If you take a look at the top of the diary view, there is now an Export as PDF option, which will download your diary in a format which can be attached in an email and sent/read by your DAFNE Educator, if they have adobe reader installed (most people do).

Let us know what you thiink!

Probably best using the template, that way you can use a new one every year.

Ok! cant do any harm putting my web address here, just go to http://www.gibsonweb.co.uk Just follow the link to Spreadsheets. I have incorporated a similar calculation method to the database on this site, tho not as elaborate, using excel formulas and vb coding, just makes it more portable i guess, especially for people with limited Internet access and no smart phone. Just one of my pet projects. Let me know your thoughts. Cool

Yes, I've been wondering how to record basal rates. It would need to have an entry for each hour and repeat each day until you changed it. Then you could keep track of it and it might help so that you could change the basal rate by a percentage for specific times of month/weekends etc.

Hi All

I have just finished constructing a spreadsheet to record all my BG's and Carbs etc, i've even constructed a dosage calculator as part of the spreadsheet where you can automatically copy and paste your results, anything for an easy life Smile

If you would like a copy message me and i will send you the link to my web site where you can download it, i've created the spreadsheet and a template for either Excel 2007 to 2010 and Excel 97 to 2003.

Aye as long as it's still availible to export into XL as my screen reader is a bugger to use with Adobe. It displays well for me in XL and i can read and adapt it if i need to like hiding rows and columns.

That sounds the ideal solution Simon. Sure way to enable a consistent output.
I don't think anyone can be short of Adobe for the web world of today.

hi, the card counting book is available in PDF, you can access it by clicking here Its true I dropped the accompanying text from the book and on occasion had to abbreviate the descriptions to fit into the web format. With regards to reading labels when out, in an ideal world all food will have what are called '2D barcodes' on it. This is the new kind of barcode that contains more than just a number but can contain a lot of text allowing things like product details and extra information. At the moment these are used as gimics and contain links to websites etc but could be used for a lot more. There are free readers for these in the app store. Anyway enough of the techno babble, hopefully the PDF version will help and the course is going well.

Hi all,

Your results will vary when copy-pasting to an email program from your web browser, as there isn't any consistency as to how web browsers copy the things you select, hence it seems a bit hit and miss.

One thing I did think of - I'm sure it would be possible to generate a PDF (adobe reader) file from the diary view and then attach that to an email.

If this sounds like a decent solution for you then I'll get working on it.

Thanks. I tried both of your suggestions. The xl did sort of work but is doesn't look like a normal diary. So I'm not sure how easy it is to read. Might have to get used to it.

I also tried the copy to the word processor but I couldn't get the font small enough for it to fit across the page.

Topic: Questions for HCPs / Accessibility for Blind/ VIP diabetics

Day one and I'm finding it all ok but was wondering if I could get the book that gives the carb portions as a pdf or pref word doc?
the carb counter on this site is accessible but there isn't as much info as in the book.
I'm currently looking for other ways to help me count carb, i know there is an iphone ap that reads label, OCR but way too expensive.. i'm just wondering what i do when i'm out on my own and can't read labels or judge a portion size. Hmmm
thanks for your quick response.

Jenny,

Have you tried cutting and pasting from the printable into a word document. This works as i have just tried it.
Then you can attach the word document and e-mail it.

Try that.

Just wondered if anyone else has this problem or if is just me. (not related to updated website happened on new an old)

I like to copy and paste my diary to send to my diabetes nurse. Sometimes when I do to it just pastes a load of gobblydegook, some sort of computer code with my diary sort of visible but not in a readable format. It doesn't do it all the time. I have tried copy and pasting from the printable view and the normal view.

I just wondered if this was a problem with my email (googlemail via iPad) or something else.

Also wonders if it is possible to have an email diary function but I don't really know how these things work.

Thank you

Jenny

Hi

Is it feasible to make the forum text search to also search the contents? I believe it only searches the titles now.
