Topic: Carbohydrate Counting / Jacket Potato Fat does slow the absorption of the carbs............I think the main point I would highlight with different types of starchy carbs and high fat content meals is that its the digestion that is effected, so in theory your insulin/carb ratio should never change, as you will always need the same amount of insulin per 10 grams for that time of day...............its the timing of the dose that is critical when trying to combat slowed or quickly absorbed foods...... |

Topic: Carbohydrate Counting / Jacket Potato Also you're eating it with fat which slows absorption doesn't it?For all types of cooked potatoes I use different amounts and ratios. For fries and mash I need a lot more than I do for baked. I used to have the hypo problem with jackets when going by the book. I had to figure out my own levels on potatoes. |

Topic: General Discussion / Levemir versus Lantus A pump would be far better, but the majority of consultants will only put you forward after all other strategy's have been tested, however it has been known for some patients to get a pump with reasonable ease....... |

Topic: DAFNE Online Mobile / How to download data from iphone app Brilliant, it works! Thanks very much.(it was all made a bit more complicated by the fact that the readings were on my partner's iphone which is easier for me to use when we're out and about and away from the computer) |

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 .......
