Message: <blockquote data-quote="Japes" data-source="post: 2276436" data-attributes="member: 277410">I did DAFNE at the end of last year and I've given it all a good go, but have come to the firm conclusion "normal" eating, as in three meals a day based on the Eatwell kind of plate, and me just don't go together and what's more, never did. I'd found a balance that had worked well before and worked out which carbs/proteins affected me. The massive debate over eggs was fabulous! (All of us were adamant eggs needed to be bolused for, we kept being told "No, they don't" we all went home and proved it!!)The most useful thing for me most definitely was meeting up with others and we have remained in touch - especially through this strange period of time when it hasn't been so easy to get in touch with our medical teams. It's also given me more confidence with adjusting ratios for fast-acting (which definitely has different ones for different times of day along with different ones for active/inactive, working/not working days) as needed. I'd already got the idea of getting my basal right and had been adjusting that as needed but again it gave me a bit more confidence to adjust as need be.It certainly hasn't had any impact on improving my Hba1c, I'm still struggling with random overnight unexplained highs, and my own spreadsheet records show that. Others in my group, however, had a great experience of it, it's worked brilliantly for them, and they have massively improved Hba1cs. (We've all had at least 2 since doing DAFNE.)</blockquote>
