Repeat prescriptions used to be easy.
I was able to submit a repeat in the morning and pick it up that afternoon, but I have found slightly different problems.
1) You can only have a supply for a month
- I put a prescription in and because I don't use everything every month I ended up with more items than what I ordered.
i.e. Lantus Insulin when it isn't ordered!
I got the lancets without any problem but I was told that I couldn't have the strips because they had just issued one.
The surgery hadn't issued one but according to the records it had been though the prescription was not printed.
The other problem I have is that due to the short surgery hours it is difficult to get to the GP and I use the Boots Repeat Prescription Service but the surgery doesn't like it.

Leaving receptionists to do repeat prescriptions is a recipe for disaster unless they are a registered Nurse.

It's all down to money rather than the Patient's interests.

Agree with novarapidboi26
I get really hacked by admin bull and am quite prepared to go and face out Doc over such matters Evil or Very Mad

Get hold of your GP...sorry book an appointment for a wee chat [bollocking]...directly.
Different matter if you are early ordering an addictive drug...that I can understand...but test strips!
A doctor is there to provide a service.

I find that communicating with the receptionist is pointless/unnecessary..................she should have no meaningful opinion or decision making authority in anything to do with your test strip prescription.......

Your DAFNE educators should have provided you with a letter, I attended Monklands also so I know they SHOULD have done so...but might not have....this letter goes to the doctor and he/she can put the strips on the prescription.....

On my prescription it lists Freestyle Lite Test Strips, but with this I get 2 pots, which is 100................how many do you get........?

Obviously each surgery is different, but your GP should not be interfering with specialist diabetic medical decisions made from the qualified HCPs............

Maybe it was a different doctor signing them off.......who knows, get the letter in from Monklands and book an appointment for a wee chat [bollocking] too..........

Good luck..........................

If possible Simon, please make graph type selectable. I need to work in KISS mode....Keep It Simple (for me as I'm) Stupid.
Abbott have had meter software available for a long time that provides multiple graph formats. Current one is CoPilot. The CoPilot user guide could give you some Idea

s perhaps.

The reason to develop for Android is that it is the most popular smart phone operating system at the moment - see e.g. Android is smartphone king globally; tough fight on for No. 2 spot. But unfortunately if your phone is not running Android (or iOS the iPhone operating system) there is presently no DAFNE app for it.

I don't believe that there are any Nokia phones that use the Android operating system (unless they are well and truly hacked), so even if you could download it, you would not be able to run it.

hi Simon -

fantastic - thank you! i guess a week would be good - or maybe a variable date range, so you could show as many or as few as you wanted?

Hi alex, would this be just a week's range or are you looking for more or less dates? Happy to put this one in for you - just dont want it to look messy.

Hi all,

Sorry about this - made some layout updates to the site and it seems I broke the multiple entries form. Should be working again now - let us know if not.

Topic: Site Development / Request for additional graph format

hi -

great site, and great app (iOS) - thank you.

i've found that recently, by a statistical quirk, my averages are great - the line on the graph runs straight through the green! but this does NOT show that, in fact, i have been recording a large number of low and high values: it just so happens that they average out on target!

what i would find very helpful would be the ability to display a graph plotting daily values over 24 hrs, with a separate line overlaid for each day in the range. is that clear? so there'd be a line plotting all my results for Monday, and a separate (different colour?) line for Tuesday, Wednesday, etc., all overlaid on the same graph.

could this option be added to the site, please?

many thanks for all your hard work,
alex

Topic: Site Development / Add Multiple Diary Entries

Hi guys,
Not sure if you have seen the post by Alan Constable on the General Discussion Forum titled "Blood Glucose Diary" but there seems to a page layout issue whereby the page is not being fully displayed (I'm using IE9) and thus you need to tab to the comments field and tab to get to the next row (as there is no scroll bar at bottom of page).
Easy enough to get round using the tab key and shift+tab but may be more difficult on the mobile apps? (Not tried yet on my iPhone yet).

Sorry if you know about this already.
Thanks,
Anele.
