[QUOTE="endocrinegremlin, post: 905705, member: 196900"] Pretty much got bullied onto DAFNE when I did not want to go. My HBA1C was perfect and I already knew how to carb count as I was lucky enough to be taught that upon diagnosis in 1997 but they would not leave me alone over it. I knew most of it and spent the time feeling guilty that someone who really needed it wasn't in my place and bemoaning the prices of the bus to get there. I fell out with them when they insisted a baked potato was 70g of carbs at 200g unlike the 35g it is if boiled. Every time I did their 70g ratio I went hypo so they accused me of overeating! Now I take tell my pump 35g for my baked tattie and we get along just fine that way. I am now a master ninja at avoiding the nurse and dietitian that ran the course when at clinic. I don't really like dietitians after upon diagnosis I was told I couldn't eat strawberry yogurts. My mum, a D of 22 years at that point said that was nonsense, fed my my evening yogurt as normal and my bloods were happy as could be. I did the standard 2 day thing for my pump when I got that but other than that no. I would turn up at clinic to be told 'we've decided we're talking ****, do this now' for most of my 17 D years. I have not even heard of anything on that list other than DAFNE. Courses are fantastic of course but my diabetes just never seems to fit the rule book. I baffle every professional that stumbles upon me but they insist on trying to get me to fit a box XD [/QUOTE]
