that help?
Take care.

Ah I'm with you now, sorry for the confusion. Could be a bit difficult getting the precision with the slider, is there a better way to input that ratio?

Alow us to also manually enter it just like the CP ratio?

If you go to the settings tab then the auto calculate option and settings are there. Once turned on when you change your BG, CP, ratio or entry type it will recalculate your qa insulin dose.

Correction ratio not CP ratio

Annette - yes, Negative Corrections will be coming in the next update of the app.

Rich - not sure what you mean, ratios have to be entered as 2 figures separated by a colon, however you can have multiple decimal places; so 1:0.004 should work.

Hi Michelle,

Yes there is - you can find it by searching for DAFNE Online on the app store, or by following this link on your phone will take you straight to it.

Enjoy!

Topic: DAFNE Online Mobile / Application Differences

Hello!

Quick question - what are the main differences between the DAFNEOnline apps on different platforms?

I've noticed that some members say they can add food entries to their app but I can seem to be able to do it on the Android app... unless I'm being daft and not seeing it or I'm misunderstanding them? XD Either way, would be good to know - summed up in one place.

Many thanks in advance! Smile

Oh, and keep up the great work! The DAFNEOnline app is so helpful!

The suggested dose automatically gives the + values added on, but not the - ones. Also, if BG is below 3.5 before a meal I was told to take extra quick acting carb. The suggested minus values don't take into account if you're taking extra carbs. If you do both you could end up with high BG later!

I've just finished the DAFNE course & they say a minimum of 7 hours between the 2 doses so if you take the morning at 8am then you should be able to take the the evening dose at a time between 3pm and 11pm. I think it is a good idea to start about 12 hours apart and see how you get on, but don't see why you could not start at 8am and 6pm as long as you are aware of when the overlaps are.

I started taking mine at 8am and 10pm - I picked times that I knew would be convenient both for the week and weekend as you need to stick to the same times each day.

Good Luck!

It's been awfully quiet since the update, has nobody managed to break it?

Topic: Site Development / Averages

Hi Richard,

Thanks Very Happy

It's a simple average, takes all of the entries and averages the BG results which aren't zero or empty.
