1. I can install the application on my phone but after start up the phone gives an error message : "The Midlet suite Helpdiabetes can't be installed because it has no permission to use javax.microedition.io.connector.file.read"

The HelpDiabetes application is not signed. This means some devices will not allow the application to use a potentially dangerous function which is to read a file from the memory. This functionality is needed in order to load your own food tables.

Phones on which this problem is reported : HTC TyTn II, LG

The solution is to use the limited version which doesn't offer the functionality to load your own food tables, however for this there is an alternative.

Download and install the limited version as described here :

The limited version contains en English foodtable but you can replace it with any other table listed here using the method described in frequently asked question 2.

 

2. Can I load my own food table if my phone does not support JSR75 ?

Yes you can. Download the limited version :

http://users.skynet.be/GTbiker/HDBEN/English2/HelpDiabetes.jar to your PC. The limited version contains en English foodtable but you can replace it with any other table listed here in the following way : 

Rename HelpDiabetes.jar to HelpDiabetes.zip.

Open HelpDiabetes.zip using winrar or winzip. You can see in the package a directory called "foodfile". In this directory you see the file named "foodfile.csv". This file contains the food table and should be replaced by your own version. Your own version can be obtained first by opening any of the excel tables listed here , editing it if you wish, and pressing ctrl-h. Your own food table is now in c:\temp\foodfile.csv and should be put into the zip file replacing the original file. Then rename HelpDiabetes.zip back to HelpDiabetes.jar and install this application on your device.

3. I don't know why but to type "l" you have to strike 3 time the key number 5. I am getting always j or k and never "l" ..strange...

You need to decrease the setting 'Speed of Search'. You can do this in the application via 'Options' - 'Settings'. The minimum value is 0. The maximum value is 5000. An initial value is calculated during installation. Try to find the best value. The lower the value, the slower the searching, but the less risk of experiencing this problem. The higher the value, the faster the searching, but then you might experience the problem. It all depends on the capacity of your phone.

4. when I open the Excel fooddatabase and I click on the first line where it says "Click here to prepare the sheet for transfer to GSM" I receive an error: Run-time error '1004'. Method 'Save as' of object '_Workbook' failed.

You need to create directory c:\temp on your PC en try again. The excel macro first saves the workbook and then saves the foodtable as a csv file in c:\temp. If this subdirectory does not exist on you c-drive then you get this error message.
