Hi Jenny, are you using the Android version of the app? I'd assumed it was the iOS version... if it's the android one then I'll have to check as I don't have that installed Very Happy

Thanks again Simon. I'm sorry but I can't see the plus sign. I'm not sure what you mean by the "list of Carbs". Is it the "Food Groups" category? Jenny

Ah, sorry I got the wrong end of the stick; when looking at the list of Carbs you'll see a plus sign in the top right hand corner - you can use this to add a Carb entry of your own.

Topic: Questions for HCPs / Changed from Lantus to Tresiba

Hi Peter, thanks for that. I agree that the extra insight from a CGM would be invaluable. I have been looking at a few CGM devices recently and my diabetes nurse also recommended the Libre - I am, however, a die-hard iOS fan!! Oh the struggles we diabetics have to endure.

Hi Alan, Agree that the 3am alarm calls are a drag. You could invest in a Libre to get a picture of exactly what's happening overnight. Yes it is expensive but the addition visibility you obtain makes it worthwhile (in my opinion). At least cost has been reduced a little if you have a recent Android phone which supports NFC communications in which case the separate reader is no longer mandatory. IOS version is due next year.

Topic: DAFNE Online Mobile / Add favourites to the mobile app.

Many thanks Simon. I am a new DAFNE graduate after 32 years of being a type 1 diabetic. The course was amazing and I cannot praise it too highly. Regarding my question on favourites, I am looking for a place to store my customised favourites (ie certain meals with multiple food items that I eat on a regular basis). Is there any way of doing this in the app? Kind regards, Jenny

Topic: General Discussion / Multiple Page Entries Rejecting

Hi Simon,
I have been able to repeat my error and have worked out my problem.

I can now see the error message at the top of the page which reads
"Errors found in row 4: Entry time and date are invalid lengths"

Firstly I did not enter a date. I leave all dates as blank if they are the same day as the first date entered. The system in fact entered the date/s when the error was displayed. However, It does not seem to be an invalid length but that's ok.

Secondly, I see I have been entering the time in the same format as it gets displayed on the diary e.g. I have been entering 3:00 for 3am (which is accepted) and 10:15 for 1015am. Obviously the field length is 4 digits only hence the error on line 4 where I entered the time as 10:15.
I have now overcome this problem by entering the time correctly i.e. as 1015

Thank you for your help and I look forward to learning more with your DAFNE Online system. It is great

Cheers......Peter

Hi pmason,

You should see an error message in the highlighted row and also at the top of the screen, are you not seeing this? If so can you send me a screenshot to [email protected] ?

Thanks,

Simon

Hi Jenny,

If you go to a specific Carb Item within the app, you'll see a table row saying Favourite with a star next to it, just tap that to add to your favourites.

Topic: Site Development / Targets for exercise

I have found now where I can Set Targets under the heading "Click here to edit your diary settings" on the diary page.
I was looking for a "Set Targets" heading on the diary page as you instructed Stew.
It would be nice to have the facility under Settings on your top line of all pages.

In the mobile app there is a button marked favourites, but when I click on that it says â€œpresently no itemsâ€œ. How do I add a favourite to this list?

Topic: Site Development / Targets for exercise

Hi Simon,
I can see targets on the diary page under
BG COLOUR LEGEND
On Target
Below Target
Above Target

but no facility to "Set Targets"
I can set targets on my Phone App but these do not carry over to the online version.

Also, when I try to go to your link above you provided for Stew I get the message. "The page you were looking for doesn't exist".

Topic: General Discussion / Multiple Page Entries Rejecting

When I try to "Add All" on the Multiple Entries Page it fails with one particular line being highlighted. However, there is No Error message to say what is wrong or what should be corrected. Where is the error message positioned?
The Ratio (QA-CP) edit part below the Ratio entry square is also highlighted but selecting any of these ratios still rejects.

It is most annoying when you have entered a day's worth of stats but cannot proceed. One then has to go back and enter them individually. Most time consuming. Mad

Ideally, if the error cannot be corrected, there should be the facility to process at least those entries that are correct with the invalid error line reported as to the error.

Topic: Questions for HCPs / Changed from Lantus to Tresiba

Thanks very much Becky for your comment. Interesting that your tests are all over the place too with the Tresiba and you're getting the morning highs. If there is one thing I really hate about diabetes it's setting my alarm for three in the morning for a blood test :-(. As you suggested I am going to organise a visit with the diabetic team during the week and will keep you posted. Thanks again! FYI my A1C was 6.2 on the Lantus with, admittedly, a few lows which I do not think were unmanageable, reluctant to give up on a 6.2 long term result.

Topic: Questions for HCPs / Changed from Lantus to Tresiba

I have only recently done the DAFNE course and myself was having the same problems with highs in the morning after changing from Lantus to Tresiba. Anyway, they told me to change it as you would normally so 10-20% so maybe 1-2 units.

I personally don't think it's for me as my sugars have been everywhere since I've been on it! Hope this helps! If you're still unsure I'd ask your diabetic team Very Happy

Topic: Questions for HCPs / Changed from Lantus to Tresiba

Many thanks Jennifer for your comment. I have checked a few 3am bloods and it seems to be stable, even starting to go high at that stage. I have been looking at a few posts online and one suggested that because Tresiba insulin has such a flat line compared to Lantus that it is not dealing with this "dawn phenomenon" in the same way that the Lantus does. Lantus peaks five or six hours after injecting to deals with the pre-getting up rise in bloods. Think maybe it's time to go back to the Doc!! Thanks again for your help.

Topic: Questions for HCPs / Changed from Lantus to Tresiba

Hi there I am most certainly not an expert but I do also have this problem and have been told to check my BG at about 3am in the mornings as you coukd be having night hypos, sleeping through them, then your kidneys throw out sugar which makes you go higher in the morning , I would just check a couple of 3am BG readings before uping your dose as you could make the problem worse , hope this helps â˜º

Topic: Questions for HCPs / Changed from Lantus to Tresiba

I have recently been moved over to Tresiba instead of Lantus as my background Insulin. I was experiencing a lot of hypo's (especially during the night) with the Lantus.
My previous Lantus dose was 32units before bed, my consultant has asked me to start of 16units also before bed of the Tresiba.
I am finding that my first blood test in the morning has usually jumped from between 5 & 8 the night before (without having eaten anything since 6pm) to between 12 & 16. A correction does of my humalog generally has me ok again within a couple of hours.

My question: should I increase my BI does before bed as I was taught to do with my lantus to counteract this? I understand that the Tresiba graph is a much flatter constant graph than that of the lantus so I am a bit puzzled as to why it is causing BG spikes during the night and not at other times.

Thanks in advance for any help on this topic.

Topic: General Discussion / Is the honeymoon over?

Have you seen this previously? During my honeymoon phase, I kept on having to regularly increase my basal insulin. The new level would last a couple of months, then I would need to increase again due to persistently high BGLs. I worked out that I was at the end of my honeymoon phase when I no longer had to do this.

Also bear in mind that some of us are affected by change of seasons and you may be the same. The amount of insulin required can change a lot as summer changes to autumn or winter to spring.
