[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1460553"] I attended a DAFNE-like course and found it mostly carb counting which would seem appropriate whichever type of diabetes you have (regardless whether you use insulin). Unfortunately, the best way of knowing about diabetes is having it yourself. As a result, many of us end up doing a lot of research ourselves rather than relying on health care professionals who don't always understand what it is like. Hence, fora like this one: if the successful treatment for all was to take 3 tablets every day with no side-effects, we'd have nothing to talk about. If you want to learn about carb counting, have you looked at the on-line courses? Whilst you may not have the chance to discuss the course with others in the room, you can go at your own pace, replay bits you weren't sure about and skip the blatantly obvious and condescending bits. Someone recently mentioned a course that had just been updated. Apologies, I cannot find the reference again. Hopefully, someone else reading this will be better at searching than I. As frustrating as it may seem to have to do it all yourself, there are many people on here who have done just that with fantastic results: wanting to do it is the first step, so well done. [/QUOTE]
