[QUOTE="alemap71, post: 245178, member: 41117"] I did the DAFNE course back in 2006. Having had T1 diabetes for nearly 35 years I have to say it completely re-educated me. I found it interesting, informative and quite eye opening. I used to carb count back in the 'good old days' but in later years was told not to bother with this method. The course taught me to inject insulin according to how many carbs I was taking in and now I do try to keep down the carbs (partly because I get sooooo bloated eating too many carbs!!) so just inject accordingly. Unfortunately as I am a 'true diabetic' (hospitals words not mine) I have to have some carbs with each main meal as I cannot 'skip' insulin if eating a non-carb meal, this usually ends up with me having ketones! My partner did attend the session on hypo's and found it very useful, however, thankfully even after all these years I still do have early hypo warning signs. The only thing I'd disagree with was a comment made by Snodger I feel quite 'normal' in a room of non-diabetics and in fact, most people who meet me would never know I'm diabetic until after quite some time. I've worked with people, who after a period of some months, find out I have diabetes and comment that they didn't kow I was. I don't hide it at all but I don't flaunt it either (sorry, please don't take offence to that Snodger :shock: I wasn't being horrible :D ) Sorry to digress but in short the DAFNE course is great and well worth doing (in my humble opinion) [/QUOTE]
