The DAFNE User Action Group have just launch a DAFNE User Group newsletter and you can read the first issue here:

Newsletter Post

This will hopefully be a regular newsletter and all copies will be available on DAFNEOnline.

I'm sure many of you will have missed the pun on the great track by Elvis Costello but cest la vie !
This article is really about the DAFNE Pump study to establish if pumps offer any added benefits over multiple injections with DAFNE training. There is more information on this in the following forum post

So if you haven’t yet done a DAFNE course then follow the link !!

After many requests and the work of Keith Clarke we are pleased to announce the launch of the DAFNEOnline Android App. You can get it here .
It provides the same functionality as the iPhone app i.e the ability to sync your BG Diary with the site and the means to access the carb counting information.
A big thank you to Keith for taking up the challenge and getting the app developed and released in a short time, after it had sat in development limbo ( mainly due to me, MarkE).

After much blood, sweat and tears we have finally updated the UK handbook on the site to the current version. So all new graduates will recognise the handbook as the one they know, the rest of us can get familiar with the newest version.
The only thing missing is the quiz at the end of the handbook that will be added in the next few weeks. The correction examples in the handbook are now 'interactive' in that the answers can be 'revealed' by clicking on a link.
All our Kiwi Graduates will also be getting their own version of the handbook as soon as we can convert it to a web-format. This will hopefully not be in the too distant future !

In the spirit of positiveness that DAFNE nurtures UCLH is holding a celebration to mark 300+ graduates from the DAFNE course. We held a similar event last year when we reached 200+ graduates that was well received with good evaluation and a request for a repeat event.

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:



The event takes place on Wednesday 14th September and you can get your invitation here
