I have been doing it the dafne way for years !!! And yes the dafne way is so different to the way I used to do it,before dafne my reading were off the scale so high my monitor couldn’t read them which is why I was put on the dafne course in the first place !!! |

Hi Weendyx1961, I read a book recently by Dr Emma Mardlin who has had Type 1 Diabetes since a child. one thing she says in the book which I found to be very profound and true is "You know your body & your diabetes better than anyone" which includes doctors, nurses and specialists. |
