DAFNE Get those carbs down ya !

The DAFNE training programme is designed to make it possible for you to have a much greater choice with food. DAFNE will enable you to eat largely as you want, while still keeping your blood glucose levels under control. DAFNE provides you with the skills necessary to estimate the amount of carbohydrate in each meal and to inject the right dose of insulin.

This is primarily a social event to give people the opportunity to catch up with other DAFNE grads and informally swap information. The renewal of contact with the graduates also serves as a reminder that the diabetes team are available as a resource should people wish to make appointments. A 'party bag' is given out which contains various bits and pieces on DAFNE, diabetes and a carbohydrate counting theme.

Here is a picture from last year's event:

What's the message here ? Shovel anything you like down your neck and cover it with insulin.

It is easy to see why over 75% of type one diabetics never ever get close to a safe HbA1c. NHS stats. confirm this is a fact !

You can be a Bernstein follower and still benefit from DAFNE as I did. It is used to help Type1's use insulin according to the amount of carbs they eat.
The Birthday cake does not have to be eaten by anybody, it is a personal choice.

Iv'e no problem with concept of educating T1s in carb counting, but the picture of the cakes gives the wrong impression...
