These are some DAFNE abbreviations that drive me mad. I've never been on a DAFNE course but I learnt these terms from others on this forum:
BI =background/basal insulin
QA =quick acting insulin
CP =carbohydrate portion (10g carbs)
Some other non-DAFNE terms that I know are:
hypo= hypoglycemia
bg = blood glucose
bgl blood glucose level
bs = blood sugar
bsl = blood sugar level
and the one that has been annoying me since I was diagnosed until I looked it up last week:
BM - basically used instead of the term bg for example his BM before bed last night was 5.4mmol/l or make sure you check your BM before lunch today
This is great!!!! Thankyou very much
BM stands for Boehringer Mannheim, now called Roche, who produced test strips called 'BM-test'
