[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 986706, member: 30007"] This all raises interesting questions though. I was brought up on Exchanges, countdown, etc. That was all about carb counting. I know DAFNE shows evidence of sustained improvement after 6 and 12 months, but there is no evidence after 24. I've carb counted all my life, and in spite of not having DAFNE, when moved to MDI was given basics in ratios (and we are talking somewhere around 1991). This is what I've done all my life. What I don't really see is what is different about DAFNE-like courses? CPs are equivalent to exchanges, and fundamentally it's all about carb counting. The NDA figures would suggest that there hasn't been significant change in the way most people manage their diabetes. Is a 10% improvement on a 72 going to make any difference to complications?
