Topic: Site Development / DAFNE Online iPhone application - help with content/design needed yes, we hope to do an android version. However how soon it will be available depends on how quickly I learn how to do it and then implement it. Hopefully this will be in the not too distant future, but I can't make any guarantees exactly when. |

Topic: General Discussion / Introductions Welcome Jennifer,I work in Oakham and have been type 1 for 58 years. so, if you need a chat or advice, I'm close to hand. I was the same when I was younger and my wife tells me I haven't changed much, but I like to think I know what I'm doing now. My HbA1C is certainly dropping steadily, so I must be doing something right. Phil |

Topic: General Discussion / Introductions Welcome Jennifer...............I have been diabetic for 11 years and for about 7 of those years didnt really control it effectively, not that i didnt want to, I didnt know how to.... DAFNE changed that for me, at least my attitude anyway, I test all the time and follow the principals religously..........I have dawn phenomonon though and its really starting to annoy me..........a pump may be the only other option..... Anyway, life story over...............welcome again.......hope to see you around on a regular basis........ |

Topic: General Discussion / Introductions Hello fellow diabetics. I completed the DAFNE course in Rutland in October 2009, but have only just signed up to this site. I have been type 1 diabetic since 1992, which was diagnosed in my early twenties totally out of the blue - to this day I still feel that if I hadnt had my urine tested I wouldnt be diabetic today!I am a very negative diabetic and so far, reading posts here, already feel more positive. I continue to struggle with my control and my weight and with a young family am now feeling that I need to take more control of my life. I'm using the iPhone App to monitor my suagrs and just want to join this community of fellow diabetics to share my thoughts, worries and successes - hopefully! Look forward to joining the forums!

Topic: DUAG Committee / Welcome and Thank You Hi Folks,I wanted to start this facility with a big thank you to Mark and Simon for providing this feature so quickly after our meeting on Friday and here we are on the following Monday with it up and running. I do hope it will be used as intended and we each use it to maximum extent. Indeed it would be a good idea if each one of you gave an introductory message just to confirm we have full coverage. From the meeting there is much to do and I hope our 'enforcer' will likewise use this medium to ensure we keep moving forward. Regards, Brian PS Now off on leave for 2 weeks so I will be out of contact!!! |

Topic: General Discussion / Hello! Hi everyone. My name is Fred and I'm a DAFNE graduate from Newcastle. I'm 34 now and was diagnosed in 2007. I was treated for type 2 for two years before my GP finally realized that there was something wrong when my HbA1c would go below 10!My initial reaction to DAFNE is fantastic!! We so need to spread the word to other Type 1's. My BG level hasn't been above 8 this weekend. Anyway this is my first week in the big wide world "alone" so we'll see what happens eh? C U all soon. X Fred |

Topic: Questions for HCPs / Rising morning BG knowing the 'Dawn' Phenomenon is not present You could although 7 injections might be considered a bit excessive by some, it was done in a clinical trial and got pretty good control for those who put up with it but hasn't caught on, on the basis that it is not really practical.

Topic: Questions for HCPs / Rising morning BG knowing the 'Dawn' Phenomenon is not present Instead of 'free mixing', why can't you give yourself your dose of QA insulin and then the small dose of BI from a different pen?Alan |

Topic: Questions for HCPs / Rising morning BG knowing the 'Dawn' Phenomenon is not present Sorry about the jargon, it means using a traditional syringe and needle (not many people using disposable syringes any more) and drawing up the two different insulins from vials. very complicated and old fashioned and impractical. |

Topic: Questions for HCPs / dawn phenomenon... how to stop the rise? I don't think a 2 day carb free approach is a great idea as cutting out carbs from the diet will tend to reduce blood glucose more generally and provide an artificially low glucose profile, a 12-24h period should be sufficient to measure the effect of background insulin alone. I also agree that twice daily Detemir is probably the best of relatively limited long acting insulins. At least two of the insulin companies are working on even longer acting insulins but whether they will prove more useful is yet to be shown. Simon |

Topic: Questions for HCPs / Rising morning BG knowing the 'Dawn' Phenomenon is not present Actually there is some evidence that multiple small doses of an insulin such as Humulin I or Insulatard with each meal alongside quick acting insulin does work pretty well but it does involve free mixing of insulin in syringes so not terribly practical. on the basis that an insulin pump replaces background insulin most effectively then probably for those who are prepared to be pushing the envelope in terms of glucose control and effective self management, this is probably the best solution, that is if a pump is acceptable.
