Topic: General Discussion / The Hospital - Channel 4

Maybe I was a little harsh Simon. I am sure somewhere out there there are doctors who are kind and supportive. But I have not met any and can only speak for my own experiences. Maybe I have been unlucky. I wish I could find a doctor or medical professional who actually cared. I try to be hopeful when I go for appointments but each one just ticks the boxes and gets me out the door again. The last one did not even check my feet or ask to see my diary. He was more interested in pressuring me to have weight loss surgery. This seems to be the favoured solution for my doctors rather than asking about my mental wellbeing and trying to deal with all my many and varied issues involving food, diabetes, and my father's death when I was 18 months old, which have plagued me all my life. Instead of doing what I think is their job and investigating the actual reason why I am struggling with diet and exercise, they would rather I had my stomach removed. Nice, eh?

Hi Lizzie. I am straying a little from the 'questions for health care professionals' forums in posting on this thread but I think you are being a little hard on medical staff here and hope we have learnt a bit a bit over the years. Those of us who run clinics for young people can see very clearly how tough it is to manage diabetes on top of coping with being a teenager.
The difficulty is finding the right approach to let young people know they are supported and doing anything in our power to help them manage their diabetes more successfully. Many just hate having diabetes and it is scary to see people stopping their injections and ending up in hospital with dka or running sugars around 30 for weeks on end. I agree we haven't yet learnt the best way to support them but hopefully in clinic no-one is judgmental just exploring the best way to give the right level and type of support. I couldn't agree more that taking people round the kidney unit or showing horrible pictures is completely crass and wrong.
We are currently exploring ways of supporting people with a team of nurses/dietitians who are there for families outside traditional clinic settings. We hope this will offer better support in terms of education (when it is wanted/needed), dealing with family conflict and encouraging even small positive steps for kids to look after their diabetes a bit more effectively. It is challenging however and we will get many things wrong as well as hopefully a few things right. If it got rid of the traditional diabetic clinic which doesn't seem to suit most young people,and replaced it with something more effective, I would be very happy. Simon

Topic: Site Development / New Meter Upload Development

Spent lunchtime today going over the code I already had to refresh my memory. And also getting my meter working with Windows 7 (need to use the cable driver from the Prolific website as the OneTouch one doesn't work - think Marke mentioned this a while back)

Going to start coding a very streamlined easy to use app from scratch with very few options. Just read the data from the meter and submit to website with as few clicks needed as possible.

I'm planning to do each part in very small steps, ie

1. get it finding the data cable (COM port)
2. speak to the meter (initialise, get serial no, settings, etc)
3. read data back from meter (just date/time, BG and comment to start with) and display on screen
4. send the data to DAFNE online (either overwriting exisiting values or figuring out the last value and only writing newer ones)
5. get it to read the insulin and carb data (something I've not tried)

I plan to release something at each of the steps above which I would be grateful if people could test at each stage. The more testers the better to ensure it's working on everyone's meter. The response has been a bit underwhelming so far, but hopefully more people might be encouraged once theres something to try out.

I'm going to keep the user interface very simple (probably just a text box telling you what the program is currently doing) so that it is easy to figure out any problems that arise.

I'm hoping to have the first release for step 1 very soon for people to try.

Thanks,

NiVZ

Hi,
To overcome this hurdle, couldnt you have a feature where a user can enter all the information themselves.
So I can enter the food, portion size and carb count.

This would overcome this problem and be a excellent feature to have, you could build your own diary with other foods as well.
Definitely would be the best way to go.

I would ask your doctor before trying anything like this. Just because something is 'natural' does not mean it has no adverse effects.

Simon, I don't think a 'kick up the backside' is what people need. I went through a bad period that lasted years and I do blame the doctors for that. They put me on MDI without telling me how to adjust my insulin. The emphasis was all on restricting food as if I was still on 2 injections of mixed insulin. My HBA1C must have been through the roof but they never mentioned it, or my obviously faked blood sugar results in my diary. They booted me out at 15 as my working parents could not take me to the clinic and missed some appointments. There was no continuity of care they just dumped me. I got myself referred to adult clinic but it was so miserable with no support I stopped going and did not see a dr for years. Sadly I do not think my experience is unique. Doctors are appalling at dealing with teenagers or diabetics in general. They expect you to be a machine and if you are human and make mistakes they have not a clue how to support you. They neglect to tell you vital information about how to deal with hypos, adjust insulin...the list goes on. They are happy to just see you once a year and leave you to struggle in between appointments. Teenage years are hard enough for people, for diabetics they are even worse. We need support not criticism. In fact, all the scare tactics people used made me worse - they scared me rigid so I could not even think about my diabetes and avoided testing so I did not see the high results. If I was high I did not know what to do about it due to the doctors not telling me, so I did not bother testing. I think that at least for some of these teenagers their fierce bravado might hide terrible fear and the doctors showing them images or telling them about amputations or blind people and how irresponsible they are just makes that worse, makes them more resistant and obstinate, more terrified to face their condition. Not everyone is irresponsible. Doctors are neglecting their duty of care to find out the real reasons why teens do not check their blood sugar or manage their condition. Blaming the teenagers is lazy and despicable in the part of the doctors in my opinion.

