[QUOTE="Heathenlass, post: 728399, member: 84861"] I agree, they would be, if they are on basal/ bolus. But with mixed insulin they are generally told when to eat ( to tie in with the insulin peaks ) and what to eat in terms of carbohydrate grams. This is a training ground of sorts, as it does introduce you to the concept of carb counting and injecting regularly. Yes, that is restrictive but it is simplified for at least the beginning. And not compatible with DAFNE . I think that also the emotional impact of diagnosis is taken in to consideration in delaying a place on an education course. For many it is overwhelming , and increases the chances of no shows ( and financial wastage) through denial and fear . Also the places are available for over 18's only on DAFNE , which automatically excludes children, teenagers and also their parents. The situation may be different in local run courses ( and I wish there were more of these :( ) I'm not saying all of this is ideal, you understand, ;) I'm playing the Devils advocate in a way, from the perspective of someone who was diagnosed long before DAFNE was even thought about, and like many other people survived the process of self education by trial and error pretty much unscathed ( to my amazement ! ) :eek::D Signy [/QUOTE]
