Hi all, I've been a Diabetic for 20 odd years at this stage and completed the DAFNE course a year ago. best thing ever.
However, I work as an archaeologist and the huge array of variables that come with day-to-day work on a site especially as regards physical activity, it's unpredicability etc and the havoc it can reep in your hourly, never mind daily, BG levels is to say the least annoying.
I have also yet to meet another diabetic muck-shoveller and would be really interested to know if there are others in the same field and how things are working out for them

Hi Jenny,
I know of one other female diabetic archeaologist who posts on another diabetes forum I use. Don't think she is DAFNE trained so probably not on here tho.

Hey there..........
NiVZ is correct, on the forum www.diabetessupport.co.uk there is a female archeologist who goes by the name of SilentAssasin1642.
She is actually on a pump, but everyone on a pump needs to be trained to the same principals and standards as dafne, if not better.
I reccomend signing up over there and giving her a PM, you might find the answers your looking for.
Good luck...........
