Topic: DAFNE Online Mobile / How to download data from iphone app
I've tried this and although there's no problem downloading from the online diary to the iphone app, none of the app diary is uploading to the online diary! The settings in the app have been changed but this hasn't worked...is there something else really obvious that I'm doing wrong?? |

Topic: Carbohydrate Counting / Nuts! I could only imagine that a considerable amount of them may slow digestion, which may result in a burst of glucose later on, or even a mild unrecognized low to which the liver responds............I dont take for nuts, but everyone is different, that's the catch............

Topic: Carbohydrate Counting / Nuts! According to the DAFNE manual nuts are low GI and don't need to be counted, but it seems that whenever I have some plain mixed nuts my BG goes high - last night up to 17! I even checked the packet last night and even if I use the CP value on there I only had about 1CP, which I wouldn't normally take any QA for.Does anyone else notice plain nuts (not coated or anything) seem to have an unexpected effect on their BG? I've just been snacking on some this morning at work, not so many, but it'll be interesting to see what my BG is before lunch... |

Topic: General Discussion / Advice please as saxman says, you would see higher results, even if you continued to up your insulin/carb ratios, but the critical point would be that you couldn't adjust your QA doses properly, and as you did adjust to compensate, your doses and BGs get even more complicated to understand .......

Topic: General Discussion / Hay fever - BG's gone high Hi again,I've tried a couple of different teas - lemon & ginger - fine for a few days but the aftertaste of ginger was awful so moved onto a spearmint/nettle tea from Twinings and the flavour was really bad. Have still kept the box of teas so I may return to the teas as a last last resort. But I was recommended a gadget called Sneezer Beam by a work colleague - I've bought it and have been using this since Sunday first thing. However I have noticed since using this Sneezer Beam that my BG's have gone up rapidly. I've been looking on the box and the website and there's nothing about being unsuitable for diabetics. The gadget uses narrow dual wavelengths. I dont understand why my BG's have gone up???? I'm now not sure whether to keep using this gadget or not. Can anyone advise? Many Thanks. |

Topic: General Discussion / Thank you DAFNE Hi Everyone,I attended the Bromley PCT DAFNE course with Mark and totally agree that it was brilliant . I'm not there yet but have the knowledge to get there. This site is fantastic, I'm using the mobile app and uploading to this site, so much better than keeping records in the little booklets. Looking forward to running some graphs once I have a fair amount of data. Mark, can you share the correct code with me after you speak to Caroline on Tuesday, many thanks. Have a great bank holiday weekend. Cheers, Ian. |

Topic: General Discussion / BI back down? Hi - I agree with your own daignosis the BI needs to be reduced. Try and follow a step by step dafne appraoch - I know how hard it can be when your whole world feels upside down with either lots of highs or in your case at the moment lows. Start by Lowering your BI - when you get your overnights sorted then start looking at your ratio's in the daytime one by one as I think you are right in saying that things for you will get a bit higher - so they may need to be adjusted - rather than having to correct all the time. I find that i am really sensitive to insulin and raise or lower ratio's by only a 1/4 each time, but my advice would be to try and work on one at a time - as sometimes trying to do too much at once can just cloud what's going on. I too am on Lantus, but take it on a split dose taking it at 10.30 am 5u and 10.30pm 7u - but I am still jugging with it all and have just been going through what you are describing and am still adjusting - have reduced nightime BI and concentrating on getting my teatime ratio right - so I can go to bed on a good level, before I move on and look at my lunchtime ratio. It really is trial and error and it can take its toll on you trying to get it right. Stick with your plan and beieve in yourself and if your still struggling seek advice from your HCP. Good luck. |

Topic: DAFNE Online Mobile / Android app Hi All,I graduated from DAFNE in Melbourne yesterday, and I'd also de interested in an Android app, not that I've seen much of the iPhone one. I agree with AllanR, I've been using OnTrack and putting in the totals (for CPs, QAs & BIs) then writing the adjustment breakdown info in the notes section. I guess it is a stop-gap solution though. - John |

Topic: General Discussion / Some advice please Well, at lunchtime (1.23pm) was 4.3. Had a 0 cp meal and by dinner (7pm) BG was 7.6. Had 1.5 cp for dinner and took 6 units QA (4:1 ratio). Just checked BS just now (9.45pm) and bs is at 10.7.Looks like I will have to go on a different BI or ??. Have a dafne review on the 6th of this month so hopefully I can be sorted. |
