[QUOTE="Vanster07, post: 853892, member: 181357"] Hi Senga, My local hospital ran a dietitian's carb counting course one morning a week for about 8 weeks which sounds very much like the DAFNE course you mentioned! It was ran but one of the hospital's dietitian's and my Diabetic nurse (who is a type one herself!) and guest speakers The course was really good as It showed me how living with diabetes now is so much different to how it was when I was first diagnosed 35 years ago. It was the only way I was going to get a pump as well!!! But I would highly recommend it to any type one even if your newly diagnosed as a refresher course!! ! It was really good for getting a tighter control of your bloods as we wrote a diary for each blood score, meal, insulin amount injected and food eaten. Then we would show our results each week and the group of about 15 of us and the medics discussed changes if needed. It wasn't a DAFN course as it was ran by the NHS. Maybe your local diabetic hospital clinic does something similar. Saying that I bet you've tried but still I highly recommend it to all type one's. [/QUOTE]
