Topic: Carbohydrate Counting / Kendal Mint Cake

from googling, it looks like a chocolate bar............is that the right one.............?

if so, its 95g of CHO for every 100g, so a 170g bar/cake is about 162g of CHO, so for the lot 16 unit[ x ratio]..........

it seems as though its pretty much all sugar and glucose syrup, which would be fine for a hypo, but it has oil in it, which will slow the absorption, and that's no good for a hypo............and you would be looking for about 15g out of the 170 to treat it, so I would imagine not a lot......

Thank you for responding. Only difference I know for definite is my holiday abroad which lasted until Sun 28th morning - much harder to achieve accurate CPs using restaurant.
Prior to these readings I took my BG at 3am on 2 separate occasions although I had had 1 CP before bed both times - results:
2330 1CP BG @ 6.2. Injected 1QA and @ 0325 BG 7.9 then on waking up @ 0700 BG @ 7.4.
and
2310 1CP BG @ 15.5! Injected 1QA + 3 corrective QA and @ 0300 BG @ 14.0 then on waking up at 0700 BG @ 13.3.
I will do again omitting the 1CP for supper and see what happens.
Many thanks - let you know the outcome.

But what problem you are hitting I'm not sure.

I worked out what the problem was, I was downloading via my WiFi connection at work, and the work proxy server had cached the original version I downloaded.
Once I tried again from home it worked a treat. Thwarted by technology once again ;-)

John,

I've just downloaded and installed again too and got the 1.3.r265. Just to be clear here this is a 2 step process: 1) use the browser on your phone to download the file; 2) click on the downloaded file to then be taken through the install or replace process.

But what problem you are hitting I'm not sure. To work around it I'll email you the file directly. Give me 15 mins.

Hi Keith,

The version available on the site seems to be 1.0.r251 again.
I made sure that I cleared caches and even tried used a different machine to download it. Of course I'm willing to conceed that I've done something stupid.

Regards, John

Topic: Carbohydrate Counting / Kendal Mint Cake

Does anyone know how many carbs are in this? It has nothing on the packaging to say. But during a recent holiday it seemed effective at treating hypos (nibbling a bit and guessing when to stop).

The "1.3.r265 BETA" is now available for download. (The delay in posting was my fault.) It has these fixes in it:

6. Icons on the main screen no longer dimmed.
7. Values with a single decimal point are supported in the CP, QA and BI fields now as well as the BG field.
8. Previously entered comments are offered in an auto-complete list on the comment field after one character is entered.
9. The options menu has been re-arranged to make it a bit easier to jump into carb lists when editing a diary entry.
10. The BG average calculation has been corrected to ignore diary entries that have no BG value set.

and of course the earlier "1.1.r255 BETA" fixes are also there:

1. If in "Auto-Calculate QA" mode, update the QA value if either the CP value or the QA:CP value changes.
2. If the Type field is changed, always update the QA:CP field to the value stored in Targets.
3. Distinguish visually between a manually entered QA or QA:CP value and an automatically populated one (using italics for the latter) to provide a visual hint on what is going on.
4. Fix the bug identified earlier where a CP of 6+2 is only counted as 6 in the "Auto-Calculate QA" mode rather than as 8.
5. Fix the bug where when editing an existing entry the QA:CP ratio was always being set to the default (from the Targets) not the previously saved value.

You can upgrade preserving your existing data and settings by just installing again.

I'll be looking to create a release version at the end of this week.

Welcome,

A lot to take in there, have you any specific problems you are not sure about.........?

First thing I look at is whether you are holding steady overnight to see if the BI dose is right, you seem to be falling, all be it, there a other factors involved, like QA, but this would suggest maybe too much........

Have you tested your BI overnight with no carbs or QA in the system.........?

Hi
I have my annual review appointment on Thursday 1st September. I have just re-found the DAFNE online (forgotten to try it out-sorry) however I have attached my last few days diary for you to review. I have been on holiday from 21st to 28th August so it has been a bit out of sorts and I had a few low BS readings so reduced my BI to prevent it going low overnight.
Using this format I can clearly some of my errors - forgetting to inject for those snacks is a big one and obviously has a bad effect on my BS before meals.
Any advice appreciated - many thanks.

Topic: General Discussion / SUGGESTION

I would personally get some more overnight readings, at first glance it seems as though you are dropping overnight with your current BI dose........so I would investigate that.........

you seem to be high most of the time, so logically you should be starting at your breakfast ratio, and then working from there on wards.......

Might also be worth doing some BI testing during the day with some carb free meals/miss a meal............

your heading in the right direction though..........

When did you graduate...........?

The nurses at monklands are usually quite good at advising via email if you think you need help from the "professionals"
