Hmm...how do I know when it's done uploading?

[BlueSky]

Brian,

Its a really good idea. And there is a lot of potential. Being able to upload BG readings will be be critical. Will you cater for the AccuCheck Advantage metre? A Member-to-member communication mechanism will also be critical. Perhaps a forum focused on BS level management.

Keep up the good work!

Brian, what kind of help do you need? I'd be willing to help.

By the way, have you ever used HiveMinder? It's a good task management web-based program. I use it all the time for my PTA sites... Helps to not have to write it all down.

[Dewey]

This is awesome, Brian! You definitely did a good job, and it seems like despite minor issues, you got a great thing going there! Thumbs up to you!

2. When the website was launched by the cliet, it launched in IE rather than my default browser.

sweet!! 1) I'll make the text field of type password. Know your password is extremely encrypted when sending it over the net. It is an inconvinience if someone else opens the app and sees your pw - thats not good and will be fixed by next release.

2) Is IE set as your default browser?

Was it very difficult hooking it up? I am glad your meter had less than 50 records (the max it holds), didn't have a meter to test that with. <wipes sweat from forehead>

When IE lauches to your diagrid the data is done. The app needs more work, but it does its job of pushing a button and uploading the data. One bug, that will be fixed, that i hate is the program only works the first time you send data. If you try to send data again, without closing and reopening the app, it seems to hang.

Thank you so much! I can't tell you the amount of work I have done on this site. Its taken over 3 years to get here. I love my current job, so finding time to work on it is difficult. There is SO much more work to be done! I am giving up the weekend to get to a decent version 1.1b up by sunday night! Giving up my kayak day and poker night to work on it, but it's so worth it right now. Thanks again.

I have a cascading style sheet, and I need -
a)to replace links with a different color, color needs to be tbd, by you if you want.
b)Any styles you think would look nice
c)cleaned up and matched to the pages.

Also every place you see a button, I need a graphic for. 3 different button styles to choose from would be nice to see if it is worth the change.

If you would like to do this, that would be great. I'd have to throw together a quick contract and I will set you up on my development server to work with the site. PM me with an email i can send the contract to if you want to do this.

At work I use Project / Project Server / Sharepoint Portal Server / for project/task management, I wrote a helpdesk application for it too that also sends bugs to our dev teams bug tracking system(test track). In the end I always have a hand written task list / info sheet that often contains hieroglyphics the cave men used to map things out. A good pen and piece of white drawing paper will never fully be replaced , thanks for the thought though.

Thanks! The minor issues are actually fixed now (at least the ones I have been catching), but won't be released until the Version 1.1b release. The v 1.0b release went much better than I expected lol. When we first started the company i work at now, the first two years every release had pretty big fires to put out. 3 years after that and we haven't had a single hot fix after a release since then. I am thankful the 1.0b release went so smoothly <knock on wood>.

Brian-

I really like your site. I think it is a great concept and I look forward to seeing it develop and mature.

I’ll wait on an upload client version that will support Accu-Chek Aviva (I’m hopeful that this meter will be supported sometime in the future) as I do not think I will have the time to enter readings manually.

I just have two suggestions. 1- A Diagrid flag with each member’s profile on the View Diabuddy Profiles screen would be very helpful. The flag would show the status of each member’s Diagrid (ie- Empty or Private, or if public, display- Updated on xx-xx-xx as a hyperlink to that member’s Diagrid.

2- In a member’s profile an A1c that ends in .0 is truncated and only shows the whole digit. (ie- an A1c of 6.0 is shown as 6) I think an A1c that is an even 6.0 looks more official when displayed as 6.0 instead of just 6 imho.

2) Is IE set as your default browser?

No, Firefox is.

Was it very difficult hooking it up? I am glad your meter had less than 50 records (the max it holds), didn't have a meter to test that with. <wipes sweat from forehead>

No, it wasn't. Only problem I had was not knowing when it was done. It gave me no indication other than the new results stopped being added. Glad to know it's done when IE launches. That makes sense.

One other minor bug. When I uploaded my data and it made the chart it said, "BrionH's Diagrid" over the chart. I'm not you!

[BriOnH]

Mark,
Accu-check Aviva will be supported soon. The top 5 meters will have connectivity no later then the end of October (I hope! ).

1) totally agree, am also putting it on the search results page.
2) also agreed, but of low priority.

Both are added to the list.

fg,
It should, theoretically open the diagrid with your default browser, but it is written in .NET so it doesnt surprise me MS uses ie to launch it. I'll investigate the problem. lol, does it show your data on the diagrid or mine? Hopefully it's just a page label flaw.

[Funnygrl]

It shows my data on the diagrid (had to check meter memory to see!).

[JasonJayhawk]

Brion,

This is very cool! I actually thought (briefly) about doing something like this to help people in control. I think it will really catch on!

I'm working on my thesis, which deals with data mining to indicate conditions that cause bad/good control. I'm not quite as accomplished with graphics and the sort, and the public side of the data mining is not usable by "humans" yet (it generates rulesets and I haven't been able to work much on the web interface to the backend data mining).

I'm a LAMP kind of person (not .NET!), but once I'm done with it, I sure would like to volunteer with your stuff, since you've got a better idea!

My site only runs when my computer is on (I'm using dynamic DNS, so that can be a problem, too) -- www.liveabetes.com -- I never planned on mentioning it to the public, since it's such a major draft intended for data collection, but I thought you (and maybe anyone else curious enough) might get a kick out of seeing what I've done for my school work. The graphs only draw out with data. I did my first AJAX coding with the food entries for entering food data.

My site changes by the minute when I'm working on it, though -- not very well managed, and the FDA would have a heart attack.

I know what you mean about being all parts of the project. I originally started using a free version of Oracle and decided that Oracle DBA was too much, so I switched to MySQL. hee hee!

Again... awesome job!

Oh... and even more awesome writing the interface for uploading meter values.

P.S. You might like the way my system does the manual data entry -- check out the Preferences and see how the medications aren't hard coded. If you can get any modeling ideas from my prototype, I'd feel like I helped in some way.

P.P.S. I use three meters -- what would happen if I uploaded from two different Freestyle meters -- would it collect data from both?

[Stuboy]

I'd love to help, i have html and css skills (raw coding).

I dont think i could write up full pages on diabetes yet though im still learning most of it myself! I could give it a go though!

Would be nice to be apart of something with this potential.

[Stuboy]

Oh... I also think that it's a good idea to have a "we have X users joined to date". Or just an area with some site stats in it including the number of members!

[JediSkipdogg]

Brion, I hope this goes far. It's really great so far, just need to get the One Touch working (since I'm a one toucher, not a flash person) and then I'll really test it for it's full potential.

[jared]

so i uploaded my meter and almost got a heart attack. i cannot believe ive been diabetic for 16 going on 17 years and im not dead yet...... i need help getting these numbers down.... its scary

thats a screen shot of the error it keeps giving me....but I'm really starting to think it's just me....and right when i get frustrated with it.....i wait an hour and it works again, but i thought i'd try to show you at any rate.
