[QUOTE="Rumpo, post: 222128, member: 37948"] I have not been offered DAFNE but I have been offered to go on a BIANCA course, where they teach you various stuff, they wanted me to wait a while till I get used to having Diabetes before they teach me to "Carb Count". I think I need this "Carb Count" because like I was saying a lot of family members assume I cannot have Carb's or sugar at all, but I used to excersise a lot when I was younger and the body needs energy to run. Also a quick question, why do the doctors act like they are giving you a death sentence, the diabetic nurses act like its serious but not death and then others who have been diagnosed for a few years act like its nothing at all. I do not know how to feel. One of my fathers friends is Type 2 and says as long as you keep pumping yourself full of insulin you can eat as much as you can. But basing on the fact his health has seriously deteriorated over the past couple of years, that is not advice I would like to follow. One of my customers at work has Type 1, we even have the same diabetic nurse, I have tried to speak more to him about it, but because he has been diagnosed for 25 years he just gets on and doesn't see it as a big deal for my self, so he doesn't offer much advice apart from when I did a sugar test at work and he saw it was at 25.6 he yelled a bit at me. My diabetic nurse has said she is not giving me all the information straight away because it is a big adjustment but surely it would be more beneficial for me too know everything so I am not confused to change things in the future?
