I don't think they have one! I finished DAFNE on Friday and I think because their GI is so low, you'd hypo if you injected for them. |

Thanks to both Anita and Clare. It's 2 years since I did DAFNE, and they don't appear in my carb counter. I was a bit concerned, as I like them and tend to eat a lot when they're in season!! Sylvia. |

Hi Sylvia, I find the supermarket websites really helpful for fresh food carb values as they give the nutritional values for nearly everything they sell. Sainsburys is especially good as you don't need to register your details before you can view the products. Hope that helps |

I have just finished my 2nd Dafne course and can confirm that you don't inject for them - although I guess if you eat a whole punnet you might want to reconsider that. |

I finished Dafne last week and was told that grapefruit and cherries are the only fruit which you dont count! It was news to me but i like it! |

Hi thanks for this i have been doing the DAFNE thing for over a year now and really happy with the way things are going until this week had a bowl of cherries for dinner did not find the carb on the DAFNE list, so looked on line injected as the advice from the carb counter i found on line (for 2.5 CP as the weight was a fair amount). BG fine when went to bed then 2 hours later had horrible hypo should have looked here first. i shall look as this advice page from now on first thank you |

I think it's useful to remember that the DAFNE 'rules' about whether you inject for certain foods might not suit everyone. for me, eating cherries I'd inject, and if you buy a punnet from the supermarket it will probably have the nutritional info on the back of the label - look underneath the lid for it. |
