[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 337136, member: 11028"] It's a difficult one to answer Benny TBH without knowing what you already know. DAFNE teaches many things, for example carb counting and dose adjustments, correction doses, basal testing and adjustments, effects of exercise, stress and illness on diabetes control and how to adjust insulin accordingly, the long-term effects of diabetes on the body plus many many more.... The greatest thing for me taking part on the DAFNE course was meeting other type 1's and sitting in the same room sharing experiences and discussing our day to day control, it was great to see people on the Monday struggling with hypo's and postprandial high's and by the end of the week both have vastly improved, the Q & A session with the consultant, DSN and Dietitian is a great opportunity to ask any niggly questions you may have about diabetes. Overall I'd encourage anyone to go the course and give it a go, often we mistakenly think we know all the answers but sadly we do not, diabetes is a learning curve and we never stop learning no matter how long we have lived with the condition.
