thanks a million... i love the dexcom seven sensor.... last dec 2008 my medtronic pump was giving me trouble. and the dexcom seven sensor saved my life... thanks again jbeeny davebeeny@hotmail.com
Hi Scott, you are so right - it is time to make you heard. They claim that too many calibrations will confuse the CGMS. This may be true but the reason is not the frequency of measurement but the algorithm for sensor calibration in the CGMS. So th...
As some of you know I am the founder and main developer of the free Glucosurfer project. With the help of one member of this great community we have developed an import filter for the Dexcom 7 device. The Dexcom software can export all data as an ...

Your feedback on Glucosurfer.org
October 2008
In the year 2005 I stopped to manage my written diabetes diary. It all seemed a burden to me and the benefits for my glycemic control seemed so little. I looked for solutions to manage my diary online with my mobile phone. But the solutions I found wanted me to reveal my identity. Luckily I met the right people at the institute for diabetes research and we developed our own solution called Glucosurfer.org that is usable in full anonymity, free of charge and financed by donations.
Everyone who is curious what this system can do for you is invited to take a look at my personal diabetes diary that I am managing daily (use the mouse to drag the diagrams):
http://www.glucosurfer.org/goto?diagram&language=en&user=278&share=3788281
I have created the group Glucosurfer.org users and I am looking forward to read your constructive feedback or questions there.
In some phases of our lifes we will struggle with our diabetes. Here the community with all its experienced diabetics can offer its helping hand. Even if you are not using Glucosurfer regularly you can use it for times of crisis. Just log your values for one or two weeks and share your Glucosurfer log with the community. I am sure you will get the support and encouragement to address your problems.

Users of Medtronic or AccuCheck pumps can now upload their pump files to Glucosurfer.org. This is very convenient since these pump models are acting as digital diaries. If you have a pump from another manufacturer you are invited to upload their files in CSV or XML format. We will analyse these files to learn how to import them.
Greetings from Germany,

Server down :-(
This morning something happened to our Glucosurfer.org Server. I immediatly knew that something was wrong since my mobile phone could not make a connection. Our provider examinded the situation and reported that the system is rebooting in a cycle. The company where I am working allowed me to leave earlier in the afternoon and I tried my best to fix the problem...4 hours later I decided that the system needs an "open heart surgery". So we transported the server to my home and right now it looks a… Continue

Dan W. said… - Hi Holger -
It looks like I did not have a glucosurfer account before, but do now. To import my Glucose Buddy logs (mainly food, exercise, site changes, etc), I generally send them to myself as a comma separated email - if those could be imported into the comments section of Glucosurfer, or the other way around, that would be great... I would be happy to talk with you in more detail at some point as to how it works so far for me.

- Hi Holger -
Apologies for the delay! I just saw your posting on my profile. Yes, that does sound like a feasible approach - I don't know if you had seen our discussion, but a friend wrote a web app to import the minimed csv file and pull the relevant data out for me to present to my CDE and Doctor (they have a particular format they like...) - but I would love to be able to import this info into Glucose Buddy, or atleast have one resource for all of the info. I think I signed up for a Glucosurfer account, i will check momentarily. In the meantime, here is a pdf of the results from the web app...

Uta Sievers said… - Vielen Dank fuer den Link zum WAP-Ausprobieren! Hat leider nicht geklappt (ich habe den Link eingegeben, lange auf eine Verbindung gewartet, und irgendwann kam dann "Verbindung abgebrochen"), was vermutlich an meinem pay-as-you-go Handy liegt. Ich hatte das mit dem WAP ehrlich gesagt noch nie ausprobiert, aber jetzt weiss ich auf jeden Fall, dass mein Handy/Provider das nicht kann... Du hast echt alles versucht mit mir, tut mir total leid, dass ich technisch noch in der Steinzeit lebe! Dafuer bin ich fast immer am Computer online ;-). Ich wuensch' Dir einen guten Start in die neue Woche!

- Bin sehr stolz, dass ich den file eingebunden gekriegt hab (oh je, mein Deutsch!), ich hoffe, Du kannst den Artikel ohne weiteres runterladen. Das mit dem WAP hab ich mir ganz ehrlich noch nicht so genau angeschaut bei meinem Handy, ich weiss nur, dass ich ein ziemlich kleines Display habe und pay-as-you-go customer bin... wie gesagt, beim naechsten Handy wird alles besser.
Meine Diabetologin besteht drauf, dass ich alle Werte per Hand eintrage, fuer den Fall, dass mein Messgeraet (fuer das sie eh kein Kabel hat) abschmiert. Aber mein eigentlicher Grund, mich noch nicht mit Glucosurfer zu beschaeftigen, ist, dass ich im Moment nur Basalinsulin (Lantus) einmal abends spritze und sonst weder Broteinheiten zaehle noch mir sonst viel Gedanken machen muss... lang lebe der Honeymoon! Wenn der vorbei ist, dann siehst Du mich garantiert auf Eurer Webseite - und bis dahin auf TuDiabetes :-)

- Hallo Holger, vielen vielen Dank für die ganzen Informationen, ich werde mich mal schlau machen, wie das alles zusammenhängt (wie ein Freund von mir meinte: Du hast Dein ganzes Leben Zeit...). Glucosurfer habe ich mir schon vor ein paar Wochen angeschaut, nachdem ich einen Artikel in einer deutschen Ärztezeitschrift über verschiedene Messmethoden und -geräte gelesen habe. Genau der WAP access ist das Problem - mein Handy ist leider zu alt für sowas... aber beim nächsten Handy sehe ich zu, dass sowas mit eingebaut ist (und informiere mich über die Tarife hier in Italien). Kennst Du Leute, die Glucosurfer von Italien aus benutzen? Viele Grüsse aus dem regnerischen Rom ins (sicher?!) regnerische Münster!

Brigitte said… - I make only 1 shot of Levemir. It works 24 hours for me. And I can have a low in the night and a good bs when I wake up. For instance, a low at 3 in the night with 52 on my glucometer, I eat 10 grammes of sugar and , when I wake up at half past 6, I'm at 122. I think Levemir works well. I really think that this insulin is better than Lantus. Have a nice day and good work.
