[QUOTE="CarbsRok, post: 1752642, member: 14029"] As far as I understand all you need do is prove you can carb count. I never did a DAFNE course and had no intention of doing one, as I pointed out to the dietitian I had carb counted from the age 5 with the help of my lovely mum and as the years went by obviously honed my skills as more and more food choices became available. Having been on insulin now for 53 years I think I have it well and truly sussed as on my fourth pump. I remember the day well years ago when a very smug dietitian declared in great delight my carb counting skills were not up to scratch because I didn't know the carb value of pizza! Well hello I don't like pizza so why the heck would I want to know the carb value?:banghead: Silly moo would not accept I didn't like pizza and basically called me a liar. [/QUOTE]
