Hello

Hi Im Daniel and in new to this forum,Im From Australia and im Glad that i found Dafne online,in the near distance future if time allows,im going to try and attend a Dafne cousre,if not i would like to learn as much as i can from this forum coz i heard great things about Dafne.
Ive had D for 10 months now and need to learn more about carb counting and insulin ratios etc etc,so any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanx.

Cheers.

Hi Daniel, and welcome to the forum...............

If you have any specific questions then fire away, dont think anyone who uses the forum could go through the whole curriculum though.........

There is a free online carb counting course offered by Bournemouth Diabetes and Endocrine Center HERE..........that can get you up to speed with the main points, and then if you want you can come back and ask some more specific questions about your control you can..........

Being only 10 months diagnosed your pancreas may still be producing some insulin, so keep that in mind, you may only need small doses...........


What insulin regime are you on and what are your doses.................

G'day Daniel,

I'm from Australia also. Welcome to this forum.

I believe your priority ought to be to find a Dafne course. It is worth making the time. The carb counting etc is most useful in the context of Dafne,

Once I did Dafne things began to fall into place.

Thanx novorapid,
no i dont expect to learn the whole curriculum on this forum ive beind doing pretty good so far ive got my Hb1c down from 11.8 % to 8.6 % in that short time,i would like to learn some tips from people who have completed a Dafne course,
im carb counting at the moment and doing pretty well,sometimes i miss calculate,but im getting used to it,i use Novo rapid and Levemir.

G'day helen
I know i should make it my priority its just been hard at the moment being self employed,ill try harder,
nice supprise meeting a fellow Aussie.

thats good your into the swing of things already.........i dont know if as a member, you can use the blood glucose dairy on here, try and see if you can through the DAFNE Tools tab at the top, you can then input some results if you want to ask questions on them...........

How are you with recording your blood glucose, and can you change doses comfortably.......?

Im very strict at recording my results i have everything on my pc,i have a program called co pilot,as for adjusting my doses im getting better its just hard when eating out.

Hey Daniel and welcome.
I'm sure you will find DAFNE absolutely wonderful - I know I have.
As for you coming from Australia I'll be in touch as I am making plans to move / emigrate there in the next year or so.
