I have just finished my 2nd Dafne course and can confirm that you don't inject for them - although I guess if you eat a whole punnet you might want to reconsider that.

Hi Shaun and Janys, well it seems we are few and far between, being Coeliac and Diabetic! I know of one other person whom i met on Facebook. I have sent e-mails to you both and look forward to chatting to you.

Hi, Im quite new to Dafne. I have been diabetic since I was 14 and I am now 24. At the start of being diagnosed I was sleeping a lot and also my sugars were up and down like a yo yo, therefore you have the mood swings and the sugar cravings when low. Its only now that I have started to look after myself more and eat more healthily. At the start you kind of feel everyone is watching what you eat and telling you what to do, like you don't have control but now I see that everyone should eat like a diabetic and I feel a lot better for it.
You should be getting support from the Gp. Sometimes it takes a kick up the bum so to speak, or he will just come to terms with it and see that its not that bad. Just keep with it Megan

Hi

Was wondering if anyone could help, although I am not actually a sufferer of Diabetes my husband is. He recently got diagnosed with Type I and to tell you the truth I don't know who he is anymore. He thinks he can carry on as if nothing has changed. His Doctor is not helpful and the support team are not supporting him at all.

All he seems to want to do is sleep, he can't get levels correct, and can be very argumentative and lazy. I am finding it very hard to live with him as I don't know what type of mood he is going to be in, I cannot even begin to imagine what he must be going through but I do feel he is not helping himself with what he eats (craves chocolate all the time). He goes without his Green Insulin pen for weeks on end and says he forgets to take the orange one. If he does take it its before food and he has been told to take it with food. He has also been smoking heavily, and doesn't seem to care what anyone else says.

I am at my wits end, and I don't know what to do anymore, can anyone help?

Thank you

Topic: Site Development / Deleting Multiple Diary Entries

Hi Simon..

I can support MarkW on this, as a result of using the BG summary report & digging down during a post Xmas/EOY review, I found quite a few data entry errors I had made which needed to be deleted/corrected.

Typically these were date errors (1 day out) causing 10 entries to be allocated to a single day although entered on 2 separate occasions. Also simple entry of BI value in QA box etc

You may feel I've just got thick fingers but I wondered if a Consistency Report could be produced which would advise apparently odd data values as an adjunct (say) to the Summary report or maybe better immediately with the entry errors . The user could chose/flag to ignore or correct if necessary.

There are lots of checks which could be made to highlight major oddities rather than normal variation but perhaps some are:

-Date entered is already on file
-Date missing from sequence already on file
-QA is much higher than usual (say 200% avg) at that time of day
-Usual BI entry missing

No doubt other users can add more checks if you think the report is a possibility.

Let us know what you think.

Thanks, John

Hi Liz,

Glad you seem to have sorted out your BIs now it must make you feel better to be getting in control now.

I did let things go a little at Christmas - not as much as I usually do - don't think I have ever worked out the CP on the Christmas pudding packaging before!! But the DAFNE principles did seem to work even when I was indulging in things I haven't eaten for quite some time. My main downfall was the tin of Hero's. Once the lid is off it is easy to eat more than you meant to but hey its only Christmas once a year and the kids have managed to finish them off now so temptation has been taken away!

How was your Christmas?

Good luck in getting things sorted.

Topic: General Discussion / Weight wanted

Can anyone tell me how to put on weight without sending my blood sugars into silly land ?

I know from being diabetic for nearly 20 years that when I weigh between 9 and 9 1/2 stone I have test results that are, while not perfect, much more as they should be.

I have not had a hypo for several weeks, and my last HbAic was 7.7

Since the middle of December I have maintained a steady weight of 8 1/2 stone.(Yes, this does include over the Christmas period in which I pretty well sat around and pigged out constantly).

I shall, as soon as the snow has gone, be resuming a horrible part time job I have delivering menus round the locality, which I know will result in a weight loss of about 1 stone (based on having done this many times over the last 5 years).

This means by the end of February I expect to be about 2 stone less than I want.

I already eat loads, toast/cereal about 1 hour after I get up, a reasonable lunch and have a full cooked dinner every evening, have home made cake at least 5 times a week, and supper consisting of a sandwich (or more) every night.

Hi Karen, Happy New Year to you too.

