ring the diabetes team and at least speak to one of them on the phone. By those courses, do you mean DAFNE/DESMOND? DAFNE is one week long, so if your work won't give you time off work, you could book it as holiday.Teresa M 76 said:I havent really spoken much to the diabetes team about it to be honest. Im supposed to see them every 4 months, but am still waiting for an appointment to arrive!! I did look into those courses that someone mentioned, but they are run during the week and time off work every week like that just isnt possible.
I know how to do the actual carb counting of the food, got books about it and have attempted it before. but i have no idea how much insulin to take per carb and when i have tried i end up having hypos and then i feel awful. and then if im honest i keep my BG high to avoid hypos! and tend to take a big amount of insulin when it gets high to lower it... i know this is totally against what i should be doing, but trying to be honest here. but i am fed up of feeling ill and tired and i need to do something about it.

Sometimes I could just sit and cry about it all, i know that doesnt change anything though. I havent really spoken much to the diabetes team about it to be honest.
