Topic: General Discussion / Top tips that people have learnt from their diabetes education course

Hi Catarina
I read your forum reply and felt that I had been in your situation on many occasions. I sought assistance by going to my local doctor or endocrinologist for advice, seeking out dieticians that are experts in
pre diabetes and getting a sickness letter from my doctor for making your exams and lectures less of a burden for you. I found there are really good people out there to assist for those with diabetes. Please keep in contact with the forum as I am sure there are many to assist you in this difficult time.

Topic: General Discussion / Dismal Hba1c levels

I keep reading recently abysmal statistics for Type1 diabetics maintaining healthy long term HbA1c., that is only 8%. These statistics are repeated throughout the world in both the United States and Australia. I would love to know how DAFNE users feel and is it just too difficult even with dose adjusting to maintain consistent hba1c over a number of years. Are DAFNE users reflected in the 8% and if not who are they and how do they achieve these levels? The article is below:
Of the 3.8 million people who are currently living with diabetes in the UK, approximately 300,000 people are diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM). As the molecular taxonomy for diabetes remains incomplete, current guidelines can only provide generic solutions as the factors that affect blood glucose are not fully understood. As a result, only 8% of this population achieve HbA1c targets with current diabetes management tools and devices.

"Everyone is different and so are times of day" -that's the key. Don't do this on your own! Talk to your diabetic nurse and monitor, adjust very gradually.
