DAFNE Online

Thank you for visiting dafneonline.co.uk. We are an online community of DAFNE Graduates, people with T1 Diabetes and friends and family of those with Type 1 diabetes.

What is DAFNE? - Most people with Type 1 diabetes inject their insulin multiple times a day. They try to adjust their doses according to their blood glucose level and their lifestyle. The DAFNE training programme is designed to make it possible for you to have greater choice with food. DAFNE will enable you to eat largely as you want, while still keeping your blood glucose levels under control. As well as providing you with the skills necessary to estimate the amount of carbohydrate in each meal and inject the right dose of insulin, DAFNE also covers strategies for managing your dosage when exercising, during illness and when eating out or drinking alcohol.

This site was developed and is maintained by a team of DAFNE graduates. Central DAFNE and Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust don't manage DafneOnline. The DAFNE resources available on the site are supplied to dafneonline.co.uk by the central DAFNE team. They are updated as soon as possible when they are provided to us, to ensure graduates are viewing the most up to date versions. The site can also be used for carb counting information and recording of Blood Sugars by anyone who wants to use it. We also provide mobile device apps to do this.
This site contains NO online training, it is not an online course. The Remote Courses for DAFNE can only be accessed via the link sent to you by your Educator, who will also have sent you an Enrollment Key to gain access to the Course.
