Well I went on the D.A.F.N.E course last week and it was superb. Met really nice people, shared lots of experiences, got background levels and ratios sorted, finely tuned my carb counting, better understand correction doses, know what to do on those nasty sick days and realised I have been overtreating hypos. Also identified the little things Id let slip over the last 8 months - the list goes on of what I have learned in just 5 days. And the main thing is I can see the difference in my levels already.

All thanks to everything I learned on last weeks course. I cant say enough how valuable last week was - if anyone gets the chance to do this course - please take it. Its quite intense and tiring but well worth it. And Ive recommended this site to my new Type 1 buddies - so a few more Weegies (Glasgwegians) may be lurking on here soon.

All in all a great experience and I look forward to the follow up in April where hopefully our Hba1cs will be well on target. I am a happy D.A.F.N.E graduate (and have the certificate to prove it) :D
 
Fantastic results, so pleased you have learnt so much and are putting it into practice 🙂
 
Excellent melissa! Really pleased to hear you have got so much out of the course! 🙂 And thanks for spreading the word also! Hope you can make it to the Glasgow Meet this year on June 8th 🙂
 
Well done! I'll use your experience to nag my consultant to let me do this course! It proves that it can help reduce your levels and improves your knowledge - something he doesn't appear to appreciate!! 🙄
