[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1900548"] I attended a DAFNE type course about 3 years ago. It was the first diabetes course I had attended after diagnosis - 12 years earlier. I was already carb counting but it made me look a little closer at what I was doing. It also covered things like exercise and illness. I have not done Bertie so cannot compare. The two biggest things I got out of it was spending face time with other people with type 1 diabetes and a pump 2 months later (it is a prerequisite in my area but a pump takes effort and they wanted to know you were willing to put in that effort). Like you, mine was spread over a number of weeks (I think it was 4 hours every Monday evening for 6 weeks). I think this was better than a concentrated week because you get time to try what you learn, feedback your experience and tweak it. We always had some home work in between to encourage this but it was never too much - and was sometimes something good like go for a walk and see what impact it has or drink some alcohol and see the impact - you were excused from that if you were tea total.
