Yes indeed, thanks for the spot there John. In my defence, my day job has been rather hectic recently so my brain is addled when it comes to developing the site at night! Smile

All fixed now, let me know if you find any more problems/would like anything new.

Topic: General Discussion / Pregnancy

Hi everyone.....
Just a quick question, I am 28yrs old and did DAFNE a year ago. I am finding it hard to get pregnant but cant find anywhere on the net about type1 diabetes and pregnancies!? What i mean is storys cases what to expect etc....

Does anyone have good or sadly bad stories so I can get a better idea??? Does having Diabetes stop you concieving as normal???

Accu-Chek Compact Plus - I just love the convenience of the 17-tests strip drum held in the machine. Best wishes. Gill

Hi John - ah, sometimes it will appear to the left if you screen resolution is high enough (I have a widescreen monitor so it does for me) but yes it is the box above/left.

Also re the add multiple error - that was my fault and is now fixed - apologies!

Topic: Site Development / Deleting Multiple Diary Entries

Hi Simon .. thanks for that, should be most helpful in sorting errors.

A comment on your instructional note .. 'the box left' shold be ' the box above' ?

Also, trying to update multiple a few mins ago, gave an 'unkown error'. Could be my pc tho as having a few probs at moment.

Cheers, John

Topic: Site Development / Deleting Multiple Diary Entries

We've added support for deleting diary entries now. You will see a check box next to each of your entries in your diary - check this and click the button below the diary and the selected entries will be deleted.

Re the Consistency report - a great idea but pretty complex so will probably take some time - we will work on it though!

Topic: Site Development / Glycaemic Index

I apologise - there IS a reference to the Glycaemic Index in the DAFNE Course Handbook section. It gives a short list of high GI items and a list of low GI items. I appreciate that compiling and maintaining a full Glycaemic Index list would be quite a task, but I'm sure this facility would enhance DAFNE Online's reputation as a source of useful information.

Topic: Site Development / Glycaemic Index

Alan,
While I think this is a good idea, I'm not sure about referencing an external source that we have no control over. The web is a free for all publishing media where often the facts are only a minor inconvenience. For that reason I would rather ask DAFNE Central if they can provide us with GI infromation to publish ourselves. That way it comes from the 'DAFNE' source and hopefully can be considered accurate. I will ask the question and post what I get in response back here

Hi Alan,

In my mind this would fit in nicely with our current CP listing - what are your thoughts?

Thanks,

Topic: Site Development / Glycaemic Index

I couldn't find any reference to GI in DAFNE Online and wondered whether it might be a useful feature. I know that DAFNE allows an 'eat what you like' approach to food, but I've also been told that a meal containing a mixture of low, medium and high GI items can give a steady release of glucose into the system, which is better than a sudden rush of glucose - which a high GI meal gives you.
There are Glycaemic Index tables on the web and I wondered whether a link to one of these (e.g. www.glycaemicindex.com) would be something you might think feasible. A brief explanation of the Glycaemic Index might be necessary for those not familiar with it.

Topic: Questions for HCPs / GLUCOPHAGE

Hi,
You don't give any indication of how long you have been taking them, a day, a week, a month ? I don't think you can expect any drug to
work immediately although when you were prescribed the Metformin they should have given you some indication at least of how quickly
they will take effect. I think you should ALWAYS carry on taking them unless you agree with your Diabetes team that you will stop taking them. If they are not working why not contact your Diabetes Team and ask them why they are not having the expected effect.
Out of curiosity, have you always been insulin resistant ? I ask because a lot of DAFNE Centres will not take people with insulin resistance
onto the DAFNE course, mainly because their 'requirements' are different to Type 1's in general who tend not to be insulin resistant. Thats
not to say people with insulin resistance cannot do the DAFNE course, it just tends to be 'easier' if all participants have the same general background in terms of their Diabetes requirements.

Topic: Site Development / Meter Upload Development

Hello,

It's getting really close now. I have a program that can handle BG readings from UltraEASY and UltraSMART now, and we've started work on the uploading part.

So far I can login, request BG records and create new ones from the website. Theres a little bit more to do, but it's definitely heading in the right direction.

Stay tuned.....

Topic: General Discussion / Coeliac as well as Diabetic?

hi everyone! i agree with Janys, Genius bread is fab! I have been testing rolls from them, which are very tasty, they are going on sale this year don't know exact date yet, but it is just something great to have as opposed to just bread.
I don't get things on prescription as i don't eat enough pasta, bread to justify it, i didn't know i was Coeliac, but had almost given up bread as i had stomach pains, and would never have found out i had Coeliac until i was diagnosed Diabetic 4 years ago.
Still find it hard sometimes, i work for M&S and some of their new Simply Fuller Longer meals are gluten free and delicious!
Our wee group seems to be getting bigger, thank god as i was beginning to feel isolated.
Sixtall, welcome what is your name?
speak soon everyone

Hi,

Accu-chek Mobile at home, Accuchek Aviva elsewhere.

When tested together, the BG readings were mainly within .5 of each other!

Cheers, John
