Topic: General Discussion / test strips 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.......................... |

Topic: Site Development / Request for additional graph format 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  s perhaps.Regards Garry |

Topic: General Discussion / Android App 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. |

Topic: General Discussion / Android App Hi Hornet,
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. Regards, John |

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. |

Topic: General Discussion / Blood Glucose diary Following your comment novarapidboi26 I have just had a play and see that Shift and Tab held down together goes backwards.......... I knew there had to be a sneaky set of keystrokes to do what we neededRegards Garry |

Topic: General Discussion / Blood Glucose diary I only use the Diary via the DAFNE App on my iPod Touch.It looks like the comments field is too small and with the grey background of the screen being protected the field is restricted to what you can view though you can type a lot of data into it. |

Topic: General Discussion / Smart Insulin Jwo, not licensed in the UK means it cannot be prescribed and used in the UK legally. If someone IS using it in the UK they do so at their own risk and must be importing it via questionable means. I would not recommend this course of action since you have no guarantee what you are getting, there are very good reasons to have clinical trials and licensing rules. It is to protect people from those that want to make money out of people. Anyway I'll step off my soapbox now... I agree its worth keeping an eye on the website but I wouldn't get too excited until a realistic date is set to bring the product to market i.e until it is likely to be available to be prescribed to people in the UK. With a product like this it is likely that there are lots of tests needed to ensure it really is safe, Injecting a load of insulin and trusting it to only be used when it is needed is a big challenge and one that really needs to be working correctly before it is used by a lot of people. It would be nice to have something like this but only if it REALLY works effectively. |

Topic: General Discussion / Blood Glucose diary I use the tab button, you can just sift through all the fields, once I have tabbed back to the first field, the date, I just scroll down with the scroller on my mouse to access the save button.......

Topic: General Discussion / Blood Glucose diary Me too. Mine shows up part of the Ketone field. Made several entries and then further problem arises in that without the horizontal scroll bar, once you have made a comments entry, it's difficult to get back to save your entries.Managed it though by moving cursor to furthest left screen field visible and left arrow until it pops back. Sure to be some clever keystoke sequence to overcome this....but don't ask me  Please help Marke Regards Garry |

Topic: General Discussion / Getting partner involved My course was another that did a partner session but my partner was not able to attend. I did try to get my parents to attend instead, but again, had to work.I'd love to do a separate meeting, but considering a meeting I've tried to arrange through this forum with another member had a fairly lacking response, I'm not sure one will ever happen... |

Topic: Questions for HCPs / BG Results
This is another sad example of a service which had trained and set up to deliver DAFNE, but I believe the funding was pulled. Anyone who feels very strongly that they should be able to access DAFNE locally should if possible try to lobby their PCT; put pressure on the 'commissioners'. Whiskysmum, I don't know if the nurse you see at your GP practice is actually a Diabetes Specialist Nurse or just a Practice Nurse who's interested in diabetes? There is a big difference in skills. There are nurses and dietitians at the hospital who have been trained in DAFNE and although they are not currently offering courses, they will have the skills required to give you better guidance. Good luck, Carolin |
