Hi all! I'm starting the dafne course next mon. Can anyone give me a heads up of what to expect? Will interaction be expected? I have social anxiety so want to be prepared. I also desperately want to start lchf and am wondering will any information be provided on this? It seems somewhat confusing to me :-/ thanks all. X
 
Hi Samantha
there will be around 6-8 of you on the course and i would be expecting you to be testing blood , eating , and all the readings being logged on a chart for all to see.
i would expect you would be interacting but only as much as you are comfortable.

there is a lot of info on the course -- my DAFNE course was long before LCHF became as popular as it is now -- it will partly depend on how enlightened the nurse and dietician running the course are.

you will be fine:) -- just enjoy yourself cuz remember it is to help keep you on the right track you are doing it.

Thank you @himtoo that's great to have a bit of insight. Do you think 7days worth of charting my intake/bm's/insulin etc would be sufficient?

misunderstanding -- i meant that you will be doing "live" readings and calculating and injecting in class and those results will go on the chart:)

Hi. It's very unlikely that LCHF will be mentioned and sadly it may even suggest you have lots of carbs. Be prepared for some of the info to be useful and other info to go over your head.
