Does DAFNE produce a safe A1c for T1's
The provision of the DAFNE (Dose Adjustment For Normal Eating) structured education course is increasingly suggested for the management of type 1 diabetes. An assessment of HbA1c over a 7 year period is summarised

John summarised the results on our blog:
So with the best educational provision currently available over a 7 year period a reduction in HbA1c of 0.3% to an average of 8.3% was achieved and thought to be clinically relevant! The tragedy of accepting average HbA1c in the region of 8.3% is illustrated in the post:

I've read not a few Type 1s slating DAFNE. Several of them have pointed towards a much better online course by BDEC - Bournemouth Diabetes And Endocrinology Centre - which is free. DAFNE costs money, how else do you think they can afford the cake?

Easy to see why a dietitian would be attracted to DAFNE their diet advice could sit well with an A1c of >8 and a big slice of cake after the session
