Happy 15th birthday DAFNE

The DAFNE diabetes course is 15 years old. That came as a bit of a surprise since I discovered it in 2013 and it struck me as being new and radical.

So why wasn’t I told about it when I began taking insulin about 15 years ago? The DAFNE diabetes course needs some serious publicity.

If you have done the DAFNE course then have a tweet. If you haven’t done it and you take insulin for Type 1 diabetes then do DAFNE. See the DAFNE website

I met a lady at a wedding a couple of weeks ago who became Type 1 a few years ago at the age of 30. When she discovered that I too had Type 1 the next thing she said was “Have you done DAFNE, it’s brilliant”. I had to agree.
