I found DAFNE extremely helpful... I had no concept of carb counting despite being type 1 for 11 years !!!!!!!! I now feel SO much more confident in managing my diabetes after completing DAFNE and i'm sorry you had a bad experience as mine was fantastic :)

Cup of tea does the job for me!

yep I see what your saying! I've had one serious hypo in my diabetic life, woke up with 4 paramedics round my bed, needed glucogon and IV glucose before i regained consciousness and that was bloody scary to think I have no recollection of that what so ever, so now i am super paranoid about hypos...

I had the same problems with night time elevated sugars.... Was just down to my background insulin and they sorted it out on the first day of DAFNE! Good luck with the pump! Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I'm not sure, some people say you can and some people say you can't. But if you have well controlled diabetes I can't see it being a problem. I've wanted to do it for so long and I'm graduating from Uni next year and would love another shot at it! Sent from the Diabetes Forum App
