I’ve just completed a DAFNE course and just wanted to say wow what a fantastic course.
I’ve had type 1 diabetes for 33 years and was very sceptical about attending as I thought I knew the correct way to manage my diabetes but I can honestly say this course has been really beneficial, it has helped me to get my blood sugars within range and an improved hba1c as well.
Previously I was having highs and then lows then highs then lows, a constant vicious circle, this course helped me to understand how to treat a low blood sugar correctly and minimise having a high after, it also helped me to reduce the high but not have a low this for me was a massive eye opener and has stopped these from occurring.
The course is all about fine tuning your insulin and carbohydrate ratios and not acting too quickly as most fast acting insulin’s last for 4 hours so testing 2 hours after food as previously advised was of no benefit as that vicious circle I mentioned above will start.
The course is designed to allow you to live your life and be able to eat the foods you like so rather than allowing diabetes to control you, you can control diabetes.
This I’m sure appeals to a lot of type 1 diabetics.
The course was an interactive course that allowed me to learn from other type 1 diabetic’s experiences which was a massive improvement in any other courses I have attended.
So I’d like to say a huge thank you to PTHB for providing this course and suggest to anyone with type 1 diabetes to grab this opportunity to attend a very thorough and worthwhile course with both hands as it will improve your control drastically (Take it from someone who’s had diabetes for over 30 years)