Thanks for the welcome novo.

I asked if she could come on my dafne course with me as it was on in the first week of the summer holidays but apparently you have to be at least 18. She would have hated it anyway but that's her age, she wants to be with her friends not fellow diabetics. I personally loved it!

Topic: General Discussion / Introductions

Just realised from Addie's post that I should have introduced myself before.

I'm Caroline, diagnosed T1 in December 2003. I did the Dafne course in July 2010. It was great to meet other people with Type 1 who had been diagnosed for a long time (some over 30 years) and see that they had no complications. I don't work as I also have multiple sclerosis which causes great fatigue.

Before dafne my hba1c was 8.7 , and I am hoping that this will improve. I have dawn phenomenon which I think has been helped recently by having alcohol before bed!

My daughter was also diagnosed T1 (no other diabetes in my family history) in October 2007 when she was 11, her last hba1c was 10.4. She was 14 this month and has never really accepted her diabetes, I am hoping that with maturity will come acceptance.

Oh, and I recently bought an Ipod Touch with my birthday money so I could download the dafne online app which I think is great!!

Best wishes.

Caroline

Hi all

I am Adrian, diagnosed Sept 2004, graduated North Tyne Hostipal DAFNE course June 2006. DAFNE changed my life beyond all recognition. I was really struggling with the whole pre daphne diabetes regime. Suffered from depression and all of crap. Anyways DAFNE revitalised my life.

I changed jobs - was an area sales manager for Cadbury Trebor Basset pre DAFNE, flooding the north east with as much chocolate and sugar confectionery as possible had somehow lost its appeal!. I now work as a public health nutrition researcher at Newcastle University developing portion size assessment tools and computer systems for dietary assessment in the public health arena at national surveilence and local intervention levels.

I have had good months and bad months with diabetes. HbA1c is always around 8.2 to 8.7 but never broken the less than 8 barrier. Seem to have intermitent dawn phnomeon vistis every wee while. Would dearly love to get further understanding of fitness and physical activty.

I have just found this site in the last couple of weeks, I dont think it existed when I graduated. It is excellent. Big thanks for all the good work Simon and Marke appear to have done ( especially the iphone app ) that I think is amazing.

All the best

Hi Simon

Ive had the app for a couple of days now and just wanted to comment on the quality and simplicity of the functions you have created. I cant tell you how delighted I am that the DAFNE interfaces have got 21st century. It is having a very positve effect on my overall control and willingness to keep a full and complete diary. I always found the paper diary quite a barrier to continued entries, especially for snacks and drinks outside of nornal main meals. However having the app in my pocket at time of consumption is brilliant.

Keep up the good work

Hi, I'm new to all this having just seen Anitab for a yearly catch up group session.

After she installed the virtues of Dafne Online I thought I'd start using it.

On thing I would like to suggest (if no-one has done so already)......

Can you consider a "Sick Day Rules" section?

Perhaps linking it to our personal BG info so that it can calculate the Total Daily Dose based on our last day's BG entries and then serve as a reminder as what to do next.

I'm a very sickly person at times! and when I'm not well I tend to get confused and forget whether or not I should count my BI as well as the QA insulins. Then theres the list of percentages to look down. Am I looking down the right one? Just how many times to I have to double and triple check I'm doing it right before I finally get some insulin in me?!

I think this would be a great thing for young elderly and middle-aged alike and to help boost our confidence to know we're doing it right at a time when we feel ill and vulnerable.

I just thought it could further help to take the guesswork out of things (or in my case, reduce my error rate!)

However.... if you already have this on your site.... do let me know where 'cos I can't find it.

Are you on Lantus or Levemir? - and how many injections a day? It may be that your base insulin is running out in the evenings. Also did you drink anything with meal?

Type 1 for 12 years - Dafne for 4years. Seem to have developed new problem during early evening. Last night score of 10 before supper - only had 2 small potatoes with meal, plus fruit afterwards. Have regime of 3:1 in evenings of humalog so injected 12. Bed at 11.00pm and score was 19. Had normal basal insulin + 6 extra humalog. This morning score of 10. Have noticed this trend for last few days. Anyone recognise this pattern?

Hi Brian - thanks, some constructive comments there. I'd be interested to hear other users thoughts on how the data is inputted - happy to go with the majority on the best way to input things. In the next update I'll add something to allow you to map times of day to entry types.

Karl - thanks, it was too late to get that change into this version, but will be fixed in the next update.

Keep the feedback coming!
