Hello all
I have been type 1 diabetic for 35 years now, I recently took advantage of the DAFNE course and have realised to start looking after myself better, for many years I have tried to live like a normal person, guess what it didn't happen so I put on weight and started to feel lousy, boring, lazy and just about anything that I could do to make myself feel rubbish. So I went on the course for 5 days and turned my life around I feel healthier, more active and even lost a few kilos, but best of all my blood sugars are stabilizing, I'm 49 now I was diagnosed at 12, I have 2 healthy sons aged 16 and 21, I am divorced and am really starting to love life again, now I realised why I was so miserable, I will never take advantage of my body again, thank you for reading this, will love to hear from fellow diabetics who have been through the same as me and how you have improved things
 
Hi @trixie66 Welcome to the forum, where you will obtain good replies, feedback and more importantly comfort that whatever you may ask, others have faced the same.

Sounds like you are taking control and reaping the benefits of doing the course.
