[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 471029, member: 21149"] Hi Hale10. I would dispute that DAFNE is there to 'facilitate normal eating'; Diabetics shouldn't/can't have a normal diet hence the trainers should not be encouraging anyone on the course to have a 'normal diet'. Anyone on DAFNE has T1, a serious condition, and whilst we all know you can pump insulin to match high carb input it is likely to cause weight gain and possible added insulin resistance. It will also cause larger blood sugar swings possibly into Hypos. Yes, a low carb diet isn't normal for most of the nation but most of the nation aren't T1s on a quite specific DAFNE course. Smidge's post implies that on at least his course the trainers were not doing the job they should have been. The fact that some of the more ignorant left more knowledgeable is no excuse for trainers who could have done their job a lot better. [/QUOTE]
