Message: <blockquote data-quote="Robynoksana" data-source="post: 1265798" data-attributes="member: 268973">Hey all,I've been referred for DAFNE and I'm due to go on 17th October. I've needed to book a week off work as annual leave to attend, which essentially means that I've used all my holidays now and for the rest of the year can't take any time off so, say I need to attend an appointment or anything I won't be able to until January.Anyway, I was diagnosed in February and have been carb counting and adjusting my own insulin since. And now, 8 months after the fact, I'm having to go on a course that (from what I've heard) is going to teach me to...carb count and adjust my own insulin. Is there anything more to it at all? Like are they going to teach me things I don't already know?I've also been told that you're expected to take your insulin in a room with the other attendees..which I can't say I'm overly comfortable with if it's true. Don't really want to be whapping my belly out in a room full of strangersAny advice would be much appreciated!xEDIT: I don't know if it's worth mentioning but I was having fortnightly appointments at the diabetes clinic from February until April, then I've sort of been left to my own devices. My consultant hasn't seen me for 6 months and I'm doing okay in the grand scheme of things, some off days but on the whole not bad.</blockquote>
