If you go here you will find an on-line course provided by Bournemouth Diabetes and Endocrine Centre, this is the closest thing to DAFNE you will find, but still not exactly DAFNE, which is what you would need to know to come and discuss it here and get the answers you deserve with your blood results........

Just from looking at your results it seems you are waking up on the low side a few times, so my first question would be.................is your background insulin right, it may be too much overnight, resulting in lows, but it could be a multitude of other things..............

What insulin are you on...............

Also try the diabetes support website here, here you will find other diabetics, both type 1 and 2 with lots of advice and stories to help you on your battle to conquer the diabetes..............

Hi,
Firstly may i say thank you for your reply. It's the first time i've ever entered into the forums on here hence why i probably only entered my diary results and no other details ie which insulin i'm on. I'm on Humalog (QA) ~ 5 -6u at breakfast, 10u at lunch, 12-14u at dinner then Lantus (BI) 34u at bedtime. Thank you so much for the links to www.bdec-e-learning.com & www.diabetessupport.co.uk both of which i will certainly be using alongside DAFNE.

Topic: Questions for HCPs / BG Results

Hi,
Been to see my Diabetic Specialist Nurse today she mentioned to me about the book carbs & cals which i've just ordered. Just wondered what anybody elese on here thinks about my results. I'm VERY confused about all this ratio thing. Never been on a DAFNE course as i just don't have the time but i find logging my results on here and browsing the forums very interesting and would like to try and learn from my new book.
