Topic: General Discussion / Research into diabetes education and health anxiety
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. |

Topic: General Discussion / Research into diabetes education and health anxiety The one that asked about what snack wouldn't raise sugar levels... "carb free" wasn't an option at all. |

Topic: General Discussion / Graduation I attended the course at the Royal DEVON and Exeter Hospital. I am no longer monitored there now as was mistakenly discharged back to gp care but one of the nurse practitioners was one of the diabetic nurses so it works well I did the course between 8 and 11 years ago I think |

Topic: General Discussion / Graduation 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. |

Topic: General Discussion / Graduation 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 :-) |

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. |

Topic: General Discussion / Research into diabetes education and health anxiety I've completed this, but it seems more for people with type 2 diabetes which you won't find here. At least one of your questions has no right answers for a person with type 1 diabetes. :S |

Topic: General Discussion / Research into diabetes education and health anxiety Hi everyone,I am a MSc Psychology student at Liverpool Hope University and I am currently carrying out research regarding health anxiety amongst individuals with diabetes. The research involves an online questionnaire which is completely anonymous and shouldn't take long. You don't have to have anxiety regarding your diabetes to participate. If you have been diagnosed with diabetes and would like to take part please click on this link https://lhubos.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/levels-of-health-anxiety-amongst-individuals-with-diabetes Thank you!! |

Topic: General Discussion / Libre 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? |

Topic: General Discussion / Anxiety / Stress and Dose Adjustment Stress can cause BG to rise - I experience this myself. However I personally find it requires less insulin to get BG down again than if the rise was caused by carbs. e.g. to get down from 12 to 5-6mmol/l, I would need just 1 or 2 extra units of QA. |

Topic: General Discussion / Exercise In my early days when playing basketball at age 30 - 40 I had usual insulin and more carbos. It was the following day that I found I needed less insulin (Basketball was played at night) Now I'm 70 I find I need less insulin on the day of exercise (riding a bike, mowing lawns, gardening, washing car) plus extra carbos. I found the fitter I was the less insulin I needed but now days exercise seems to drop my sugars more immediately. But remember, we are all different and you need to work out your own requirements. |

Topic: Questions for HCPs / How much should BG rise or fall after a carbohydrate free meal? I've found the suggested variation (< 1.5) over a series of carb-free maeals so don't think I need a reply- unless a health professional thinks I've got it wrong
