Topic: DAFNE Online Mobile / Android app

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]

Hi Ian,

The app should be working with your version of the iPhone operating system - it should have generated some crash reports which I'd be grateful if you could share them with me.

Here's how to get them:

If you could send me all of the DAFNE Online***.crash ones to [email protected] I'll try and figure out the problem.

Thanks,

Simon

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

Are there any DAFNE dieticians/nutritionists that can shed any light on this theory? If it's true it would presumably apply to other foods DAFNE suggests you don't need to use QA for like pulses and nuts (both of which I have to inject for)...

Thats why for me my exercise needs to be at the same time, when I have insulin on board to deal with the extra glucose..............

Do you find yourself ever going high after it? When do you exercise.....?

if I have a BG of around 6-7 I would eat extra carbs and take a swig of lucozade, I tend to find by the time I finish (1hour later) I have dropped again. If I have a high BG of around 13 then I do my workout and find I drop an hour later.

Sometimes I can go to bed with a reading of 14 I don't take extra CPs but climb overnight so my morning BG would be around 19, othertimes I take a correction does and can be in target or hypo. It's never the same but I need to be in a routine for it to average out and it's playing the game which can be very annoying especially when trying to have tight control!! Smile

I think for the iPhone 3G, the version you have is the latest and final OS release...........so it probably wont be the OS, unless the app has been developed for the 3GS onwards..........which would include the 3GS, 4, Touch and both iPads.......

Simon might be able to shed some light....... Smile

So its looking like my theory may have some substance.............Its not actually my theory, a pumper suggested that because she was only on the quick insulin that this was why she counted...........

Does the level of your BGs not effect your decision to exercise, it does with me.........

I would prefer not to eat anything extra just so I can exercise, and so the window of opportunity to work out is slim, mainly after my dinner in the evening...................

How do the rest of you do things...... Question

I'd be interested to know how you got on at weightwatchers Jess, and if it would benefit a type 1. Carb counting at first is daunting but once you get the hang of it it becomes second nature!

Good luck Laughing

I joined weightwatchers last night with the aim to loose weight and make myself count my carbs (I haven't been focusing on this recently and I feel sluggish because my sugar levels are not great)! I figured if I can count points to loose weight I can count carbs for my diabetes!!

Good luck!!

Topic: General Discussion / Metabolic Rate Calculator

Hi all

If you go to this site http://www.truthaboutabs.com/freebonus you can download amongst other things a
metabolic rate calculator.
This calculator will approximate how many calories your body needs daily to maintain the same weight.
In addition, calculations are provided that approximate how many calories per day you would need to consume to either lose weight or gain weight depending on your goals.
It is a MS Excel file.

Hope it helps someone.

Derek

Topic: General Discussion / weightwatchers

I only started back at the gym last Monday and made it every night (5 days) plan to do the same to get back into routine. Got my Hba1c last Thurs - 9.5% 3 months ago I was 8.4%!!! Had 3 lazy months of no excercise, eating crap. I feel disappointed in myself but I no that I'll get that figure down it's just going to be hard work. The gym instructor said I could loose 1lb per week if i stuck to a 2000 calorie diet and 5 days excercise Shocked

I'm also getting myself in shape for pregnancy so I need to loose those lbs and get that figure down, aiming for December......a big challenge!!

I think i need to get my head around calories and carbs and stick to the excercise......but all suggestions welcome Smile

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

I am on a total daily BI dose of 70, so no shortage of slow acting insulin to mop up the slowly released carbs of sweetcorn, that's my theory anyway..............that theory being, that the less BI you take the more chance things like sweetcorn/baked beans will have a noticeable effect on BGs.......
