Hi everyone.

I'm a type 1 and was diagnosed 7 years ago in October. I've had really bad control and my Hba1C have shown this. I went to see a diabetes specialist on carb counting a few weeks ago , as I've had problems trying to get on to DAFNE in the past (but I'm on DAFNE next week :thumbup: ) and too say I'm over the moon is an understatement. It's been hard work , but if any of you have the chance of getting an insight in to carb counting , then do it , it's worked for me , and others! I'm still working away at it , testing things that spike etc and avoiding them , but waking up in single figures really makes me happy

 
I am on DAFNE next week too - yippee, only taken me a year to get on it !!

I have been low carbing as i've struggled to keep BG into single numbers and keen to take control this was the only way without DAFNE knowledge to get them into better shape, ultimately though it's to just know more and be better at it - good luck on your course :thumbup:
 
Good luck to you both on the DAFNE course :thumbup:
 
Just done first part of my Desmonde course found it very interesting hope you both enjoy and learn something from your Dafne courses
