Thanks Simon (and Mark)

Season's Greetings to you and thanks for the good work you've done on the DAFNE website - I find it a great help.

Keep up the good work,

Topic: Site Development / Date Helper problem

When doing the 'multiple entries' option in the BG diary, the 'date helper' option for today gives 11209, which is then flagged as 'field length' problem.

Topic: Questions for HCPs / Should I split my Levemir?

I currently take one injection of 17 units of Levemir before bed. My BG before bed last night was 10.9. I didn't take any Humalog to correct this. My BG this morning was 3.8. A similar thing happened the night before: 9.7 before bed and 4.1 first thing. I have noticed this happening more and more recently. Would splitting my Levemir injection sort this out?

Topic: Carbohydrate Counting / Persimmon

I bought a couple of Persimmons from our local supermarket and I couldn't find the CP for these.
They are a Spanish fruit, about the size of a large apple, with a shiny orange skin. They seem like a cross between an apple and a nectarine. The flesh is soft and juicy, there is no core, stone or pips - you eat the whole thing. I recommend them. Any ideas as to the CP for these?
