[QUOTE="LittleSue, post: 207129, member: 6295"] Hi Kelp I think DAFNE will help you a lot. I used to be told not to correct high readings ("you can't change what's already happened") and only to change the dose if a pattern of highs persisted for 3 days. In my case there was never a pattern anyway, very frustrating. Conversley, DAFNE teaches you to correct high readings pretty accurately yet you can still track where your bs would've been if you hadn't corrected and use that to calculate your dose adjustment. The damage of being high is limited by bringing it down promptly, rather than suffering days of highs before making changes. I was doubtful about DAFNE in case it tipped my random readings into complete meltdown - but I gave it a try and got far more freedom, better control than ever before and a huge improvement in quality of life. Better control eating what/when I liked on DAFNE than when I'd been boringly rigid about everything. It made hypos much milder. It also showed up things that hadn't been visible before, that I had a lot of variation in my insulin needs and am very sensitive to small dose changes (hence my imminent switch to a pump). Go for it! [/QUOTE]
