Topic: General Discussion / Campaigning Against Hospitals Dropping DAFNE

This is just so sad and disappointing. Dafne was the first diabetes education I had in 22 years of being Type I. It is also the first time in 22 years that I have been shown any respect and compassion from medical professionals in treating my diabetes. After Dafne I changed from my local hospital to the Dafne clinic. I have to drive an hour to get to appointments - I don't care because I know I will be met with understanding, joint problem solving, accurate information and a compassionate attitude. Previously, I actually found it emotionally and psychologically traumatic to attend the diabetic clinic. I was chastised, criticised and treated like a four year old. It is not just diabetics that need education, but also the professionals who are dealing with them on a daily basis. A little basic psychology about how human beings respond to managing a long-term health condition would go a long way in clinics. Funding will always be an issue - this is something worth fighting for.

Topic: DAFNE Online Mobile / Data input

Hello,

Firstly, at the top of the settings tab, is an " Online Credentials " tab. If you fill in your login details, then you have to tick " Diary Upload ", for it to upload to the online site, which should be just underneath the " Online Credentials ". It will do it every time you have a data / Wi - Fi connection, and have inputed a new entry

Hope that helps

Amy

Topic: Carbohydrate Counting / Zero or Diet?

Caffeine amount I think at a guess.

Edit: After a Google search, the difference is how they're sweetened.

Topic: General Discussion / Would you like to be involved in research?

Researchers at the University of Sheffield have designed a questionnaire to find out how much self-management impacts on people living with diabetes. They are testing their questionnaire at the moment, and are looking for volunteers to complete their online survey. Anyone can complete the survey, as long as you live in the UK and are over 18 years old. Click here to access the survey. https://healthsurvey.shef.ac.uk/hasmid

The project is funded by The Health Foundation, and has full ethics approval. Participants who complete the online questionnaire can choose to enter a prize draw to win a Â£50 shopping voucher. They have prizes for every 50 completed questionnaires.

Topic: Questions for HCPs / Statin effect on blood sugars

Put on Atorvastatin on diagnosis as T1, can't say it has any noticeable effect. But when BP meds were changed I thought there was a bit of increase in BGs, but all settled down after a while.

There could be other reasons - check injection sites as if lumpy can cause erratic BGs, are your BI/QA ratios etc correct? Other things can also affect BGs - stress, activity, mood, weather maybe.

Hope this helps.
