[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1492320, member: 32394"] Yes, DAFNE is a week long course so it will run Monday to Friday 9-5, although in reality it's more likely to be something like 10-3 or 4. Some DAFNE course run 1 day a week for 5 weeks as a alternative for those who can't make a full time course for a week. If you're not working, what would cause you hassle in attending DAFNE? On my course there were a couple of self employed people who lost a weeks worth of earnings to attend, that is quite a lot of loss and I'm sure they felt it was worth it. You said in your other thread that your always high and you had DKA on numerous occasions. That does suggest that you don't understand how to use your insulin and you need to attend a course to learn how to use it. DAFNE will cover how to carb count, how to monitor blood sugar an assess results to determine what might need changing to improve them, sick day rules with type 1, and exercise with type 1, it's a good opportunity to meet other people living with type 1. There is often a waiting lists or a DAFNE course, in the meantime there is a free online carb counting course - [URL]https://www.bertieonline.org.uk[/URL] [/QUOTE]
