[QUOTE="SamJB, post: 471002, member: 45322"] Very interesting and worry post, Smidge. I guess there's two ways of looking at DAFNE. [LIST=1] [*]It improves the control of the people in the group who are badly controlled. [*]It doesn't bring people's HbA1c into the range where their risk of complications is at unity with the non-diabetic population. [/LIST] The misinformation in there is staggering and it's a disgrace that such rubbish is taught to people (basal test for non-carb meals, don't count carbs in veg etc). I wholeheartedly agree that education is the route to a good HbA1c, but the DAFNE course is not up to scratch; it doesn't bring peoples' HbA1c below 6.5% and gives out misinformation. It doesn't deliver efficacy and if it doesn't deliver efficacy then it's not good enough. We should definitely have a DAFNE-like course, but the content needs to be drastically improved. Edit: improved formatting. [/QUOTE]
