Hi NobleheadAre you sure its the DAFNE course @Cumberland? Thought this was just for people with type 1 diabetes.
Can you seriously see me as teachers pet lolThe DAFNE course has been mentioned to me too, if my HbA1c levels don't improve my consultant said carb counting and basal/bolus insulin might be a suitable alternative. Good luck and don't be teacher's pet @Cumberland lmao
Thank you Eddie Lad@Cumberland there is an online carb counting course that AccuCheck do. I found it when registering my Accucheck Mobile meter. There are other online carb counting courses too that other members could recommend, maybe @noblehead could give you pointers.
Just go to accucheck.com and register your membership and meter, the meter serial no is on the back of the mobile, you can order free spares as well.Thank you Eddie Lad
I got an AccuCheck mobile meter will google this
Hi CumberlandHi Noblehead
Yes it's the DAFNE course over 5 days
My diabetic team at hospital recommended it because I am in my ideal weight (not overweight or obese) they think I am insulin resistant to a certain degree, currently I inject 2 X Humulin @ 140 units at 10am and 10pm plus Novorapid with meals which varies depending on what I eat
Just begun carb counting
They think I will benefit even though I am type 2
Thank you so much for your inputHi Cumberland
I can't answer from a type 2 view, but the basis of the course is dose adjustment for normal eating, so you have mentioned you are on fixed dose and then insulin with meals which sounds an ideal fit. It may have a result for you, but not sure if you already adjusting, it may help determine the correct levels of insulin you should take. I've done the course, it is much more than carb counting, it is looking for patterns in bg Vs time of day, exercise, carb portions, sick days, travel, etc and then adjusting by small corrections (of insulin in my experience) till you find what is correct for you. I hope you get something useful from it.
Not been on it @Cumberland . I'll let you fill me in in march. if your good enough to share the knowledge. Please.Going on a 5 day DAFNE course on 7th March and wondered if any type 2 on insulin has been on this course and how did you find it?
Of course I will post a day by day diary on this threadNot been on it @Cumberland . I'll let you fill me in in march. if your good enough to share the knowledge. Please.
Going on a 5 day DAFNE course in May. inclusive of meals, should be very educational.
Thanks Type1Lad will let you know how it goesit's a very educational course, if your going to be carb counting everything
