[QUOTE="Jake2701, post: 1398127, member: 382295"] Well, I will add mine. I'm husband of T1 "girl" (59 and T1 for 20 years). When I married her 5 years ago and brought her to Australia (I new she is T1, but I liked her, and sadly enough, we both became widower and widow couple years earlier), I got her to all diabetes helpers around. That's when I came across carbo counting lessons, conducted by young girl, in local hospital, in the room looking like a corner store. She was teaching my wife principles of carbo counting, reading labels from empty food boxes and do some maths, and I had to be present to do translations (my second wife came from Poland and has poor grasp of English). That's made me laugh, and I promptly wrote for her program, so she can do it on her laptop, with self-created database of foods she buys or makes. She's been using it for almost 3 years. Then came idea to make phone app. Makes it easier if you eat out. Now she is using her application on the phone, she does it religiously. Thanks to carbo counting her HbA1C dropped from 12.5 to 8.6 within one year. I forgot to tell everybody that my calculator has build-in 4mth time limit. Each update extends this time for another 4 mths. When I perfect the program, I would like to sell it for couple bucks. So if your calculator stopped working, just update it, you won't loose anything of your data. Couple weeks ago I had to take my wife to see her specialist doctor at Baker IDE in Melbourne.(300km). As we would have lots of time before seeing him, he suggested to join some lecture being conducted at the institute. We payed $30 and went in. It turned out to be carbo counting session. My wife doesn't really need it, but I thought I will do a bit of promotion of my calculator. During lesson my wife showed the lecturer how quickly she does her carbo counting using my Diabetic Calculator, she was impressed, but failed to show it to the rest of group. Just said that she will talk about it to me after the lecture. But after the lecture was finished, she simply disappeared. Got the impression that she was worrying more about her job than helping diabetics with carbo counting. I was really disappointed. My wife's doctor recommended calculator to few of his patients, but when I told him about that strange attitude of diabetes educator, he just shrug his shoulders. [/QUOTE]
