Hi i am a newly diagnosed Diabetic T1 and not really in control of my blood sugars at the moment. I have read about the DAFNE course and i am impressed with the reviews ive seen. I live in Birmingham and it seems i can't go on the DAFNE course as there is not a course available in Birmingham. I would be happy to travel to another city if it meant i could partake in the course but it seems this is also not an option.
Does anyone know a way i can get round this or an alternative course that they can recomend?
I understand the impact carbs have on my blood sugar but getting a balance overall seems an imposible task and i feel there is not enough support or structure in place to educate diabetics on food and insulin. I am on the Bolus basal regime which is supposed to give me the freedom to eat when/what i like but how am i supposed to know how much to take without the right training.
I might just be blabbing on here but i want to get in control instead of just feeding the insulin.
