[QUOTE="glenmoray, post: 362639, member: 45378"] [b]Re: Have you done the DAFNE/DESMOND courses or anything simi[/b] The DAFNE course is one of the best courses out. I too have been a Type 1 diabetic since 1977. I moved house in the 80s and was made to go to the doctors diabetic clinic instead of a hospital clinic. For the last 22 years I have received substandard care. Last October I developed a foot infection and was referred by the doctors diabetic clinic to the diabetic foot clinic. I met the diabetic consultant there and when I told him about the lack of care I was getting he immediately referred me to his clinic. Since then I've attended the DAFNE course and lost nearly 3 stone in weight. I also found out that my doctors have been overdosing me by 90 units a day on nova rapid. Because of this I was eating more and gaining weight. Anyone who has not yet attended yet the DAFNE course sign up to one.
