Hi Phil/All,

We moved our servers yesterday - this requires us to 'tell the Internet' where dafneonline.co.uk is and this can take up to 48 hours to propagate across the whole of the Web. Keep on trying - if this persists for another 24 hours then let us know.

Topic: DAFNE Online Mobile / upload error 503

Hi,

Is this related?

I am using the iPhone app (version 1.5.2 on iPhone 4 with iOS5.1) for my results and this morning (Mon 23rd April) it keeps moaning that my DAFNE Online credentials are incorrect, they have not changed, I have tried reentering them on the iPhone in case there was a time limit or something.

I can log in fine on the website, is the webservice down or moved?

Thanks

Hi Andrew,

Could you let us know when you tried to upload your results, and which phone you are using to do it?

Over the past 24 hours we have been moving our servers so there may be a few hiccups - also feel free to try the upload again.

Thanks,

Simon

Topic: Site Development / pdf diary downloads

Hi Andrew,

Looking at our error logs the issue is that the diary you are trying to print it too big horizontally, could you let me know the maximum number of diary entries you have in any day in the date range you're trying to print?

This will help us greatly to fix the problem.

Thanks,

Simon

Topic: General Discussion / Dose adjustment due to GI

Its important to remember that the carb count and dose should never change, but you can play about with timing etc................

for most medium to high GI meals I can find myself taking my injection anywhere from 15 minutes to 45 minutes before eating, this brings the peak of the insulin quite close to the peak of the meal, for slower GI meals the peak will be later on, and much less severe, so an injection closer to the actual mealtime would be more suited, delaying the insulins peak................

Its all trial and error for each individual though as you know, so no real black and white rules as such................

For high fat foods, like pizza etc, there could be a delay in the peak, this can often cause hypos a few hours after eating, then highs nearing the end of the 5 hour insulin duration. This can ususally be dealt with a split dose, so some up front before eating, the rest later on, maybe an hour or two after eating, again, trial and error, everyone is different and some may need a 50/50 split, while others may need more or less up front etc......

so test and record when having these foods and make some decisions on how you react to the foods and when/how to take your insulin.............

Topic: General Discussion / mood swings and comfort food

you just need to get into a good routine to begin with, one that will give you the results you want, you can then start to expiement with different treats and at different time, but slowly though. Eventually you will know your own limits and what balance of carbs/insulin works best for you..............

you can literally eat anything..............

the problem with snacking in between meals is the 'stacking' of insulin, and also it buggers up your insulin action. Having an uninterrupted 5 hours if the most ideal situation for us all, and the healthiest................but remember, its OK to treat yourself now and again............

Thanks ktop10, very interesting and helpful. June 10 is the big day and getting closer by the minute. My background has been reduced dramatically since training began. Only one problem with the pasta thing, I am not at all keen on it. We are working on it though.
