Topic: General Discussion / Handbook and CP List booklets - version differences list

Hi. I am a DAFNE december 2010 grad.

Is it possible to get a list of the changes that have been brought into the new version of the handbook and the new carbohydrate portion list booklet ?

Differences between July 2010 handbook and the latest online version
Differences between carb portion list issue 8 oct 2008 and version 10 Jan 2011 booklet

Perhaps some formatted text files one can do a WinDiff on or MS Word Document Compare?

Regards

Simon

Topic: DAFNE Online Mobile / Android App Diary - iPhone/iPad App Diary & Web Online Diary - One Synchronised Diary

Hi

Just downloaded the Android Dafne Online App. Looks brilliant - Thank you for making it available.

I tried to use it for adding diary entries and uploading the entries but crashes in the app and I did click on the feedback/report option which hopefully sent some info to you yesterday.

I have now updated the diary through the web pages using my PC but I was surprised that the diary entries visible in the Android App not showing my data.

It would be really useful I think if we had a synchronise button and some clever code that merges the online diary with additios or changes from the mobile app. I also have an iPad and have the iPhone App there - Again it would be nice if I can access my diary / update it through the app and for sync option to be provided with auto & manual sync options. The App does have the username and password so it can connect to the main web diary.

regards

Hi Simon,

A great app! We are all grateful to you!

If you care, there is a minor bug for your attention... If you're trying to manually upload records that are in a shorter period that the one you choose, the app crashes (to illustrate, suppose that I am using the app for only 4 days and I am trying to upload manually the last week). Not a huge bug, but there you are!

Best,
Harry

Topic: Site Development / Displayed View of BG Diary and End of Day special setting

Hi

Just started to use the online BG Diary - Thank you very much for providing this facility.

I have set a non standard end of day time beyond midnight and it would be nice if when displaying/printing diary records between specific or default date ranges, for the view to take account of this end of day time setting and treat entries after midnight but before my end of day time to be part of the previous day.

At the moment my diary views start with my bedtime entry rather than the following morning pre breakfast entries.

There may be several places where the end of day needs to come from the Diary Settings value rather than midnight.

regards

Topic: Site Development / Page Breaks for BG Diary Print function

Hi

Just started to add entries to the online diary and used the built-in Print facility: 'Printable view of currently displayed results'.

Would it be possible to force page breaks on day boundary rather than allow print to auto paginate at the wrong places. {When checking for day change, need to bear in mind the end of day time defined in Diary Settings)

Thanks

Simon

Hi Libby,
You can edit (or delete) the entries from the entries icon, a long press on the entry in question will bring up a menu offering you the option to edit or delete.
I have noticed that the count of entries seems not to be accurate, you may also notice that the listed time frame is not accurate either (when uploading a week's worth of data or longer). From what I can tell, the app breaks the information to upload into blocks and uploads them. The details shown in the information box seem to be related to internal working counters and perhaps not relevant to the user.

I use glugo tabs post DAFNE.

I know that each tab will quickly raise my blood sugar by about 1 unit, so I can judge how many tabs I need. I isn't perfect, and I am sure that other methods wouls work just as well, but I have bought a number of the small containers - containing 10 tabs, so what ever coat/jacket etc I have there is a container in it, and I get a large container (approx 50 tabs) from my chemist whenever I get my repeat. It is a simple task of refilling the smaller containers as and when they need replenishing.

It works for me

I am totally loving the android app - thank you clever app designer people!

Two quick queries -

1. It is possible to amend entries online, is it possible to do this in the app? And if not could this (and deleting entries) be considered for future development?

2. When I uploaded my entries it said that there weren't any, but it actually uploaded them (unless I misunderstood what it said) - has anyone else come accross this?

Topic: Carbohydrate Counting / Watch out - Corn on the cob!

The digestion of fat shouldn't have an effect directly on your blood sugar, it might mean that carbs mixed with high fat [pizza] may be digested quicker than most.....

I suppose people do digest at different rates, but different types of food can be processed very differently also in different people.........

its a tricky one, corn, beans, nuts are all slowly digested, but not because of high fat content, its more kind of low complex carb I believe, so things like that could still digest slowly even in someone like yourself who can process fat quickly...............its an interesting topic of discussion and one that I would like to find out more about..............

at the moment for me though, I dont count anything over 10grams, or if it falls in the pulses, nuts, protein or fat category........

Your 16 BI may well be right............the idea was that the total daily dose of BI being on the low side, so , your 16 to my 70, may contribute to the need to count slower released carbs due to the lack of extra BI insulin to process the carbs from these foods.........

Just a theory though........

Oh I see! that's very interesting.
The other thing I was wondering was whether it's caused by the fact that some people digest at different rates. Eg I'm pretty sure I digest fat quite quickly... I don't get delayed bg spikes after gigantic fish and chip suppers like some people do, and I also find that milk chocolate goes into my system pretty fast.
That would explain the need to count cashew nuts, but doesn't explain the corn on the cob mind you!

Hi all,

We're in need of some beta testers for the Android app, which works on Android 2.1+ As testers you'd be required to feed back on the following things
Does the app crash (+when)
Is it user friendly
What could be improved

Please also note that as it is a pre-release version, it may be buggy and have the occasional crash, so be prepared for this.

The idea is that we would send you over the beta version, give you a week to play with it, and then ask for your feedback after the week has passed.

If you feel you can help out, and would be willing to provide feedback, drop me an email at [email protected]

Simon

Hi Simon

I would like to help by giving you feedback on the app.

Hi I am a DAFNE graduate from last year and until now have used On Track app while waiting for this one. I downloaded it yesterday and it seems to work fine except for a couple of annoying things: cannot find a way to delete a wrong entry if as I did yestterday the decimal point did not register meaning a 63 instead of 6.3, and the keypad on the screen changes from numeris to alfa-numeric when entering BG, CP etc., one last thing is can you email your readings summaries to yourself for printing as you can with On Track where it comes in csv or as a Html with a graph?

Hi Russell,

You can edit (or delete) the entries from the entries icon, a long press on the entry in question will bring up a menu offering you the option to edit or delete.
As far as I know you can't email your information, but you can upload/sync it to the dafneonline.co.uk site (only visible to you). From there you may be able to get the information you are after.

Regards, John

thanks for your help John

Hi Kerry and Wayne,

I'm really sorry - it seems your email address was translated wrongly when I shared it with Keith, our Android developer so you didn't get the beta test email.

Having said that, you can now download the app from this link

As ever your feedback is most appreciated, and sorry again for the confusion.

Thanks for the info. I dont particularly want to go back to my Blackberry just to use the DAFNE android app, so will carry on accessing DAFNE on-line through the mobile net. The N8 camera beats any blackberry hands down, dont really want an iPhone either, they're too expensive and not robust enough, so can cope without the app for another 18months or so.
