Topic: General Discussion / DAFNEplus Survey

As you may or may not know the next version of DAFNE called DAFNEplus is currently in the research stage. This means a new version of the course will be developed and then 'tested' to see if it gives better results than the current version. Part of this 'research' is a survey that we have been asked to promote on DAFNEOnline. To quote them

The survey opened last week and will close at the end of October 2017. It's open to 18-75 year olds with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Our aim is to assess various diabetes specific quality of life measures. There are more details here on the webpage ( http://www.yoursay.org.au/ ) and also in our blog post - https://dafneplusresearch.wordpress.com/2017/09/05/dafneplus-have-your-say-on-quality-of-life/

So please do go and fill it in and it may influence DAFNE Courses in the future........

The date for this being available is from November 1st and there are still a lot of processes to be put in place before anyone can get them on prescription.

Lots of good information here:

The one that asked about what snack wouldn't raise sugar levels... "carb free" wasn't an option at all.

I chose the 20 calories option, for some reason I have it in my head that it said 20 calories or less lol but I don't think it was for T2's.

Hi,
If you tell us which DAFNE Centre ( or hospital) you did the course at we can get you checked as having done the course. Not our rules ! The people who run DAFNE insist that only people who have done the course can access the handbook online. It usually only takes a few days once we know which centre you did the course at.

I suspect that you need to be defined as a graduate on this site and then you will be able to see a link to the DAFNE Course Handbook. marke is probably the best person to talk to if you want to send him a message.

Topic: Carbohydrate Counting / CP free lunch

I find that I need to bolus for protein too when I have a low-carb meal. For me, my ratio is to treat the amount of protein the same as I would for carbs, so for 50g of protein, I'd take the same QA as for 50g of carbs. I was a bit surprised by that as I thought I would need less for protein. Your mileage may vary :-)

I use Libre (and BG testing when I'm driving), and it's incredibly helpful in helping me adjust my BI. I can't help wondering how many people are using it who've never done a DAFNE (or similar) course, and have no idea what to do with all the data Libre generates?

I would be interested to see those statistics too.....

For most people I its the convenience of it......

Good for parents to scan when their child is sleeping, thats another plus point...

Topic: General Discussion / Anxiety / Stress and Dose Adjustment

Stuff like this is why we're protected by the disability act. You are well within your rights to ask for reasonable adjustments so you no longer suffer high sugar levels related to stressful situations at work. Prevention of the stress in the first place is better than high sugar level chasing in the long term. Best wishes.
