Message: <blockquote data-quote="jopar" data-source="post: 64553" data-attributes="member: 11712">Hi loreenieFirstly welocme to the forumI take it that when you say a berttie/DAFNE type course that it was a version of your hospitals own making!  As I attended the DAFNE course last year, and Yes we were told how to count carbs and cover with insulin etc, but we were never told what amount of carbs to eat per day, per meal or the need to have any with any particular meal!The only thing we were told about carbs, was that if we didn't want a meal that contained carbs, then we didn't have too they would show us how. this was the consultant who said this..  Then went on to say that his experince that once a person had completed DAFNE and realise how many carbs they were actually eating they naturally reduced there carb intake, which helped with weight lose etc...But use the knowledge and ask question here in the T1 forum, and you bound to find the answers that will help your to achieve the control that you want at the carb intake level you're happy with..</blockquote>
