DAFNE (Dose Adjustment For Normal Eating) is a way of managing Type 1 diabetes and provides people with the skills necessary to estimate the carbohydrate in each meal and to inject the right dose of insulin.
What is DAFNE?
DAFNE stands for Dose Adjustment For Normal Eating. It aims to help adults with type 1 diabetes lead as normal a life as possible, whilst also maintaining blood glucose levels within healthy targets, to reduce the risk of long-term diabetes complications.
Remote DAFNE courses available from the 20th of July, 2020
Since March 2020 face to face DAFNE courses across the UK and Republic of Ireland have been cancelled due to Covid-19. NHS and health organisation are now looking at how they can recommence services, but many are currently unable to reintroduce face to face DAFNE training in a safe way.
In response to this we are working on the development of a new course – Remote DAFNE – which is a blend of online learning, workbook activities and remote group sessions facilitated by DAFNE educators.
Remote DAFNE is based on a 5 week delivery model, with DAFNE centres being able to deliver the courses from the 20th July 2020. Training for DAFNE educators on how to facilitate the Remote DAFNE courses will be available from the 9th July, 173 educators have already enrolled on this training..
To date 67 DAFNE services have already expressed an interest in being able to offer Remote DAFNE, at least 24 of which will commence delivering Remote DAFNE courses from 20th July.