Thanks for checking in. I haven't totally cracked it yet but I think my BI's are pretty settled now. And I'm working on adjusting the QAs according to whatever it is that makes them change cyclically.

How are you doing? Did you manage to get through Christmas and New Year with a healthy average or did you just throw caution to the wind?!

Wow, look at all those greens!!! I'm impressed - if you carry on with readings like that I am sure that your next Hba1c will reduce dramatically.

I would suggest carrying on with what you are doing at the moment because it is definately working. Life you said even the reds are below 10 so this is excellent!

Well done Derek and keep up the good work.

Topic: General Discussion / Exercise and diabetic control

Hi Sheila

Any excercise is good for you. I personaly stick to the rules. I go to the gym 4 times a week and each workout takes just over 2 hours intensive training. I found the more I worked out the better my matabulism became and the less basal insulin I needed as Im on an insulin pump. For the hours I work out plus the hour before I drop this down by 50% and also eat 10 grams of carbs.

I hope you continue to work out and enjoy the improvement in quality of life you will get from it.

Hi Karen

Oh it doesn't half make you feel great. At least you know what your doing is right. I am pushing myslef to get below 7% then I can consider pregnancy. Although not for a few years yet but that is my main goal. The last thing I want is a rational reading findin out I'm pregnant and pushing to get tight control.

I have to say though the day I do get told the good news I will be exremley nervous, one cos i will be my first and 2 hypos, my diabetes in general. I see us females are well looked after anyway so here's to motherhood lol!!!

Topic: Site Development / Meter Upload Development

Hi Marke,

The UltraSmart code is a fair bit behind the UltraEasy. What I'll try and do is get it into a state where it connects to the meter and then just dumps the raw hex requests and responses onto the screen. That way more people can have a go at decoding them.

In the meantime, for anyone who fancies a go at some code cracking, here is some code, shamelessly borrowed from someone else's attempt:

std::cout << " glucose level";
int bloodglucoselevel = 0;
bloodglucoselevel = (int) ((unsigned char) buf[6] & 0x03) << 8;
bloodglucoselevel |= (unsigned char)buf[5];
std::cout << " " << bloodglucoselevel << " mg/dL";
if(buf[6] & 0x4) std::cout << " control";
switch(buf[6] >> 4)

I'm afraid I'm struggling to understand the C++ logic operators.

I'm afraid I don't have the details of a low reading I was struggling with (and I'd have to go hypo again to re-create them!). However, two normal readings are:

If buff[5] is hex 'EC' and buff[6]is hex '20' then the BG reading should be 236 (in US format) which is then divided by 18 to give UK format of 13.1

Another reading is buff[5] is hex '95' and buff[6] is '50' then the BG reading should be 149 (in US format) which is then divided by 18 to give UK format of 8.2

Unfortunately, both these examples work if you just convert buff[5] to decimal and divide by 18, ignoring buff[6] altoghether. however, I know for high and low readings this did not work and that the value in buff[6] is significant for these.

Thanks,

NiVZ

Hi everyone

Thanks so much for all the replies and encouragement, just a little bit can help a long way.

Just thought I'd give an update on how things have went in the last wee while, especially with the xmas temptation not long passed.

On the downside my Hba1c has increased from 8.8 to 9.4 BUT I now see that as a minor blip, not the end of the world.

On the upside thanks to regularly taking my Ramapril and Simvistatin my blood pressure has reduced, 120/80 last check, and the cholesterol has reduced from 6.7 to 4.8.

Icing on the cake though is the readings for the last couple of days, I'm absolutely chuffed with these. There are a couple of reds but they're not double figure so I see them as a positive thing Very Happy

. My new year resolution is to test religiously, always write it down and make sensible and appropriate adjustments, slowly but surely.

Hope everyone had a sensible ;-) New Year and all the best ahead for 2010 with your diabetes control and life in general.

Derek

Hi,
Bit shifting, bit stuffing I should coco, for my sins I started life in 'low level' hardware programming before 'maturing' to websites. If you can email mail
us the C++ or the link where you got it I would be glad to take a look. Also any other software you have developed for the Ultra Smart. I have one of these meters so can test it as well. To be honest it would be fun to get my hands dirty with some 'real' code again, instead of all this web stuff :-)
