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)

The upload is kicked off when you save an entry - so try going into one of your entries, making a change then saving it and see if that helps.

Hey

Open the app, tap Settings in bottom right corner, and turn on "Diary Upload". That should do it

I run the app on my iPod Touch, so I have to wait until I am back home within the range of my Wireless router before anything gets uploaded, but if you have roaming internet - I assume that should upload from wherever you are.

Stu

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............ Very Happy

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...

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 ....... Shocked

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.

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.
