Just thought I'd put a message on here, graduated end of last year but didn't get round to logging in! DAFNE has completely changed my life being diabetic for 20 years and never really had great control. Not going to lie I still have good and bad days but overall my control is so much better!! Cheers then.

Welcome Smile
I'm sure that others can benefit from a share of your 20 years experience.

I hope to get involved quite a bit, before dafne I don't think I'd ever spoken to another diabetic!

Hi Jenkatron

Look for a support group in your area. I've been diabetic for 32 years (but I'm still young!) and like you don't know many other diabetics. My Dafne course changed that and I've met a great bunch of people and we're hoping to set up a support group, run by volunteers, in our area so that we do have someone else to speak to; bounce ideas off and perhaps get together to do a bit of awareness raising; campaigning etc. Look for something in your area - Diabetes UK website lists local support groups so hoepfully there is one where you live. And you can always chat on here - everyone seems friendly enough Smile)
