[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 984412, member: 30007"] Welcome to the weird world of DAFNE, where carbs are only carbs if they look like carbs (although not counting a Grapefruit is criminal). If you eat a diet where you major on rubbish carbs, which make up more than 80% of the overall amount of your food, then the impact of protein and veg is much lower, so can mostly be be ignored (look in one of the pump calculation posts where the Polish method that allocates Normal and Square bolusing dependent on Carb/Protein/Fat ratios can be found). If you have elected to eat a lower carb diet, this isn't true and the DAFNE course doesn't take it into account. If I was you, I would make a fuss about it in today's session and show off your readings with Grapefruit, being very clear you think their approach is totally wrong and backing it up with evidence! BTW, I've not done DAFNE. 1. Five days is a waste of my time and NHS money; 2. This kind of thing will result in huge fights with the "Educators". [/QUOTE]
